This book is a bit different.
It's about Jasmine and Matt who were fired from their jobs.
Jasmine was given gardening leave,
she didn't have to work for 1 year but she's still remaining on the payroll.
Matt had to go through the same situation.
They're neighbours.
Matt was a popular DJ in Ireland but one of his shows
became controversial, so he had to stop working.
Matt had issues with his family, his wife left him, his son hated him.
Jasmine lost her mom when she was 15 because her mom had cancer.
Her sister, Heather had Down Syndrome and her dad remarried Leilah and they had a daughter named Zara.
Jasmine didn't like it when people felt sympathy for her.
She felt like she didn't need people's help and
she constantly felt the need to protect her sister.
Jasmine hated Matt because of one of his shows discussing
Down Syndrom and she felt that
Matt wasn't being respectful.
Slowly, the gardening leave caused them to become closer
and they truly understood each other's situation.
I thought they're gonna fall for each other.
But they're not!
They remained friends and they both managed to solve their problems
as time passed by.
I learned that
we shouldn't rush in this world.
We should consider others' opinion and
think about we act.
We should grab the chances that we're given and
stop holding back.
When we have problems that we think we can't solve
or get away from,
we should consider doing something as a distraction.
Find new hobbies, do new stuff and build some amazing interests
and never feel like the world is ending.
When the caterpillar thought that his life
was gonna end, he became a butterfly :)
