Two Sides Of Love In Two Way Street

The characters in Two Way Street were two past lovers who were once totally in love. Their names are Jordan and Courtney. This book gives to sides to their relationship, the chapters go back and forth to their point of views. Generally people tend to only listen to one side of the relationship when it is much more than that, this book goes into great detail to show you that there are always two sides and you should always have open ears. Here is how it goes, Jordan and Courtney arranged and prepared their future together, which probably was not the most optimal idea. They broke up because of a girl who he supposedly met online, well that's what Jordan told Courtney. However, it is much more complicated than that. There is a tremendous secret behind it. When Jordan and Courtney were dating they planned to go to the same college. Therefore they both applied to the exact same college and got in. With that said, they also did not get a plane ticket because Jordan and Courtney assumed it would be fun and a way to get closer if they drove on a road trip together. The main setting of Two way street is on the road.

The first day of the road trip Jordan comes to pick up Courtney late.

Courtney then gets furious at Jordan and does not want to talk to him. It is much more complicated than just being wrathful due to Jordan picking her up late, there are so many reasons she is furious. There are two sides of this breakup, hence the title “Two way street”. Let me remind you, as I am giving you a glimpse of this story Courtney and Jordan still love each other but do not want admit their feelings that remain for one another, they are not on talking terms. Courtney and Jordan are constantly fighting over ignorant things. Courtney is jealous of his “internet girlfriend”, therefore she is trying to act like she is not bothered by it, however submerged down her aching heart it is burning of major jealousy. The secret is yet to be to be revealed, not by me of

course.

On Jordan and Courtney's way to college, Courtney repeatedly likes to remind Jordan that she is talking to someone else in an intimate way, but truly has no feelings for this guy, his name is Bj. The only stop they were suppose to make along with bathroom breaks was to see Jordan’s brother and Courtney’s “boyfriend”. Even though Jordan wants to see his brother so badly at the college he has been away at, he does not want to leave Courtney alone with Bj. When they got there things were not so great between Jordan and his brother neither with Courtney and Bj. Therefore, Jordan just left courtney at Bj’s dorm and left to go check in at a motel for the night. Jordan was tired of keeping the secret from Courtney, he was done lying to her. He then called Courtney’s dad and said that he is not going to lie to Courtney anymore he's going to come clean about the secret. As soon as he hung up he went to go look for Courtney. He was finally gonna tell her the truth, the honest truth, the secret was about to be revealed. As soon as Courtney's dad heard that he was going to come clean about it, he obliviously got intimidated and called Courtney. The secret was finally out.

Courtney now knows the truth and is learning how to cope with it. I strongly suggest you read the book as well, so you get to find out the secret for yourself and learn a lesson from this book. This book is for a mature level pre-teen or to anyone who can simply connect to it. I won't give away the part if she forgave Jordan or her father. One quote that stood out to me in this book was "it makes me feel better, but only for a second because, let's face it-no matter how much you tell yourself you're over someone your heart knows the truth". I connected to this quote because I constantly tell myself I am over something someone said to me or something someone did to me, or what is going on with my life that I need to stop and give myself a reality check. This quote does not necessarily need to only apply to relationships. It could apply to something that means so much to you and its gone or irreplaceable. That is where this quote could come into play.
