In chapter three, Ronnie, she decides to explore the Georgia coast by herself. She finds everything uninteresting just like her pessimistic outlook on life. Ronnie decides that she will go to the peir and look at all the shops first although she thinks that she will find nothing. When she gets there she was right, she finds nothing interesting although in this chapter it shows an intersting part of Ronnies character. She walks up to a puppy shelter showing love and compassion towards the puppies. Which is very unlike her negative apparel and outlook. She then donates to the puppies fund for a home. This part in the book proves Steves premonitions about Ronnie still being the sweet little girl he has always known, on the contrary beleif of her mom.
After donating, Ronnie decides to look at beach volleyball game going on below the peir. Although she is not one for sport watching or partaking she decides to give it a look because there is nothing better to do in this "boring town". When she gets down there she notices the stereotypical croud, the good looking boys playing and then the pretty, tan and blonde girls fawning over them. After Ronnie has a good staredown, she notices one of the boys, thinks that he actually doesnt look that arrogant but then corrects herself. She then gets bored and starts to leave and just as shes walking past the game a ball goes flying at her which soon she gets ran over by the cute boy she had noticed earlier. While she had been nearly trampled she also had her entire drink spilt all over the front of her.
She notices the kindness and true regret of the boy but she still is pretty standoffish toward him. When he tries to make amends by the only way he knows how, flirting, she completely shuts him down by walking away annoyed.
So far I am really liking this book. I think it is a very easy read, but even though it is not very challenging I still am very enveloped into this book reading every single detail. I love the character of Ronnie, maybe it is some alter ego I wish I had, who knows.. And I am still looking foreward as always to reading more
