The Love Story That Shouldn't Have Been by Melissa Grijalva

the description for the book makes it sound way too serious and from the first few pages of this book, its obvious that its anything but that. Dellia was a victim of society and I couldnt hate her anymore. She is borderline unlikable and throughout the whole book she has a sense of entitlement that i couldnt stand. Seriously, she will punch you in the face, and insult you in the most awful way to push you away. Sixteen year old Dellia is an angry, depressed, an suicidal girl, with too much to say and a hatred for people. The Love Story That Shouldn’t Have Been, is a satirical take on common young adult tropes without losing its heart as Dellia finds hers. Has she accidentally become the protagonist in romantic comedy? How will she get out when the universe is pushing her towards her classmates? Dellia Sanchez is strayed away from reality, and into the fantastical world of young adult novels. This amateur artist has stumbled upon the romantic comedy of her nightmares.Ĭonflicted with her new found feelings, Dellia will navigate through her outrageous new life. She’s crashed into the potential love of her life. All is good.then bam! Green eyes, and the bump of her life. Reclusive and bitter, Dellia wishes for nothing more than solitude and silence. A cynic at heart, Dellia will do anything to keep her emotions intact.

Relishing anything morbid, she begins the first day of her junior year with a grim look on life. New girl, Dellia Sanchez, enjoys her isolation and comic book drawing sessions at home.
