2020年12月開始看這本，有很大的感想是，講愛情的英文小說比較容易看得下去XD
而且詞彙真的不難，很好懂且重複性很高，看完一本就可以記住那些詞的意思了。
(之後看哈利波特的時候，感受到極大的差距xd )
我自己原本有買一本叫做< 50 Great Shorts Stories >的英文書(是人生第一本英文書，看到很便一而且網路上有人推薦就買了)
他是很多小故事組成的，但我就沒辦法看下去
因為有些單字真的是沒看過(攏跨謀
看完一個小故事，懂3/5而已
所以真的推薦從有興趣下手
像我自己就是很喜歡cowboy這個形象
所以想看跟鄉村男生的愛情故事lol

Asking Aubrey to the winter dance while Jane looked on as though he wanted to make a point.
He still couldn’t understand how the kiss had hit him so hard when it didn’t seem to affect her at all.

That secret was definitely going with her to her grave.
With a coy grin still lightning his eyes, Toby shrugged as if to say, what’s the difference?
Beth hates beer. And cornhole, for that matter.
Toby’s long stride carried him a few steps in front of her.
They’d bickered back and forth in more than one classroom debate, but that had been the extent of their interactions.
Suddenly the vents felt like they were pouring out heat.
Toby slid that heart-stopping grin her way.
Wes took after their mother while Jane took after their father.
I don’t hold a grudge.
No one use the word ‘smut’ to describe romance or erotic novels anymore.
Not only is it a top-selling genre, it’s also a gateway for female empowerment.
The woman sat beside her, still looking bewildered but so intrigued. “The old mysterious. Mary Huggins Clark. Agatha Christie. The ones without sex or all the vulgar language. vulgar 庸俗,下流的

終於看完這本了~
大概說一下大綱:
女主角Jane跟男主角Toby在高中時，基本上就是很常爭論的冤家，都很聰明所以很常比較輸贏。
但在一次派對上，Jane躲在角落看書，Toby遇到她，兩個人忍不住接吻，結果之後被圍觀，Jane當時表示自己不喜歡Toby，因為Toby那時候很花心，她不想像其他女生一樣。
(Jane小時候是個害羞的女生，非常不喜歡被關注，那陣子她父親去世了，所以整個人也都變了)
隔天Toby邀請了另一個女生去冬季舞會，這件事讓Jane耿耿於懷。
多年後，他們倆各自的好朋友要結婚了，他們便回去那個城鎮當伴郎伴娘和籌備婚禮。
在這期間他們解開誤會，Jane重新踏出一步，勇敢體驗她自從父親去世後便不敢做的事。
Happy Ending!
