How is Love Sucks Different?CONTD

I also wanted to make Love Sucks different in love story department. In most of the books I've read it's the females who are always pining after the guys. Now maybe because I am a strong willed, independent, woman, I felt that we should switch this around for once. Why not show the woman goin after what she wants. I didn't want Cara to be weak. I didn't want to her to have to rely on anybody but herself and I think that's important. Because in real life,(and I know, this book fictional and doesn't have to do with real life) we often have to rely on ourselves. Life is about taking chances, otherwise, you might never get anywhere.
