Just Listen

                The main character in Just Listen, Annabel is not very patient when it comes to relationships. Annabel often feels that after one fight they never want to see her again so she doesn't try to resolve them. This becomes a pretty big problem for her through out the book. 

                One of the first relationships that Annabel didn't deal with well was with her old best friend, Clarke. The past summer Annabel and Clarke had a big fight but Annabel only tried to apologize once and that was the day after the fight, and so of course Clarke was still mad. After that Annabel never tried again and that scrude up their relationship. For example in the book Just Listen it says " 

"I'm surprised, I didn't think you cared if i was upset!"

 "Is that really what you think," Clarke asked "that I don't like you?" 

"You don't" I said "not since that summer with Sophie"

" Come on Annabel, you were the one that blew me off. You don't like me, Annabel, it's been that way since that summer."

" I tried to talk to you! That day at the pool!"

" And that was the only time. Yeah I mad but it had just happened. You never came around again, never called. You were just gone!" Clarke said

                 Another relationship Annabel didn't deal with well was with her boyfriend Owen. In the middle of the book Owen and Annabel have a fight, because Annabel blew Owen off without any explanation. Then the way that Annabel dealt with it was not the best. For example Annabel was not feeling Well and she felt awkward around Clarke so Annabel just bolted. She was at a concert and told Owen that she was getting water but then just left. This was not a good idea because then the next day Owen got mad, and so Annabel started ignoring him. See a pattern?
