2) The setting of this book travel across the
3) A main event was when Anna loved Ben, but had the choice of
4) A main character would be Sam. Sam moved from
5) Another main character would be Anna she is beautiful, confident and intelligent girl from the east cost. She went to Los Angles to be with her friend Sam and also to reinvent herself. In the process met Ben in
6) Cammie is another friend of Sam and Anna’s she grew up in Los Angles and is extremely wealthy. She dated Ben before Anna and broke up with him (that’s when Anna started to date him). Ben had an amazing idea of a club with a complete vision in mind that needed to be funded. After he broke up with Anna he started to seek Cammie’s company again he pitched the idea to her and it flew. She took millions of dollars out of her trust fund to back him and to build Bye, Bye, Love nightclub.

9) A motif in this book is like in math a negative for a positive. For example Anna lost Cammie as a friend because she was a back stabber. But she gained Logan who is the love of her life. So I guess in the end the things worked out for her.
10) Living you life a pre determined life is another motif. That comes out throughout the book. For example Anna had always known she wanted to go to Yale and she finally got in but Ben shot her down by telling her she was just living out her patents’ dreams and not her own he also told her that she was not her own person and that made her doubt her self. That’s when
