Sometimes after reading so many amazing books about these amazing and epic love stories, we look at our lives and think, "What the hell?"

Why? Because nothing is like the books.

We're either single, hoping and waiting for an amazing romance. Or we are in a relationship (and happy) but it's nothing like those you've read of in books (high expectations). I'm not saying it can't be great- it just that it usually isn't what we dream of book heroes or heroins. 

We often times find ourselves comparing our lives and relationships to those in books. That;s just who we are.

For example: 

Where are all the guys like Four, who are strong and brave and just want to save the world?

See? Totally unrealistic. We don't even live in worlds these people come from. And I'm getting carried away with these gifs.  You get it. 

So for us boys and girls who have really high expectations, we have our books where we live so happily and can love vicariously through our characters. 

Who is your bookish dream guy or girl?
