I See You Everywhere pg. 1-43

Summary:

 I see you everywhere by Julia Glass is the story of two sisters Clement and Louisa Jardine. The two sisters are very different from each other. Louisa is quite and artistic while Clement is more outgoing. The sisters are brought together through the death of their aunt Lucy. During this chapter, Louisa talks about how she didn’t want to see her sister and hoped that she didn’t have to talk to her. Once they meet, the sisters don’t talk to each other a lot but they hang out with Ralph and Hector, friends of Clem. Louisa decides that she would steal both of them from Clem to get back at her for stealing one of her boyfriends.  The chapter ended with the four of them being in a picnic.

Quote:

"He had to be the one, I decided - the way he put his arm arm around Clem and whispered in her ear- but I liked him too...At first I thought it was a game- a taste of revenge- but now, with the wine singing in my ears, I decided, both overjoyed and mournful, that I was falling for the guy" (Glass 27).

Reflection:

I enjoy reading this book a lot even though it gets kind of confusing with the shift from one narrative voice to another. Other than that the book is interesting and realistic. I also choose the quote because it expresses a lot of emotions. It explains how Louisa’s feelings for Ralph. In the beginning it all started as revenge against Clem but in this quote it is shown that Louisa was really falling for the guy.
