Review Of " Love " by Catherine Lim
Love is an interesting story with a rather sad ending. The story starts off with Frankie deeply in love with Pearl. Catherine Lim then goes on to describe how deeply in love he is. Next, the author writes about how Pearl is in love with Frankie, and how he is better then her previous boyfriends. But when Pearl sees Frankie's father and his condition, she starts to change her mind. She was worried it might affect their relationship and their children. She would also have to spend the rest of her life tending to him. She couldn't take it. That night, Pearl writes Frankie a letter and pleads for his forgiveness. After reading the letter, Frankie is heartbroken and says he can never love again. Pearl and Frankie still love each other but because of his father, they are separated and move on with their own lives,looking back at this with mixed feelings.

Do you believe in loving someone truly without conditions or regards to difficult situations like what Pearl is facing?
One situation is like what they say, "Love is Blind". The other situation is love by being mindful of practicalities and realistic constraints.

You have done a review of the story but have not really expressed your thoughts on it. Do you justify what Pearl did? Do you think she was very self-involved. Why do you like this story more? etc. etc
