It's Over!

After the funeral, Rob started showing changes that he was making in his life. Now that Laura is back with him, i think that he feels a lot better about himself and his self esteem isn't so low. But what i think brought a significant change was the fact that he actually talked to Laura about how he felt. She challenged him to examine himself and basically called him out on a lot of stuff, and he began realizing what he wanted or could b satisfied about in his life. He comes to the conclusion that he loves Laura, and even though she rejects his marriage proposal, and they aren't sure where they are gong in the future, Rob knows that he has to stop over analyzing everything but just let go. He starts making decisions on his own, not letting his top five's or record collection decide for him. But he's actually taking a step forward with his life by claiming it and doing things himself. i think Rob is pretty believable. The reason I say this is the fact that he knows everything isn't concrete, like his relationship with Laura. So he knows everything might not turn out all right in the end, but he wants to be with her right now while he has her. That's the reason why i think he's at peace. Not saying he's got everything sorted out, but he excepts the fact that his life and relationships are what they are, and he has put some effort into it.

I like the end of the book. While he always hated Barry's band, it finally displayed that Barry actually had talent and Rob was proud by the fact that Barry proved him wrong by having a great show. Also, Laura and Rob left off on a good note as well. As the reader, I don't really know if they'll stay together forever, but I do know that they are both happy and proud of each other at that moment.
