Wantin

Wantin by Truth Devour is a good story about love, trust, belief, wanderlust and courage.

Talia looses her parents really young and has grown up with her aunt's family. Her best friend is her cousin Brad and she is obsessed with horses.

On her twenty first birthday her cousin Brad confesses, that he is in love with her, but since they are cousins nothing can happen and he leaves. Talia also finds out, that her parents left her heaps of money and property and she decides to leave to. At first she lives in Melbourne, enjoys life, enjoys her boyfriend till he wants more that just good sex and easy companion. Talia says thank you for your love, was nice knowing you, and leaves. This time to Thailand.

Her travel agent follows her, since he fell for her the minute he saw her, so they have nice six days and then she has to push the guy away, since she does not want all the things he wants.

After he leaves, Talia is 'adopted' by a local family and she starts to learn Tai Chi. After being couple of months in Thailand, she has once again find her center and she comes back to Melbourne. Her flatmate has opened her mail, to find out where Talia has disappeared and has also discovered, that she is loaded. That's too much for Talia and she moves out. She has her own place now, she continues her Tai Chi classes and she has to go to her cousin's Brad wedding.

Brad has not totally given up on her, so all she has to do is say the word and they would run away together, but she can not do this to herself, to Brad and her aunt. So she gives the groom away and leaves. On her extremely slow way back to Melbourne, she crashes a sweet eighteenth birthday party and stays with the birthday boy for a couple of hot days and nights, that is, till he asks her to marry him.

This time, she is not leaving for a short vacation trip, she packs her stuff and goes to London, to her parents flat.She also visits her fathers parents in Hungary and when she returns, her aunt tells her the news what could change her life or could not.

So she leaves for Paris, learns photography, takes pictures of different sexual preferences and goes back to Hungary. While she is with her grandparents, she meets gypsies and gets a message, that Brad needs her help.

So she goes back to Australia, helps Brad and finds a most becoming passage from a random book If it feels good loving the wrong person, imagine how wonderful it is going to be when you love the right one

So its a book about a young woman, who acts like a man, when it comes to a love, men around her act like women about love, and after she has been with a man, she has ruined them for all the other women. She is kind of cliche - she is rich, she travels, she takes photographs, she writes poetry, she likes ride horses and she does not want to get married or have children.

And still, even if it reminded me Eat, Pray, Love, it was a good, positive and uplifting read.
