The Rules Do Not Apply by Ariel Levy

The Rules Do Not Apply by Ariel Levy

Loss of love can be crippling. Your life becomes a constant out of body experience. You cry until there are no more tears and then you just remain dazed. Afraid to move or maybe you just forget to. Time passes until you realize that you have got to do something, anything. 

People always had an opinion about Ariel Levy. They always thought she should tone down something. She was deaf to all of that and pursued her own dream. Moved to Manhattan to write the kind of stories that made her proud. It was all rosy and beautiful until tragedy struck. The wrecking ball of life set on a course towards her and there was nothing or no one to pull her out of the way. She lost her child, her husband and her home. However, Ariel still had spirit. Somewhere deep down she was still the girl who searched for unconventional heroines. 

Ariel Levy bares all with this story. She disrobes and displays her vulnerability. The story is heart wrenching and endearing and profound. It is inspiring and interesting and haunting. It is well written in an engaging voice, exactly like a personal story should be written. You can tell from the way the story is told that the author took her time to write this. That she paused in the middle of sentences feeling her feet soak up the rain water.

This book is highly recommended to the ladies, remember your power. The men should also read this so they now the kind of girls they should aspire to raise. The Rules Do Not Apply is simply a piece of art.
