Harj

Hello fellow bloggers,
I hope you have all been keeping yourselves safe and happy!
Well today I am goin to tell you about a boy called Harj who is the main character in the book Two-Timer by Bali Rai. Harj is a teenager who is always thinking about girls but he usually doesn't have much luck with them. He lives in England and I know this because of some of the descriptions in the story and because he says the word "fit" all the time, which is what people from England use instead of hot or beautiful. Harj has friends who get girlfriends all the time but he never can until one week where he gets asked out by two "fit" girls. He couldn't say no to either of them so he has to try and sneak around as a two-timer.

I think the author made Harj a young, teenage boy because alot of stuff happens to guys at this age and they really start to worry about girls. I believe that this age group is a really interesting subject to talk about as I am about the same age as Harj would be. I think the author was trying to aim this book at adolescents of both gender because they can relate to the story.

I think that if the protagonist in this story was a female the story would change a fair bit because girls face alot of different issues at this time e.g they care alot more about their physical appearance and what they wear than guys. I think that this would become a prominent issue if the gender was changed but the idea of trying to get a date would still be in the book as i think that girls worry about this too.
