Isabel was a lonely girl. She didn't go to college because she took care of her mother's illness. Because of that, she didn't have any real friends or relationships. But, opposed as you may think, after her death their relations didn't improve. That was why she became kind of addict to the romantic novels, that completed the emptiness she had in her depressed heart. As a secretary typist, she often had contact with men, but after some experiences, she realized that she preferred to live in her own fantasy and remain phisically alone, with the only company of her stereotyped fictional love stories.
