Erich Segal "Love Story"

In "Love Story" Erich Segal begins telling the story by letting the audience know since the very first line in the novel that one of the main characters in the book, called Jenny, dies. It was very interesting to me the way he started the book. Usually, most of the writers whenever writing a book first tell the story and than tell the end of it (they use the chronological order). However, Erich, first told us the end of the story, that Jenny dies, and then starts explaining the story chronologically.
Oliver Barret IV, is a guy that comes from a very rich family and studies at the Harvard University. Jennifer Cavillieri comes from a poor Italian family and she was raised only with her father. They meet each other at the library where Jenny was working. What really made me laugh in these first chapters that we read was when Jenny told Oliver that he was stupid, and he asked her why she thought so. She says to him that she would never go out with him, and to that he replies that he would never ask her out. However, Jenny once again proves herself as a very smart girl and explains him that HE IS STUPID BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T ASK HER TO GO OUT!!!!
And that is where the whole romance began. They went out for a coffee, fell deeply in love with each other, and finally decided to get married.
