I read endings first…

Yeah, I do. I read endings first. I'm like Harry in "When Harry Met Sally." I read endings, I flip through to middles, I scan ahead. And yet, I still keep reading. (Well, if I like a book that is!). I knew the ending of Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver (one of my favorite books) before I read it and I still read the whole story. I knew the ending of Where She Went by Gayle Forman before I read it and I still read the entire novel and still loved it (and you will too because it's AMAZING! So buy it next month!). I know most people cover their ears and avert their eyes and think knowing the ending ruins the experience, but books are a journey, movies are a journey, stories are a journey. So as long as the journey is enjoyable, I'll keep going even if I knew where we're going. In fact, maybe I'll even enjoy it more! Do you read endings first?

Jesse I absolutely do.. My husband and I were laughing in the book store the other day because he caught me and I said to him, "don't you worry about the way I read my books!" I don't do it to all books, sometimes I feel it will spoil it, but many of my absolute favorite books, I skipped ahead to make sure I wanted to go through the drama of getting to a good ending!
