In the second part things really start happening.

I agree with you about the reason Sorcha was in the book, only to give a push.. it's a wasted character.

It has 89 chapters.. how about 5 chapters a day, which would end at 18 days.. but it's not like we sped through this one 😅 I don't know how slum-ish I am, or when I'll have one of slump days so *shrugs* and also, if we do get to read more and faster.. that's not a problem we'll comment it in the thread.

The only question is now when should we start? Could we maybe wait for Saturday or next Sunday? I have to make some things for the group and if my internet is amazing like it was the previous two days it'll be a question if I'll manage to post those.

I started reading this, but didn't have time to comment.
I'm not that far in because I'm commenting this before I continue reading it, but so far I like that it's written nicely, it just flows by. And I'm curious what actually happen for them to stop having their holidays together.

I just finished chapter 30 and I started thinking about the original Romeo and Juliette (view spoiler)[ they die.. will they really die here, or will they fake their death? If fake death is going to happen I think I know a part of it. Roma's scientist said he is making something that would make you look dead for 3h and I think Juliette stole that one. (hide spoiler)]

thoughts in the middle of ch33 (view spoiler)[Well, Juliette killing the general was so... eh. They just got in, she shot him first and didn't even ask questions, assuming she knows shit.

Do you have thoughts who the vaccine person could be? For a second I thought it's Roma's scientist.. but he's not British.. Another person that would fit being the suspect is the younger Dexter guy.. but he also is not British.. i think, American? (hide spoiler)]

chapter 35 (view spoiler)[ I was right-ish.. it's the younger one.. and omg, he saw Juliette a few times and he loOoOOOoooves her *rolls eyes HARD* (hide spoiler)]

I finished it!! Thank the book gods.

(view spoiler)[ I guess no one of the main dies/fake dies.. which makes sense since there's at least one more book. But gosh, why did I read this? I still feel like nothing much has happened. (hide spoiler)]

Yes, and when you think of some author's books this is great.

I haven't made any progress 😅 because like you I just don't want to pick it up 😂 but I'm gonna push and finish it because I didn't struggle through half of the book to drop it.

@Cat July threads get closed at the end of August. If you guys want to have an active BR of this book, just tell me and if it's closed I'll open it again.

Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

pg. 42 The summer electrical storms in southern Cali were vivid but rainless, so they had scaled the cracked drainage pipe by their kitchen window and lain together on the red tile roof, wearing only a blanket, watching the sky split open.

I read up to Empire of Storms"

Okay, so there are some books you haven't read.
Are we continuing BR the series?

(view spoiler)[ Yes 😢 poor Dorian, shit really is going to happen to him. (hide spoiler)]

So I saw this is a re-read for you, did you read the whole series or did you read up to a certain book?

(view spoiler)[ Let's be honest we didn't expect it to go smoothly 😂

It's too descriptive and dry-ish, you can see that it's her first book. However, as first books go it's not bad. (hide spoiler)]
