Yay more people!! Thanks for joining us Diana and Mauve7!
I read it earlier this year. Loved! I'll drop by and talk with you ladies.
I just picked this book up from the library. I would love to join in!
Yay! Anyway how many chapters are we going to read in one day?
so let's see, there are.... 18 chapters, 236 pages...Um, how many do you guys want to tackle a day? I'm open!
I'd love to knock this one out quickly and do 9/day

OK I'll try my best! It's pretty short so I think I'll be all to do it!
ooooh swoon! I just completed chapter 9. It's a cute story so far! How is everyone else doing??
My obsession towards
distracted me from starting this! I'll be able to finish it today though and let you know my thoughts in a few hours :)
I'm still on the fourth chapter but I'm going to try and finish this until tomorrow. Haven't read a lot so I don't have any comments... yet
Okay, I'm just getting ready to start chapter 10. Yeah, I don't have a lot on this one either. It's cute so far...
:) all done. let me know when you guys are too! :D
OMG Trisha! Again? lol But 3 stars? I read it a long time ago, so I am not sure now the exact detail of the book hehe...I loved the airport scene :)
I'm done as well! I don't know, it was really cute but I'm stuck between 3/4 stars. I'll give it a 3.5 in my mind and up it to a 4 on GR. My largest annoyance with the book (non-plot-related) was that I thought it should have been written in first person and not third. Am I just being weird or did any of you notice that? I thought the third person limited style got kind of awkward at times, and I was literally converting it to first person in my mind LOL

yes, I never feel that connected with a MC when they are in third person.... I am totally with you on that! LOL! I totally converted it too!!
Ugh, I wish Goodreads had 1/2 stars! There are so many books that would change my rating ;)
People have been requesting the half star for months, probably years. But GR said it would mess up the whole system or sth. We'll see.
Whoa you guys are fast... I'm still on chapter 12. I like it but there are parts where it's a bit boring
I wonder why it would mess everything up. After all, it's all computer statistics that handle the program's analytics, and I'm sure they can handle decimals in their computing. Who knows.
That would be SO useful though.
Sorry to jump in on you guys here but I have always wished that they would have half star ratings as well! It would change my ratings a lot of well!
Yeah I was wondering whether to give this 3.5 or 4 stars as well. But I rounded up and gave it 4. It was cute at the end.
I thought it was cute too, but it didn't "wow" me, if you know what I mean... It did get a little boring in the middle when they were both off doing things... I don't know. it was cute...but I think that's about the most I can give it.
Yeah, me too. I liked it but I didn't love it. I wish there were more of Oliver in the book. There wasn't a lot of him as I wished.

I think it was because it was in Hadley's POV. I think it would have been better if it were in Oliver's POV
YES. I agree 100%. There should have been dual narration. (With each one being in first person, thank you :p) I get that this is just another YA contemporary adventure novel, but I could never (on my first day in my first foreign country) navigate to an entire different section of London and back on 10 pounds and no sense of direction during the time I was supposed to be taking photos for my father's wedding. Especially because I just had a "revelation" that he was at a funeral.
It was all too improbable (pun intended) for me to believe.
This is pretty much why I also didn't like the parts when they were apart. It made this too nonsensical.
Yeah totally. It was kind of unrealistic. I mean London is huge, how could she possibly have found Oliver just because she had a revelation?
