January 3, 2013, Vic

[Suzanne]

I'd like to join as well!

[Gisbelle]

Great. You finished already, so we hope you join in the discussion :) I just started.

[Janna]

**WARNING: RANTING AHEAD WITH A BUNCH OF SPOILERS!**
Okay, just finished the first 10 chapters..

So far? I am in love with Andrew! Oh man, he is so freaking cute! I was kind of sad she was leaving on this crazy trip, because that meant Blake had no chance. But, boy did she UPGRADE with Andrew.

I was shocked with what Damon did, like really? 5 years with Natalie and that's how you act? Ugh!

Don't get me started on Natalie. How could she DO that? You don't just throw a friendship away like that. She didn't even bother to confront Damon.. Camryn was automatically a slut? What the hell.. Some friend.

[Vicki]

Thanks, Gis, I'm starting it today along with continuing and and also supposed to be doing a buddy read for . Such fun stuff, GOODREADS is!!!

Well, in Natalie's defense - that's Natalie, right??
she's not the deepest most profound "is my girlfriend worth more than my current screw buddy" kind of friend. I thought it was pretty silly that Cam expected more out of her friend.....

Not that I think Natalie is right in her reaction, I just think the author did a good job of setting that up - Natalie is SHALLOW!!! and always finds her worth with a man, not with a friend...if that makes sense.

I can't believe Damon hit Blake though!!! That was just crazy. I guess the author didn't set the scene well enough for me, but I just didn't smell danger all that much when she went to the roof...and I've been to lots and lots of clubs... Maybe I just didn't go dark places alone with strange men without telling my friends where I was going....I don't know

I wasn't a huge fan when I started this book. I didn't really start to like it until we hit Andrew's perspective. Now it's going better...but I don't know, I don't understand Cam...

andrew is a sweetie though -
although I'm concerned about his need to kill this guy on the bus. I'm glad he's hoping to protect Cam but holy crap, does he really want to go to jail again??

[Gisbelle]

in chapter 5. A bit busy cuz my stupid cat became a bad-a** and fought with a neighbor's cat. I had to take him to a vet.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh no!!! is he okay???

[Gisbelle]

a lot of cuts, but he is ok now. He looks so bad-a** with all the cuts on his face lol...

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol poor cat. I mean, yeah, clearly he's a scrapper :) but being hurt is never fun :(

Okay, I stopped at chapter 14.
I'm off to a Girl Scout meeting but I'll be back on when we're done ;)

Okay, yeah, I have to agree that Natalie is VERY shallow. Though, I was really hoping that she'd be a decent friend. Now I'm okay with it though, I mean, if she hadn't been so stupid, Cam wouldn't have met Andrew! Plus, if Natalie is going to act like that.. she DESERVES Damon.

I was a bit shocked by Damon's actions also! I mean, why would he be up there looking for Camryn? He didn't even bother to see that nothing was going on! Disgusting, jealous pig!!

The book did start off dull, but Andrew definitely brought the story to life a bit. Which is great, because I don't think I could take an entire book of the crazy Damon-Natalie-Cam thing. EH..

I found his need to hit the older creep concerning at first, though, I think it's kind of cute. Not that I want him going around beating people up and getting thrown in jail. The whole thing does make me want to trust him though, as his intentions seem honest.

I hope your cats okay, Gisbelle!!

[Gisbelle]

I might be a bit slower that you two. I want to finish The Raven Boys first.

I'm in chapter 7 now.

[Gisbelle]

About the cat, thanks both of you for your concern :)

No problem, just be careful about reading the thread! I don't want to ruin it for you!!! :D

[Gisbelle]

It is ok :) I haven't read previous comments yet :D So far, I love this book. A bit shocking when Damon dropped the bomb on Camryn. And I'm angry with Natalie for her reaction when Camryn told her about it :(

[Janna]

Good! I'm hear that chat about it when you're ready! I agree on both points!! Honestly, those two idiots deserve each other! :/

[Gisbelle]

You are absolutely right.

LOL! Yes, yes they do! SUCH a good point ;p

that actually makes me feel better about how shallow Natalie is...lol

[Gisbelle]

I am going to resume now. Raven Boys can wait :)

that act..."

AGREED!! Can't wait to read the next 10 chapters.. I'm dying to know what happens next!! LOL

[Vicki]

I'm loving this book so far, but like everyone else I'm upset with Cam's "best friend," Nat! Damon is a jerk! The second he decked Blake I knew he had feelings for Cam. But he was a jerk to attack her like he did.

When Cam shuts the whole world off & takes off to Idaho, I began to understand how easy it would be to isolate oneself off from others & begin to develop mental issues. I feel for Cam!

[Gisbelle]

i so agree with you Vic.

[Beatrice]

May I join? :) I'm currently reading it. :)

[Gisbelle]

YESSSSSS!!!!! I am still in chapter 9 lol...

[Beatrice]

I'm still in chapter one. I'll just catch up.. so far, I find it fascinating :) is this a tear jerker book?

[Janna]

So far, no it's not.

[Beatrice]

Oh I see. Thanks for the info :)

[Gisbelle]

I haven't cried yet either, but again, I am still in chapter 9. I am listening to The Raven Boys Now. Once I finish this one, I can move faster :D

I love the book so far too, Beatrice :)

[Janna]

No problem Beatrice!

I can't wait for you guys to catch up so we can chat!!!! :D

[Alice]

I loved this book SO much! But it broke my heart, but I beautiful story, start to finish

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

wow, I'm at just past Ch 20.

Um, this book took a big turn... how am I always surprised when these scenes are in a book... I guess this is a New adult book or whatever it's called.

where is everyone else?

[Vicki]

Sorry, but I am only in chapter 8. I do like how the author showed us Andrew's point of view. It gives us a different way of looking at him once we see the motives he has for doing the things he has done (sitting next to her, etc.). It gives me a whole different perspective.

But I did read what Trisha just wrote, so now I am wondering what the heck is going to happen. LOL

[Gisbelle]

I am in chapter 14.

haha... You are so right. I thought Blake was going to be "the one" at first. But ANDREW! I am so in love with him :)

[Janna]

Trisha, I'm just past 20 now as well! I was a bit shocked at the turn of events also. Not bad though!

Gisbelle, yeah right? I was thinking the same thing, Blake being the guy.. But Andrews awesome. I'll take it!!!

[Gisbelle]

I love Andrew event more after (view spoiler)[the heroic scene in the restroom (hide spoiler)]
