Yep, utterly crazy. I was just like 'what??'

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ did she really think they'd say 'that's fine, just go be with your loser boyfriend, we don't mind' they were obviously going to get pissed at her! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Ugh, my freaking kindle won't let me read this book now! So annoying!

[Ellen]

Chapter 1-4 (view spoiler)[ I am really liking it so far. I love that we get to see both perspectives. I myself have easier to relate to Joshua than Eve and would never ever be able to leave my friends behind for some spotlight. But I think it is a really interesting view, to see why she chose that. It really lifts the insecurities of that age, from both Joshua's and Eve's point of views (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Can I join this one? I'm still reading the calling and I have finished beguiling trickery. Epub format, please.

Chapters 1-15 : (view spoiler)[Come on now seriously there must have been people who saw that and felt bad for the boy,and for 3 years now nobody even bothered to tell the principle too? And do NOT get me started on the principle. (hide spoiler)]

[Siobhan]

Im finished since saturday but im away so i cant post the link to my revoew im going to post the review now

[Ellen]

Chapter 9 (view spoiler)[ So horrible about Joshua's old friend's sister dyeing and what horrible children they are for bullying him when he's going through that! Of course bullying is never by any means OK! These children seem so heartless!! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Can I join Sarah? Epub format please.

[Patrick]

I can accommodate the late-comers if it's okay. Simply PM me your e-mail address and the format in which you want me to send the story and I'll get it to you within 24 hrs.

[Patrick]

Sharon, I have sent you your copy! Isaboe, please PM me.

Can I join if that's ok?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yes, that's fine ☺

[Sharon]

Chapter 1 - (view spoiler)[ I was counting down the days till I got out of school all the time. I can relate to Joshua. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 2 - (view spoiler)[ She ditched her friends for the popular girl. That's really low. I know how it feels to be ditched by your friends. It happened to me more than once. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 6 - (view spoiler)[ I think being popular has gone to her head because she's acting like a jerk to her own sisters. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Chapter 7 - (view spoiler)[ Poor Joshua...losing his sister that way. I am loving this story! So relatable to myself. (hide spoiler)]

[Maria]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ poor Joshua. Eve's being horrible to him! I actually feel like crying for him
And aww,he counts his days...I still do do that >< I find him adorable (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ the writing's quite simple. Maybe I should have expected this as it's from the POV of two thirteen-year olds. Or...maybe not. But the story flows well. I like that. (hide spoiler)]
