I finished Point of Retreat and absolutely love the relationship between Lake and Will in both Slammed and Point of Retreat.I would highly recommend both of these books!

She has a new one called
and it is AMAZING!!!
I'm reading it now! :)I completely agree with you. :)
Finished Tracy's pick for me
on Monday. Very quick read but it lacked development I though. I enjoyed the girls friendship and how Isabelle deals with her bulimia, her family and the individual therapy sessions. The Group dialog was lacking although her binges with Ashely also lacked some development. ( I kinda think that binges would be more fun with friends but it just lacked some friendly dialog and we don't really learn much abut Ashley or her reason for binging and purging....) Good look at eating disorders but I still can not help comparing it to books like Wintergirls. I would have also given it a different title as it didn't really deal with being Perfect like I though it should have.
Hello.Tammy - the reason you didn't hear from me is because you did not message me. I am very busy and do not get a chance to view the thread often. I rely on people messaging me my choice when I get really busy and I reply to that message within a day.
Apologies.
I will be reading one of your picks for me soon. Do you still need a book picked for you?
I would advise that anyone who gets me in future to ALWAYS make sure to message me (it's open to non-friends as well - you do not need to add me!). Actually it'd probably be a good idea for anyone waiting to hear from their partners to message them always.
I finished the first book in the three that were picked for me this month. I read The Fault in Our Stars. I must say it was a wonderful read! The characters were relatable and each one improved the others. I felt like I could connect to them but at the same time I couldn't imagine what the characters felt and how much pain they were in. The storyline was interesting with a twist that made my heartache. I thought it began to be a bit rushed at the end, but the beginning was nicely paced. I'm very glad I read it. Thank you, Camilla! I hope the next books I read will be just as good!

I am sorry, I was under the impression that everything was to be done in this thread. I must have missed your message to me, my apologies.
I'm good Carrie picked a few for me to read.
I've finished
which was picked for me by Leigh. It was just okay ** stars from me. Betty White is funny and charming but the book just didn't flow for me. It felt more like notes for a book that should have been revised and edited together more clearly.
Alyssia, I just discover I own Huckberry Finished so I will read this instead of Kiss the girls if that is ok with you.

. Brandy, thank you for the pick. Here is my review. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...I enjoyed the read.
I finished
. Rebecka, thank you for my pick. I really enjoyed it.
Ok both of my pick it for me partners picked on Dublin street by Samantha young and so I went with that book first :) I liked it and give it a 3.5. It's a new type of book for me since I usually stick with paranormal (romance) horror, suspense, mystery type books but love the authors other books and wasn't surprised that I liked this one. It's got a great and easy to follow narrative, great cast of characters and who doesn't love Scotland?! Fast read! Thanks again for picking for me.
I finished

I just finished reading

I'm giving you the choice of:
I just read On Dublin Street. It was really good. I guess I'd call it a modern romance/erotic fiction (but nothing like 50 shades. I really enjoyed it and read it pretty quickly. Interesting characters that make you wonder what happens next and keeps you reading.

..."I'm still reading Catching Fire. It's interesting at the moment. Unfortunately I'm only getting snippets of time to read it hence why it's taking so long.
