YES!!!! As soon as we're done with this one, we should see how busy we are and try to schedule that one too!

[Angela]

I bought it a few minutes ago, because I think I'm really going to like Callum & Harper.

[Alexa]

I'm all up for that one too! I was thinking I could "use" the April-month for trying to finish all the series I've started so it's perfect!!

[Gisbelle]

I'll join!!!!

[Angela]

Yay, Gisbelle!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay welcome Gisbelle!! :D

[Gisbelle]

Thanks guys! I've been thinking of reading this one for months.

[Janna]

I've been dying to read this book! I love the cover. I'm in!!!

[Kathy]

OK I had to buy it, so I'm in too!! :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay!!! Welcome Janna & Kathy!!!

[Kathy]

Yay!! Thanks :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Oh my! I'm so excited for this one tomorrow!!!

I have 3 other buddy reads, so I think I'm going to try to finish up at least 2 of those and then I'll start this one tomorrow.

I think I'll check back every 5 chapters. is everyone okay with that?

do you guys want to set a goal?

[Gisbelle]

Checking back every 5 chapters sounds perfect :) I'll finish up a buddy read today and I'll get ready for this one tomorrow :)

[Alexa]

checking back every 5 chapters sounds good to me!

[Janna]

5 sounds great to me, as well! :D

[Kathy]

yep sounds good! :)

[Gisbelle]

I might not be able to start until Friday. I need to finish a book for a challenge in another group first. I'll catch up later.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

No worries,I haven't started this one either.

maybe we'll take this one slower until Friday?

[Gisbelle]

Thanks, but please don't drag it just for me :D I'll be free after I finish my current read, so I am sure I can catch up :)

[Janna]

Well, I've finished the first 5 chapters! Hope you guys get a chance to catch up this weekend. :D It's cute so far.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'll probably read it before I got to bed (in about 4 hours) but I'll try to get to it earlier :D

[Janna]

No rush! I'm just really enjoying it so far. :D

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I started this last night and I love it! Callum is just too cute!!! I love how they both saw each other and then stumbled out together. They are too cute!

what a place to meet...

[Janna]

I agree! It's so adorable! :D A little strange how fast they are falling, but it's still so cute!

[Angela]

Aw, I can't read this with you guys because my Kindle is still broken. :(

[Alexa]

I think I might have to start this one the weekend or Monday because I have so much real life work going on and juggling between books is getting difficult because of lack of time to do so :/

I'll catch up though so no worries!

[Kathy]

I'll start this one tomorrow. :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

oh my goodness!!! I am just gobbling this little story up.

these two are too cute!
but what they have been through :( ugh! it's pretty bad

and they just can't seem to catch a break
I just finished chapter 10 and am just over 1/2 done.

I love it so far. are you guys enjoying it?

I just finish..."

Um, heck yeah! I am really enjoying this book!! :D

They are just so darn cute!

I may be back tracking a bit but (view spoiler)[ the scene where she invites him to sleep on the make-shift bed the first night was funny. (hide spoiler)]

Oh, and (view spoiler)[the laundry mat scenes are so cute! (hide spoiler)]

What do you think of Sam?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

um, how far are you?

I'm just over 1/2 way. and I think Sam is awful. She is an awful seflish person. :(

and John...the foster brother. OMG.... I couldn't imagine all of that happening in front of me!

And then...the party... lol I'm trying not to spoil anything....

how far are you so I make sure I'm not spoiling the surprises :D

[Janna]

I'm at about 65% right now. [A ways into the (view spoiler)[-2 years later- (hide spoiler)] part] So, let's chat! LOL

Ugh, I really dislike Sam. She is something else!

John? (view spoiler)[He is a real piece of work! What a disgusting pyschopath. I can't believe he is out already! Poor Callum, I can only imagine how he felt being so inferior to John in the fight. (hide spoiler)]

What'd you want to say about the party?

just that they (view spoiler)[ got married! :D (hide spoiler)]

I couldn't believe they just did it! LOL!

I'm almost done. It's crazy. I don't think I've ever wanted to (view spoiler)[ shake two people more! Ugh! Just say you love each other already! OMG! Say you are "in love" (hide spoiler)]

lol it's good, it's just crazy how reserved they are...

and Sam...ugh, that girl just will not stop! she pops up waaaay later in the story too!!!

[Janna]

First off, I'm done! Second, OMG OMG!! The entire ending blew my mind!!! (view spoiler)[I mean, the ending was seriously action packed! That psychopath comes back in the library, escapes the police, and shows up AGAIN on the plane. I nearly cried reading the parts were he abuses her.. Not to mention her almost dying!!! It was so close to the end of the book that I was scared it would be one of those books with a terrible, sad ending! I'm happy that Charlie and Cherry are together, though. Oh, and him becoming a doctor PLUS a baby Tate? Awesome! (hide spoiler)] I think to say that I loved this would be pointless, as I believe I've made it obvious. Lol!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay!! I'm done too!!! You loved it!!

tell me !! tell me what you liked most!! :D

[Janna]

Hmm.. Lets see. (view spoiler)[ I'd have to say that I loved Callum's strength most of all and the drama in the story. It seemed like they couldn't catch a break. But no matter what happened, he stuck by her. How could you not fall in love with such a sweet and devoted guy? The drama was intense, with John and all.. But it made the story that much more exciting, painful yes, but still exciting. And their friends? Perfect. I found their dancing around their feelings a bit exhausting, though. (hide spoiler)]
What about you?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Yes! (view spoiler)[ I just couldn't help it! I was like "OMG KISS HER ALREADY!!!" I know they were so damanged from their foster families and their lives, really...but ugh! 2 years?!?! (hide spoiler)]

I've never wanted to throw my kindle so much as when (view spoiler)[ he left....ugh! it broke my heart (hide spoiler)]

I loved the end though!
and I loved their friends! Cherry and Charlie and SO and Tiedyed shirt Tim (was that his name! LOL!)

and Callum...what a great guy! But I also thought Harper was a strong girl. she'd been through a lot!

[Janna]

Uh, I know! (view spoiler)[I mean the whole thing of ignoring it for 2 years it just nuts! Especially, since they were lusting after one another. RIDICULOUS! Lol (hide spoiler)]

Tell me about it.. (view spoiler)[I considered throwing my iPad, too! I mean after all of the fighting he has done for her and with her on so many levels.. He just up and leaves like that?! Not to mention, HOURS after she was assaulted by John! Idiot. (hide spoiler)]

I loved them all, as well.. minus Sam. It's tye-dye Tom I think. There is a book 2, and it's Tom's story!! It's called Thomas & January.. Only 2.99 on kindle! :D

I agree, Harper is really tough as well. One of the females I've read, actually. Poor thing he endured much more than she deserved.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I have Thomas & January too! You'll have to let me know when you're gonna read it! maybe we can buddy read that one too!!!

Tyedye Tom. Their names crack me up

SO for smooth operator. I couldn't tell if they called him s-o or if they actually said "so" lol

and I love when tom still had the tyedye shirt under the fancy suit (at their wedding I think).

And John was SO SO SO crazy. he was so crazy. I couldn't belive just how crazy he was.
and for Callum to lose his bike because (view spoiler)[ John stole it and then ran that lady over! (hide spoiler)] my mouth dropped open that was so crazy. I can see how Harper wouldn't want to EVER use the (view spoiler)[ bathroom on an airplane again. Ever. I could see even just flying giving her panic attacks (hide spoiler)]

and their house burned down, money stolen. Just ugh. Callum and Harper definitely went through so much.

I wonder if book 2 rehashes the same time frame or is told after all of this.

[Janna]

I have it already! So whenever you can find time. I can wait if you can't anytime soon, I know you're busy with other buddy reads :)

I love their names, too! I was wondering the same thing about SO. I mean, they say what it means but not how it's pronounced. I settled on so, instead of s-o, personally. Lol

The bike thing? I was sad (view spoiler)[ that Callum lost his bike and that woman died. Even worse though, was the box left in their apt by John during the fire! I mean a woman's fingers were in there! And videos of them sleeping. So damn creepy. Poor girls who died for having any similarities to Harper. (hide spoiler)]

I wouldn't blame Harper if (view spoiler)[she refused to step in another airplane bathroom! I wouldn't! Though, I'd probably have a fear of concerts and libraries too because of that guy. (hide spoiler)]

[Janna]

Oh, and I looked at some of the reviews of book 2.. From what I'm seeing its a completely new story! This takes place after the stuff in Callum and Harper's story.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay book 2!!!! I can't wait!!! :D

[Kathy]

I'm starting this right now!!! :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay! I can't wait to see what you think!!!

[Vicki]

I want to start this one too, but I can't just yet. :(
