Woooohhoooo! I've been meaning to get around to this one or a while! Lol

[Brianna♥]

lol if you are delayed...we can always start slow :D

This one caused me a lot of stress last year when we needed to vote. I couldn't choose whether to vote for Easy or Pushing the Limits. In the end, I voted for Pushing the Limits! :)

[Brianna♥]

Ok I'll let you know! :)

And Gisbelle, I'm so excited for this one! Must have been good if you voted for it and gave 5*!

[Gisbelle]

Yes Brianna :) I am excited that you guys are going to read it too!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

alright, this one starts tomorrow!!!

it's pretty long

how much are we trying to read tomorrow??

[Brianna♥]

I think since the chapters don't have numbers, it might be easiest to go by a certain # of pages? Maybe check back every 75 pages or so? I should hopefully have quite a bit of reading time tomorrow, so I'm pretty much up for anything :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

lol I hate when they don't number the chapters!!!

alright, every 75 pages sounds great! :D

I can't wait to chat about this one !!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, I stopped at page 79 since it's a chapter break for me.

Wow, Noah is....(view spoiler)[ yummy! LOL! but he's had a tough life. He's street smart and book smart. AND he's a bad boy BUT not a jerk. he's actually a sweet guy under the tough boy look :) HOT! LOL (hide spoiler)]

Luke...(view spoiler)[ Meh. I don't like him much. he isn't fun or exciting...or....meh..he's boring (hide spoiler)]

Beth (view spoiler)[ scary biker chick. She cracked me up! (hide spoiler)]

Echo (view spoiler)[ I like her. She's had it rough too!
Ugh, and her dad!!!!! THAT guy sucks, big time! (hide spoiler)]

I'm scared to know what happened on the day Echo can't remember....

I'm going to keep reading :D

[Brianna♥]

I stopped at 79 too! Lol

I totally agree about Noah.. (view spoiler)[ I think it's awesome that he wants to get custody of his brothers. So sweet! I love that he is so concerned and that he brought them gifts. :) (hide spoiler)]

Yes, Luke.. (view spoiler)[ Why is he all of a sudden interested in her again? And yes, not too exciting. I'm hoping for more character development there. (hide spoiler)]

Echo.. (view spoiler)[ Again I agree. It would be so tough to have a dad like that, let alone a bipolar mother. Aires sounds like he would have been a great brother, and someone who she really could have used after whatever happened with her mom. (hide spoiler)]

Does it seem (view spoiler)[ strange to you that she's letting her friends control who she's with and what she does? Does she really even want to go out with Luke? I didn't get that impression at all. Especially since she didn't dance with him at the party. Why would she agree to go on a date with him? Just to make her "normal" again? Is it worth it? And wouldn't that mean she's just using him? (hide spoiler)]

I really like the flow of this so far, and I'll have to continue reading this tomorrow night. :)

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

OMG,I love this so far. I'm 150 pages in.

I love that Noah (view spoiler)[ Helps Echo remember Aires and the things they did together. he brings up the happy memories and they can share them. (hide spoiler)]

And I held my breath (view spoiler)[ When he got to see his brothers!! and his brother wrote a book about him! Ugh, so awesome!!! (hide spoiler)]

but I think, so far, my favorite part was in (view spoiler)[ Spanish class, when they talked to each other.

and he touched her hand
and he said Echo felt like home.
I thought that was so powerful. To a boy who's lost his parents AND his brothers. Who has bounced around foster care..... :) awww, I just thought it was so wonderful! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

omg, I'm done
I just...couldn't put this down last night.

wow...it's amazing.

[Gisbelle]

told ya :) it is one of the best :D I'm so glad you liked it.

[Brianna♥]

Just finished! :) LOVED IT!!!
