[Berit]

I'm going to ask this question outside a spoiler, I live in California and people are pretty liberal around here. Would it really be all that big of a deal for a girl to come out in high school where any of you live? Just curious, my oldest nephew is gay and it didn't seem to be all that big of a deal. Also my daughter was a competitive dancer for many years and there are a lot of gay guys in the dance world :-)

[Jackie]

Not where I live it wouldn't as two of my friends have come out. However, I feel since they live in an upper class area the people are set in their ways and aren't so accepting. Yes, there are lots of gay guys in the dance/theater world.

[Berit]

You are probably right about that, I forgot the whole upper upper class thing, I guess I've never lived that kind of life, and I'm actually glad about that ;-)

[Jackie]

Oh, neither have I! I'm kinda glad, but not at the same time if that makes any sense? Also, at about Chapter 14 and the book is getting really intense!

[Berit]

It's almost like I need a commercial break to come post :-) almost done with Perfect

(view spoiler)[ i'm so glad Hannah is such a better person and this book, let's see how Spencer gets herself out of this, and I hope Emily decides that she is just fine the way she is, although I'm a little questioning on the girl she has with right now, and I hate hate hate hate hate aria and Ezra , No matter what he is a teacher! (hide spoiler)]

[Jackie]

Great! how many chapters are there?

[Berit]

38 chapters ;-)

[Jackie]

Oh, I'm on chapter 14, not even halfway there. :) Anyway, (view spoiler)[I want to know who A is! I'm positive Spencer's secret's gonna get out. (hide spoiler)]

[Jackie]

Oh, also, what update did the new imojis come on?

[Berit]

IOS 8.3

[Jackie]

Oh, I don't think I've got that yet, let me check.

[Jackie]

Wait I do

[Berit]

Just finished, wasn't Hannah's boyfriends name Caleb and the television show?

[Jackie]

Wait, what is his name now?

[Berit]

Lucas, maybe she dated a Lucas before Caleb, I don't remember. I just know I really liked her with Caleb.

[Kina]

I'm originally from Georgia, and now we live in South Carolina. When I was growing up being gay was a bit taboo. There were a few gay guys that everyone knew they were gay, but they didn't come out until after high school. There were many lesbians, but not too many people treated them differently. I think it's harder on the guys. Now fast forward 15-18 years. My little sister is 15 and most of her friends are gay, or bisexual. No one seems to have a problem with it at all. I think people are more accepting of it now.

[Berit]

That is for sure, nobody was gay when I was in high school which was 25 years ago, I mean they were they just weren't open about it, now it doesn't seem to be any kind of big deal at all, which is definitely progress and I'm glad it is the same way in the south.

So were you " officially pissed off"? Lol.
I wonder what type of upbringing the author had, because I have yet to see an example of good parenting. I know it's a work of fiction, but geez give me one good parent. (view spoiler)[ I don't think it is a choice either. Who would choose that lifestyle with all the hate involved in it. I think Emily's parents are just completely f***ed up. They are racist, and homophobic. (hide spoiler)]

[Berit]

Yes, officially!! I'm hoping the bad parenting is just to add drama to everything, I know I am a very open and liberal parent, but please!

[Jackie]

Chapter 17: (view spoiler)[Why wouldn't she want a couple game? I think it's cute! (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Yes, we are :) Im up to the third, and there are two people reading the second, and I think Berit is reading the fourth at the moment

Chapter 10:(view spoiler)[I feel so bad for Spencer, she did something wrong, but her parents have been really mean to her as well! (hide spoiler)]

[Stormy]

update let's start with ch 10 (view spoiler)[I am not Hanna biggest fan as she think she can change Sean so she can have sex with him(view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Stormy]

I'm 50% done with this book and I am absolutely loving it I am going to say again I love how it varies a bit funny TV show I still wanna know who a is though

[Markus]

I really want to see the TV show now, the book is so good.

[Markus]

I like how the chapters have titles, I haven't seen that for a pretty long time.

[Stormy]

I really like the TV show I didn't even know it was based on books until I heard everyone talking about it in our chat group

[Markus]

I think I've seen a few episodes, which were really good, but it was like season 4 so I didn't continue.

Back to the book though, I wish Spencer and Melissa would become friends, I'd like that a lot.

[Stormy]

My favourite character is Spencer

[Stormy]

I hate how her family treats her yeah I know she did something wrong and they got a right to be upset with her but cutting her off and putting it back into your old bedroom and not actually talking to her that's going to bit far just my opinion

[Markus]

Chapter 33:(view spoiler)[So are Melissa and Spencer alright now? (hide spoiler)]

[Markus]

This was so good, getting on to writing my review now!

[Stormy]

Finish this book and absolutely loved it just going to start my review as well

[Kina]

Anyone ready to read Unbelievable(book 4)?

[Berit☀️✨]

Me!! I'm starting On believable, right now :-)

[Kina]

Yay! I will start later today. I'm still reading the other two buddy read books we're on. :)

[Berit☀️✨]

Chapter 4, once again the parents are all crazy! (view spoiler)[ well they are going to let Spencer compete with a plagiarized essay, and Emily's parents have Center off to a farm that resembles hell on earth :-) (hide spoiler)]

[Kina]

Chapter 5- Yes the parents are still horrible. I started watching the tv show and the parents are so different(at least in the 1st 4 episodes I've watched) (view spoiler)[ I can't believe how ridiculous Emily's aunt and uncle are. It seems that her cousin Abby is a wild girl. I wonder what kind of trouble they will get into. Finally Ezra has sense to leave Aria alone until she's an adult. I think maybe they can have a great relationship, but it's wrong to have a relationship while she is a minor. (hide spoiler)]

[Berit☀️✨]

No they are totally different in the show, plus they really don't play that major role , Chapter 11(view spoiler)[ Emily gets sent off to Iowa living with the crazy lady, then her cousins make it seem like she made them go to the party, if I were her I would be glad to get out of there, I had to laugh when she let the goat go :-) (hide spoiler)]
