[[deleted user]]

Do you want to do a schedule, Maddison?

[Maddie]

Sure Nancy. You can choose, but not too much please XD

[[deleted user]]

How bout 2 chapters a day?

[Maddie]

The chapters in this one are really short. So maybe 5 a day?

[[deleted user]]

OH didn't know that so sure.

[Maddie]

Haha thanks. And 5 chapters will still be a reasonable amount.

[[deleted user]]

Alright that's good

[Maddie]

Yeah. I'll just tell you how many pages the first day we'll read if we choose 5 chapters.

[[deleted user]]

Sounds good

[Maddie]

27 pages including chapter 5. Unless you just want to read to chapter 5 the first day so then the numbers are rounder XD

[[deleted user]]

I'll just ready 5 chapters a day starting today.

(view spoiler)[Chapter 1-I wonder why they call her "Belly."
Chapter 2-I don't know if I like Conrad yet. I have to read a few more chapters to see if I like him.
Chapter 3-Steven and Conrad are like my brothers. They would do that same to me when they though Belly in the pool.
Chapter 4-I liked how Suzanne told Belly it was going to be her summer.
Chapter 5-Steven sure does remind me of my brothers and how they are when they are around me but so far, I like everyone in the book and so far, I like the book. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Chapter 6-Looks like Belly is still in love with Conrad
Chapter 7-I think Belly wants to smell good for Conrad. That's why she brought her perfume.
Chapter 8-I wonder is Conrad is starting to like Belly.
Chapter 9-I can't believe Conrad is smoking. I agree with Belly. Conrad should quit.
Chapter 10-I wonder what happened between Belly and her dad. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

(view spoiler)[Chapter 11-I like how Conrad is treating Belly at age 9.
Chapter 12-Wonder who Mr. Fisher is and why did her mother always leave to go to place without her children.
Chapter 13-Glad Belly didn't tell her mother Conrad was smoking.
Chapter 14-I wonder if Conrad's mother died from her cancer or if she lived.
Chapter 15-I wonder if Jeremiah liked Belly. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

(view spoiler)[Chapter 16- I think Belly likes both Conrad and Jeremiah but not sure which one yet.
Chapter 17- Jeremiah was a good boy to teach Belly how drive a stick.
Chapter 18- I can't believe Belly lied to Taylor. Of course, Belly still liked Jeremiah and Conrad. She just doesn't know which one she wants.
Chapter 19- I wonder if Belly is going to see her dad.
Chapter 20- I think that's when Belly started liking Conrad when he starting defending her. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Maybe use spoilers to hide your thoughts Nancy? XD

I haven't started because I've been away. So I'll catch up tomorrow hopefully. I'll just read to where you're up to :)

[[deleted user]]

(view spoiler)[Chapter 21- So that's why people call her Belly. It's a nickname from her dad.
Chapter 22- Not sure if I like Mr. Fisher yet, but i do like how Jeremiah is treating Belly.
Chapter 23- I like Cam and Belly together.
Chapter 24- I wished Cam and Belly would have kissed and that date would have continued more then just the movie, like Belly wanted.
Chapter 25- I wonder if Cam and Belly will be boyfriend and girlfriend fully. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I'll read to Chapter 26 today.

[[deleted user]]

I'll stop so you can catch up.

[Maddie]

No you can keep going. Are you up to date?

[[deleted user]]

Yeah. I'm on chapter 26 starting tomorrow.

[Maddie]

Okay :) I'll try read there. Chapters are short, right?

[[deleted user]]

I'm reading on my Kindle so for my version some are short and some are long.

[Maddie]

Okay :) Preferably short :p

I'll reply to your spoilers when I read them haha.

[rachel, x]

Sorry girls. I have been away and had no access to wifi so I didn't want to start if I wouldn't be able to comment.

chapter five - (view spoiler)[I already am not a huge fan of Belly. I hate girls that act possessive of their crushes and get all weird when they talk to other girls etc. Its like they forget that the boys are actually single and are completely welcome to flirting and crushing on other girls. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Okay Rachel :) I'm up to chapter 2 nearly 3.

[Maddie]

Just got to Chapter 5.

[Maddie]

@Nancy: Chapter 3. My brother wouldn't do that to me. My friends might, but then just before they threw me in, they'd back out haha. They'd know I'd be annoyed.

[rachel, x]

My brother wouldn't have the strength to throw me in a pool!

[[deleted user]]

My older brother would. My older brother loved picking on me when i was little and my older brother still does when he gets the chance.

chapter five - [spoilers removed]"

Actually that is so true. Funny how that's completely me with my boyfriend. I get jealous so easily.

[Maddie]

How old's Belly? 16 and a half?

Its a little different if he's your boyfriend and openly flirting with other girls - and you've made it clear you're in a exclusive relationship though. :)

[Maddie]

Haha Kane would never do that to me. He says I'm all he needs, always.

[Maddie]

Chapter 12.

[Maddie]

@Nancy: Chapter 13. Smoking a cigarette doesn't make you act differently though, does it?

[Maddie]

Chapter 15. (view spoiler)[Man I love Jeremiah! I hate how everyone likes the dark moody guys. I mean, come on! Hellooooooo!? There's an amazing caring funny guy who likes you and you just want the mysterious older bad guy. Just get over it! (hide spoiler)] Sorry for the rant haha.

[Maddie]

Chapter 18. (view spoiler)[Ugh Taylor's annoying. But omg Jeremiah! He's the dream guy! Apart from my boyfriend, of course haha. No one beats him. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Finally just found out she's 15.

I think about that age.

(view spoiler)[I agree that Conrad shouldn't be smoking. I don't understand why anyone smokes. Its disgusting, makes you and everyone near you sick and could kill you. What's the appeal? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

She's 15 nearly 16.

[rachel, x]

Maddison wrote: "@Nancy: Chapter 13. Smoking a cigarette doesn't make you act differently though, does it?"

(view spoiler)[Sure it does. Its a drug and if its not just "normal" cigarettes that he smokes than it is obviously going to change you. You get high, do stupid things, it changes the way you think, slows you reflexes, addles the mind, and gets you addicted. Not good. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Maddison wrote: "She's 15 nearly 16."

Oh okay. She seems a little older.

[Maddie]

@Rachel: Yeah but I thought normal cigarettes did nothing?

Yeah that's what I thought XD Like 16.

[rachel, x]

@Maddie I am not a drug expert so I won't go into detail but if you get addicted you will get cravings and that can make you incredibly moody. It can even lead to violent rages. The bodily harm is obviously much, much worse. You can get over 60 different cancers from smoking commercial cigarettes.

[Maddie]

@Rachel: Oh woah! That's crazy! Thanks for explaining haha.

[rachel, x]

That's okay. :)

[Maddie]

Where are you up to, Rachel?

[rachel, x]

chapter nine. Sorry I am slow. I am trying to do other stuff at the same time.
