46% - I like the descriptions made of Joe. How he brightens up a room. I can just imagine it!I'm not sure what to make of this book at the moment!
It's a good read. enjoy peeps! :)
Just starting this today! :)
I liked this a lot.the setting and the characters had this sort of magical quality about them.
I love how the characters seem so colourful.
Does this book count as you for the Mimic Mods challenge Greta? :S

Ah okay :)
It saddens me about Toby and Lennie. She says she won't do it again then it still happens! Unfreakingbelievable. I think Lennie reminds Toby of Bailey, that's just it. But it's still wrong :c Then there's Joe, who's all smiles and almost always surging with happiness. I love the descriptions of him, too. And how he feels comfortable around the Gram and Big's company. What a good guy! About Lennie's parents, I'm really really curious about them.
I never expected this to be a tearjerker. I feel like crying right now hahaha! Grandmothers are the best. I wish mine are still alive. Never even met them, at least old enough to remember, though. Joe really is hurt, and I hope somehow he forgives Lennie. It's frustrating me! It's been long now. I could really sympathize with the characters and that's a good sign :)
I agree Mei I got really sad over Toby and Lennie's relationship at times. However, the author does it so well that I could also understand both their points of view. And yes Lennie's grandmother is so cute! And I love Joe.

Hey Kathryn and Lindsey, are you all still hoping to buddy read this? I don't think I'm going to be able to pick this book up till the end of this month or even till the start of next.
I can push it back if you want. I have only read 2 chapters.
Hmm...I have three books that I need to finish first. One is almost finished. Another started. If you wanna go ahead and read it, iI'll try to pick this up on Monday. And after I finish it, we can discuss it here. Does that work?
Sure. I also will go at a slower pace. I too have a few others to read.
Should I change the date on this?
I'm reading it but at a slow pace so others can join!!
I am planning to join shortly :D
Has anyone finished this yet? I am not going to get it read by Wednesday like I had first hoped. But I would still like to discuss it, when everyone finishes. I started it today and read a couple chapters.
Kate and I will be reading this on March 21. Mods, please change the date? :)
Hi Kate how you doin? Will start this tomorrow :)
Sure Margarita! I'll start this after lunch! :)
Just started. I just read a couple of chapters and wow, it's beautifully written. :O Jandy Nelson describes things so well. <3
Done reading it! Wish I didn't put it on hold cause it was a good and an easy read but yeah, college stuff..Thoughts:
I said it before and I'm saying it again. This book is beautifully written. The characters are all hip, cool, and screwed up all at once it's interesting. (view spoiler)
I think this thread was supposed to be reset to start on January 22nd butttttttt it seems like we forgot to tell mods and nobody is reading it anyways??
Mod
It's okay.. I'm just about done and no one seems to be joining so no worries.

Started!I have high hopes from this book, because I absolutely LOVED I'll give you the sun. I'm not too happy with the synopsis, though. In a relationship with your dead sister's boyfriend? Ugh, nope. Sounds like a Gayle Foreman novel.
"Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker, bookworm and band geek, plays second clarinet and spends her time tucked safely and happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey. But when Bailey dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to center stage of her own life—and, despite her nonexistent history with boys, suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two. Toby was Bailey's boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie's own. Joe is the new boy in town, a transplant from Paris whose nearly magical grin is matched only by his musical talent. For Lennie, they're the sun and the moon; one boy takes her out of her sorrow, the other comforts her in it. But just like their celestial counterparts, they can't collide without the whole wide world exploding.
This remarkable debut is perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, Deb Caletti, and Francesca Lia Block. Just as much a celebration of love as it is a portrait of loss, Lennie's struggle to sort her own melody out of the noise around her is always honest, often hilarious, and ultimately unforgettable."
Me and Martha are reading this! It counts for the Fairy Tale Challenge under Beauty and the Beast for the main character is a bookworm or a rose on the cover (another edition). You can also use this for Spell Buddy Reads and Mimic Mods.
