Yay! Fingers crossed you can!

[Beatrice]

^ True :D

[Kathy]

Are we ready for this one tomorrow?

It's not marked by chapters. So we have 354 pages. Do you want to post every 100 pages? Or just when something happens?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Oh no! I forgot to order this one! Let me do that right now. I should have it by tomorrow or Wed!

Ok! It sneaked up on us!! lol! :D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

It definitely did! But I have just been loving contemporary now and I have only been wanting to read that so this buddy read works perfect!

I know! I really want to read it too! I need a break from fantasy! :D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Me too! I have a whole pile of contemporary I want to read!

[Kathy]

I didn't get to this one today. I'll try for tomorrow. :)

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

My book is waiting at the library! I will pick it up today!

[Kathy]

Ok! I'll start here in a little bit! :)

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

I started just now! I love, love, love the pictures! :D

[Kathy]

ok! I'm about 94 pages in. I figured I would stop at the pic of the rubber band and that would make it about 100 pages.

Min (view spoiler)[ I love how she is telling him all the good things and bad things about their relationship in this way. She is kind of kooky and offbeat, but in a funny way. I like her! (hide spoiler)]

Ed (view spoiler)[ I'm sure what to think about him yet. He seemed ok...at first. But then he took that flyer ripped it in half and it didn't even phase him that they were hanging them up...right then!! But I would have given him the benefit of the doubt...right up until at Cheese Parlor he grabs Laurens purse and is going through it like it was his own! Takes her money!! And acts like it's nothing!!!!! I mean, who does that and thinks it's ok? Wow! (hide spoiler)]

Al (view spoiler)[ I think he likes Min. He has "no opinion" of this thing with Ed. Yeah right!! I really think he likes her! And he is sweet! I hope the wind up together! (hide spoiler)]

I'll read more tomorrow! :D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Well I caught a cold! Oh no! I went to bed early last night so didn't have much time to read. I will catch up later in the day!

[Kathy]

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon! I'm not in any hurry to read this. I have lots of books going at the same time right now! lol! :D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Thank you! And okay! :D I will see how far I get into it tonight and come back and update my status and thoughts!

[Kathy]

Ok! I haven't read anymore today and I prob won't get to it again until tomorrow! You're welcome! :D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Okay! :D I will get as far as you are tonight and then we will be on the same page (LOL) for tomorrow!

[Kathy]

Ok sounds good! :D

[Kathy]

Ok 200 pages in. I'm at the picture of the little pink case? Compact? And green background.

Ed (view spoiler)[ Maybe he was just nervous when he was at the Cheese Parlor? Could have been. And the thing about him ripping Al's poster, sometimes people just don't pay attention. He seems like he's ok to me again and I keep wondering why is was they broke up, the big thing that happened. Am I making excuses for him? I don't know, but when he and his sister had their "family thing", I was thinking good for him that he wanted to like her still and be with her. But I was also thinking is it a lie? I don't know. (hide spoiler)]

Min (view spoiler)[ Do you notice that she talks in run-on sentences, almost? When she really gets going it reminds me of when my daughter gets home from school and she hasn't seen me all day, she's talking really fast because she's trying to get a whole days worth of events into about 5 minutes!! lol!

But I still like her, I think she feel to quick...there is that word again...for him. I think Al should tell her that he likes her, though I'm glad he finally told her that he didn't like him. I mean how is he supposed to like him when he ripped his poster right in front of him!? (hide spoiler)]

I'll read more maybe tomorrow, maybe Tues. :D

[Kathy]

I'm done! I liked it, the writing was differnet and the pictures were really cool.

Ed (view spoiler)[ I wanted to punch him! He was cheating on her with Annette!!!!! OMG! What a PIG!!! He said they never said they were exclusive! UGH! (hide spoiler)]

Min (view spoiler)[ I liked her! She was funny even with her weird thing where she compares everything to an old movie no one her age...except Al...has even seen or knows! (hide spoiler)]

Al (view spoiler)[ I knew he liked her! I want them to be together, but it never said if they were at the end. I hate when the author doesn't give a clear picture for you on things like that at the end. Like Ed! I also wanted his reaction on the box! And evrything in it! I at least wanted to see his facial expression! (hide spoiler)]

Hope you like this one when you get around to finishing it! I think you'll really like it! And I'll come back to chat with you!!:D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

I am glad you liked it! (: I put this on hold for a little while because other books I was reading were more interesting. I will probably pick it back up Monday or Tuesday! (:

[Kathy]

I know what you mean about them being more interesting. It's not that I didn't like this one, it's just the writing was different I think. But I loved the idea of it and I also loved Min's voice in the story. I think that's why I liked it so much. It's so realistic, I could totally see a girl holding on to these things and them throwing them on her Ex's doorstep when she was ready to let it go.

Did you know that there is a movie supposed to made from this. I would like to see that! I would love to see acted out!

Get to it when you can and I'll chat with you! :D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

A movie? Wow, cool! :D Do you have any idea when it will be coming out?

Thanks, Kathy! (:

[Kathy]

No, I don't. They haven't even started casting for it yet. IMDB says it's still in development which could mean anything really. I think they are working on a script though, at least I would like to think that is what they are doing. lol!!! :D

You're welcome!

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

lol! :D Hopefully it does turn into a movie though! (:

[Kathy]

I know! I think it would make a really good one, if they didn't mess it up! This one I think is pretty straight forward, but that doesn't mean anything! lol! :D

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Yeah, with the movie industry anything can happen.
