Torn By Cat Clarke - Starting October 31st 2013

[Abi]

Four girls. One dead body. A whole lot of guilt.

Alice King isn’t expecting the holiday of a lifetime when she sets off with her classmates on a trip to the Scottish wilderness, but she’s not exactly prepared for an experience beyond her darkest nightmares…

Alice and her best friend Cass are stuck in a cabin with Polly, the social outcast, and Rae, the moody emo-girl. Then there’s Tara – queen of mean. Powerful, beautiful and cruel, she likes nothing better than putting people down.

Cass decides it’s time to teach Tara a lesson she’ll never forget. And so begins a series of events that will change the lives of these girls forever...

Sarah and i will be reading this on the 31st. Everyone welcome to join. :)

[Abi]

Starting now. :)

[Abi]

8% - It's okay so far. Tara is annoying, though.

[Abi]

20% - I'm bored.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I can't start til a bit later. I was worried that this one might be pants though cause I didn't like

[Abi]

I didn't like that one either. I didn't realize it was the same author until i bought it though. :(

I'll switch to something else for a bit, and come back to this later. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

J. has been up since 6.30, so hopefully he'll have a nap in a bit and I can read!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Thought I had broken my bad streak last night, because was alright, but then I started which is dull.

[Abi]

You must be tired. :(

I'll just switch to something else until you can pick it up. :)

[Abi]

Oh dear. :( I don't think this one will change it. 20% and nothing has happened yet.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Unwanted guests departed, baby asleep, I can start now!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

2% 'why does being dead automatically make you a good person?
she's got a point.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

20% (view spoiler)[ poor Polly getting stuck in the tunnel! It was kind of funny though! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

I thought the same.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

28% (view spoiler)[ she can't tell the difference between a one person lump and a two person lump? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

30% (view spoiler)[ I'm thinking that Tara is going to end up down the well. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "30% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Would explain why Alice described her ghost to have filthy nails. They'd get pretty filthy if you were trying to climb out of a well. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

33% (view spoiler)[ yikes! she's dead?? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

33% (view spoiler)[ bingo! the well! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

34% - (view spoiler)[ Even though she just died, i'm still bored. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

38% (view spoiler)[ tara's language is gross - 'creaming youself over my little brother'
ick. just ick. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't think it's too bad right now. it could do with moving faster thouhg.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

41% it always annoys me when people who have got something to hide sit and chat about it in the cafeteria!

[Abi]

Haha, i know! I was always laughing at that while watching PLL.
(view spoiler)[ "No one must find out what happened that night - Then in the crowded area at school "WHAT IF JENNA KNOWS IT WAS US THAT BLINDED HER?!?!" (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

ha ha! it's silly isn't it!

[Abi]

45% - (view spoiler)[ Somehow, i don't think "I'm still obsessed with Dinosaurs" is a bigger secret than "Oh, you know.. i just threw your dead sister down the well" (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

44% (view spoiler)[ I thought she was going to be a total dumb ass and wear that ring for a minute! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

59% - (view spoiler)[ "I think i've forgotten how to breathe" Don't say that to Cass and Polly at a sleepover. When you're asleep, they might think you're dead, and throw you down a well! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I've not gotten that far.

[Abi]

73% - (view spoiler)[ Danni's got a point. They're all acting like they're Tara's best friends. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

78% - (view spoiler)[ Rae sending messages as "R" after she's dead reminds me a little bit of PLL / Thirteen reasons why. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

79% - (view spoiler)[ So if Polly saved Tara's life, because she always carries 2 inhalers on her - That means she could have saved her life on that day. Now it's making me think that when Polly said she talked Rae out of going to the cops, she actually meant killing her too. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm still at 46%. making rainbow cake!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

One rainbow cake! Can carry on reading now!

[Abi]

That looks yummy! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

As long as you don't mind food colouring! J. Saw it on YouTube and we've so far had to make it 3 times!

[Abi]

Aw, bless him! At least it's an excuse to eat cake. ;)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'll take any excuse to eat cake!

56% (view spoiler)[ I'm a little iffy about her dating Jack. It's nice that she has someone, but can she date him knowing what she knows about Tara? (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

96% - (view spoiler)[ She thought only losers had asthma? Charming. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

56% (view spoiler)[ I never worried about eating in the library, so I don't think she should when she's accomplice to a murder! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

57% (view spoiler)[ oh dear, that thing about the ring is so sad. How is she living with the guilt? How does she sleep at night? I haven't noticed her losing sleep! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

60% (view spoiler)[ I'm wondering how she's going to end this, cause if she doesn't end it right the whole book will be ruined. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

62% (view spoiler)[ 1 month 4 days does not sound like much at all. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

66% (view spoiler)[ oooh! Another one bites the dust! Let's hope she didn't say anything damming in her suicide note! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

I just finished.
I ended up giving it a 2.5.
The characters were really annoying, but wanting to know what happened to them kept me interested enough to not hate it.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Abbie wrote: "59% - [spoilers removed]"

That's funny!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I really want to know what happens too ☺ this seems really good compared to teardrop!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

67% (view spoiler)[ Rae obviously wasn't sleeping! Why is Polly so freaking calm? (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

69% (view spoiler)[ I'm so bad. I seriously just laughed about people calling the dance the dead girls dance! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "69% [spoilers removed]"

Hahaha, that line reminded me of the morganville vampire series, because one's called The Dead Girls' Dance.
