Dusty Buddy Read

[Kelly]

43% after prom/beach (view spoiler)[ first, holy shit! alice and Petey! Way to ruin the moment. Poor Jasper! I thought Alice had caught them on the dock for sure.

I love how Edward orchestrated the whole prom night plan. Very sweet and hes definitely trying, but if shes not gonna reward him for being good, why be good?

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

I know Kelly, (view spoiler)[ after prom broke my heart. He has totally tried so hard for her...it just breaks my heart. (hide spoiler)]

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

43% The beginning of chapter 19. (view spoiler)[ This just kills me. Why can she not see how he's changed and that she would be good for him??? (hide spoiler)]

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

45% So I feel like when (view spoiler)[ Bella goes with Garrett to watch the storm it's foreshadowing that (hide spoiler)] shit is about to hit the fan.

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

46% loc 9056 (view spoiler)[ "If I had said yes just once over the last few months, how different could right now be?" At least she can own up to contributing to this big cluster-fuck. (hide spoiler)] I'm just sick over this.

[Kelly]

I made it to 46% last night. After Petey's party..(view spoiler)[ After his trip to Demitri's friend's house, or wherever. I just feel sad for Edward now. I was proud of him for pushing Mixie off but I knew his siren was calling out to him, and I kept saying no nooo! Then it happened :( (hide spoiler)]

I'm so glad it's Friday! I know I'm probably gonna pass you up this weekend Shannon, you and your silly football ;)

It broke my heart! I was afraid in the beginning of this story that he would just be the bad guy and truly at fault for everything and I wouldn't connect with him. I'm not one of these that's always fawning over the broken man...However, this story isn't really like that. (view spoiler)[ I wonder what is going on with Bella that she kept turning him down while he was doing so good for months. I also wondered what happened where she suddenly decides she doesn't want to sleep him now. He's the only reason she's still a virgin. You have to give him credit there...odd as it is. I get the feeling like he feels like she was the only pure thing in his life and he didn't want to taint it. (hide spoiler)]

You probably will pass me up but it won't be because I'm enjoying football....I'm traveling to Nashville to watch my best friends daughter perform in a marching band competition. We'll have to listen the to UT/AL game. I'm so bummed! It's one of the biggest games of the year. However, this is also the biggest competition they'll compete in this year too.

God I love this book and I can see why everybody loves it so much! It's probably going to break my heart though!

[Kelly]

I think I just read that there's going to be a part two released in January? I'm excited about that and I'm not even halfway done with this one :)

How exciting about the competition! Best of luck to her and her band!

I am love, love, loving this book too! I am thinking the same about your spoiler. I can't wait to find out.

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

You can read the next part online if you make a donation to the kidney foundation (I think that's the charity). A friend gave me the link. Of course I'll never be so happy to donate money ;-)

What competition?

[Kelly]

oh awesome!

Your best friend's daughters marching band competition!

Bahahahahaha!



We'll have a good time...we always do ;-) I'm with you though, the book isn't even over and I'm already happy to have more!

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

62% He may have finally crossed a line with me! (view spoiler)[ Ditching the graduation dinner was just completely uncalled for! We're talking an hour! (hide spoiler)]I'm beyond furious!

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

63% OMG! (view spoiler)[I thought she was gonna go all the way with Garrett! He's going to end up really hurt in all this. I hate her! (hide spoiler)]

It was so close I was a nervous wreck!

[Kelly]

I'm still right at the beginning of 62%. Shannon (view spoiler)[ I was just mad at both of them.. Dusty for going back on a few benders and then Bella for making him do it! I feel sorry for her. She's stuck. She loves him, and knows it's toxic to even be in a relationship with him. But if she leaves him she knows it'll be the end of Edward. She's the only reason why he's still hanging on somewhat.

She should be able to go off and try being with Garrett if she wants to. It won't be a normal silly teenage break-up though, it's so much more and I feel sorry for her to have that kind of weight on her shoulders! She can't be a young care-free 16 year old. She constantly has to worry about what her actions will cause Edward to do. (hide spoiler)]

Oh Lord I've been wondering where you were!!! Oh Kelly, I agree with everything you said! At the time of his graduation I was so mad (view spoiler)[that she had put him off for so long when it was so obvious it was really destroying him that she wouldn't publicly recognize him. I think he probably felt like he wasn't good enough. But then when he ditched the graduation dinner...it was just too much of an overreaction on his part. (hide spoiler)]

I'm at 73% now and everything you're feeling for Bella will X 10 as you read what happens next. I'm so angry with him! It's been like a ping pong game with my anger. The ball is totally in his court right now. I found out yesterday that Greed (Spencer's story from Vain) came out. I was dying to stop Dusty and read but I just decided to really dig in and finish this baby! I'm still wanted to chat about it though so comment here or hit me up on Facebook! I was going insane last night/early this morning reading!!!! lol

[Kelly]

I've got everything caught up at work so time to read til I go home! I can't wait to hate/love them more! lol

I haven't read Vain yet, I guess I better get on that too. My TBR-soon list is getting huge.

YES!!! You MUST read Vain Kelly. It's in my top 5 for the year.

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

75% (view spoiler)[I'm not sure how I feel about this! It seems like they had better opportunities to make the first sweet but then again it being so raw and brutal is maybe better. Confused. Also....Is he going back home with her? (hide spoiler)]

I'm confused!

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

77% (view spoiler)[So he's mentioned going to rehab! It's a step in the right direction! (hide spoiler)] I keep wondering why they haven't (view spoiler)[staged an intervention by now but most people don't do that. We're dealing with family members with addictions and nobody wants to do anything that drastic...it's like it will make it all real. (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

74% end of Chapter 29.

I can't believe that just happened like that.

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

Are you talking about (view spoiler)[ the deflowering? I know...right? It's like WTF? (hide spoiler)]

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

78%....I just got blind sided for the first time. I did NOT see that coming. My jaw dropped. Literally. This is me...



(view spoiler)[Marry me? (hide spoiler)] Wait what?

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

78% Hold up! (view spoiler)[ Why is she asking him to ask her again when she's not giving him an answer? (hide spoiler)] Ugh!!!!!

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

80% (view spoiler)[ The night of sex they have when everybody is in LA (hide spoiler)] is seriously crazy. They are mental Kelly! Maybe it's me whose mental because I'm just now figuring this out :-/

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

82% Theory (view spoiler)[I think Petey and therefore probably Alice know about them. Even if he hasn't shared it with Alice, I definitely think Petey knows. It's crossed my mind before but I'm really think so now. By the way, he's at Petey's after his first day of school. (hide spoiler)]

Shannon The Show Stopper wrote: "Are you talking about [spoilers removed]"

Yes! And is it just me (view spoiler)[ thinking about how she didn't try even once to use a condom with either boy. Yeah she's on BC but I would definitely not trust a coked up kid to remember to use a condom every single time he's been with other "sluts" as she likes to call them. (hide spoiler)]

I didn't get as far as I wanted to yesterday because instead of reading at work I made a separate facebook for my author and book blog "likes". My newsfeed was being dominated by them lol but that 10% went by super fast. I see what you meant when you said you couldn't put it down!

Yeah, once I hit around 60% I've not been able to stay away for long. I can see why she trusted Garrett (view spoiler)[with no condom (hide spoiler)] but I'm not so sure about Dusty.

Good idea about the Facebook. I've just recently narrowed mine down some though. I spend so much time on social media and it cuts into reading. That's my Resolution next year....cut back on social media! lol

[Kelly]

82% after the bathroom (view spoiler)[ This is killing me. Why is she not making him stop??

I read your spoiler too soon but I definitely think Petey knows.. so Alice probably doestoo. I really thought that when she kept telling Bella it's ok to tell her who (hide spoiler)]

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

I kept thinking Alice thought it was Garrett but I've gotten the feeling before that Petey knows.

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

94% (view spoiler)[So Garrett thinks her bruises have come from Edward..not in a good way. He's just too sweet. They should have given him a bad trait. lol (hide spoiler)]

[Kelly]

oh girl, I wanna peek so bad! Just finished dinner and catching up on my latest addiction, Masterchef Jr, then I'm gonna hopefully, maybe, finish tonight!

I wish I could add this as three books towards my challenge lol I'm so far behind. I need to read some serial series soon to get back on track.

Girl, I'm actually crying! I'm almost finished and then waking my baby girl up and taking her trick or treating. This is only the second book that's made me cry this year.

[Kelly]

oh great, I'm a crier. This is going to be awful!

87% grocery store parking lot. My heart just broke. I'm screaming no!

[Shannon The Co-Captain]

Oh Kelly you are doomed if you're a crier. It's so raw.
