Finished - (view spoiler)[ Squeeeeeee!! :) What a lovely ending! (hide spoiler)]

Martha wrote: "Finished - [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I really liked the ending too! :) I would have liked it to be a bit more concrete though, and show us that they were actually together. (hide spoiler)]

I thought that too.

(view spoiler)[ Yes, same! I guess I just wanted to witness the happily ever after. But I like to think that they definitely got together and I'm glad for that. Definitely fell in love with Orion reading this! :) (hide spoiler)]

[Martha]

I really don't know what to rate this! Torn between a 4 and 5 :)

[Mei]

I'm glad you all liked this!

End of Chapter 15 - (view spoiler)[I'm kind of have a short memory. Lol. Who was Josh before we knew he is actually Orion? I forgot!

The mystery of this book is getting me hooked! I'm really frustrated with how Julianna ended things, and how Orion let it go without arguments! Ugh :(

I'm excited to know what really happened with their death, if it'll be mentioned, and what will Parker do with Julianna's journal now that she's done reading.

(view spoiler)[ We knew Josh as either the owner of the coffee shop, or a worker there. I think he owns it. He was the guy that Kat noted seemed a bit depressed. I'm a bit rubbish for memory too :P
I know! I wanted them to just work it out! (hide spoiler)]

[Mei]

Chapter 20 - (view spoiler)[It's hard basing your life from people's expectations, specially if it's your mom. Parker's mom is so controlling!
(hide spoiler)]

[Mei]

I finished and it's like I have a book hangover. I couldn't start , yet, haha! I loved this book. It helped my get out of my slump. :) I just wish the author added more scenes (view spoiler)[of Trevor and Parker, and of Josh and Julianna, so we really know they are all working it out. It's not enough that we know they are. I also wanted to see HOW do they all do it. I also wanted to know Orion more and see Parker's mom have a bit more development. But maybe that's what happens if you love the book, you just wish for more, haha!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

(view spoiler)[ yeah, that was a shame, its nice when you actually see the happily ever after. (hide spoiler)]

[Martha]

Totally agree with you guys!

[Kate]

Yay! I'm excited to read this!

[Inês]

So am I! :)

[Tessa]

I think I'll join you guys. I have this on on-hold for a while. Need to finally decide if I'll read it or not. XD

[Kate]

Will start to read later this evening. Got a lot of chores to finish :(

[Inês]

Same :)

[Inês]

46% This is great so far! I love the way Jessi Kerby writes! I've read In honor by her, and it was an amazing book, and this one is just as great so far :)

(view spoiler)[ Just finished Julianna's journal! I can't believe Josh is Orion. I'm so curious to know what really happened the night Julianna and Shane disappeared. It's all so strange! I would love if it would were to figure out that Julianna is still alive... (hide spoiler)]

[Inês]

70% (view spoiler)[ I knew it! Julianna is alive! God I love Trevor! When is Parker going to do anything about him?! (hide spoiler)]

[Inês]

Chapter 33 (view spoiler)[ Parker's speech was really great. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Was 'in honor' good? I've only read this one so far. (view spoiler)[ I was kind-of surprised that Josh was Orion as well! (hide spoiler)]

[Inês]

I gave it 5 stars :) it's really amazing, I'm pretty sure I even cried a bit while reading it. (It's been a while, I think I might re-read it sometime)

[Kate]

I haven't got so much into the book yet :( I've been asked to do impromptu babysitting so yeah :( However, I like the cover of this book. It's my first time to read a Jessi Kirby book! :)

[Inês]

It's okay, take your time :) Oh babysitting, not my favorite activity, blame my parents for only giving me older brothers XD Or well, giving them a younger sister. Good luck! :) I don't mind waiting to discuss it. She's a great writer :)

[Kate]

Thanks. I don't really babysit but they really needed someone and I was just the one available.

Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[If I be the one getting the journal, I might actually find it hard to resist not reading it! :p (hide spoiler)]

[Kate]

Chapter 11

(view spoiler)[I totally feel sad for Julianna having to choose between what she wants, and what is expected of her. I guess it is not really a luxury to be an heir's girlfriend. :p (hide spoiler)]

[Kate]

Chapter 30

I'm taking my time reading because it feels a lot to digest the words Kirby wrote. (view spoiler)[The truth on what happened that night is so sad. It really is a tragedy how things have ended that's why Julianna chose the easier way out which is to run away (hide spoiler)]

[Kate]

Just finished!

@Ines: I agree, she gave a great speech! It was kind of a payback for her mom deciding for her!

I loved it! (view spoiler)[Who thought Josh and Julianna would still end up with each other! Talk about fate! (hide spoiler)]

I know what you mean. I think she's a really good writer :)
(view spoiler)[ It was so sad when Julianna was telling her story, I felt bad for Shane. But at least Josh and Julianna end up together!
The only thing I would have liked more was a little more information on Parker and Trevor's relationship, in the end. (hide spoiler)]
