Kathy, HECK NO!!! I never did want (view spoiler)[ Emma to get with Jonathan, but I was afraid it was going there. I thought he MIGHT end up being a good guy. At least I was hoping so. I was an Evan fan all the way!! LOL (hide spoiler)]

Emma's mom: (view spoiler)[ I loved it when you said she belonged in a psych ward...so true! She was something else! (hide spoiler)]

Ok!! I was worried for a mintute there! lol!!!
Jonathan (view spoiler)[ Do you think he set the fire to his house and he didn't know his mother and brother were in there? And he just meant for his dad to be killed? There is definitely something off about him! He seems nice enough but every time Emma wants to call him to talk to him and espcially when she got on the bike, I shake my head and say nononononono! lol! I don't like him! He makes my skin crawl! (hide spoiler)]

Emma (view spoiler)[ I feel so bad for her! But I am glad she doesn't have to worry about school and her future. That is such a relief! I'm glad she stood up to her mom though! Finally! But I think she went just a little far saying her dad didn't love Rachel. I just think it might or did caused more problems and I'm afraid of the fall-out! And YES! Why would a mother now want her child to call her mom??!!?? OMG! She is so awful! (hide spoiler)]

Evan (view spoiler)[ He is too sweet! So patient and generous! I'm glad he is going to Stanford! Yay for him! And I agree with what he said when he told Emma that his dad raised him to be the person he is and he needs to let it go and let Evan be that person! (hide spoiler)]

Stuart (view spoiler)[ I have a theory about him. In Emma's memory of the day her father died, she remembered a familiar looking man and Sharon said something the night of Rachel's B-Day party about she was surprised Evan hadn't graduated school yet and also commented on Emma and Evan now being together, like she couldn't believe it or something? Emma's dad was a wealthy man so it's easy to suggest that he would run in the same social circles and Evan's parents, right? I think they knew each other some how or other, maybe worked together? I don't know, but I hate him! And I'm so scared he going to try something to get her to break up with him! And I have a feeling that he wants Analise and Evan to go out. Hate her too BTW! She needs to back off Emma's man! (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

I'm not a bad guy kind of girl! Lol

[Vicki]

Btw I can't read spoilers right now. Ugh lol

[Vicki]

Analise: (view spoiler)[ I SOOOO hated her, but I can't say much more because I don't want to spoil anything for you! She wasn't nice in any way that I can recall, and she sure loved rubbing it in Emma's face. (hide spoiler)]

Stuart: I hadn't thought of that, but it's certainly a viable prediction. Again, I can't say! LOL

[Kathy]

I am a bad guy kind of girl! Only he gives me the creeps!! *shudder*

I have about 60 pages left!! But I don't want to read them while I'm out at work and then I have to go straight to my kids school to pick them up. They have a band concert tonight so when we get home we have to eat as soon as we walk in the door and leave again! lol!!

UGH! I want to finish! I will finish when I get home tonight! lol!! :D

[Vicki]

It's such a good book, don't you think? I'm ready for the next one. LOL

[Kathy]

I'm done!

OMG! I'm so sick over that ending and Epilogue! I was so scared that Jonathan was going to do exactly what he did! I was in tears! So scared for Emma and Evan!

Why???? Why Emma! I don't even know what to say about what she did! And how angry she was! Yes! She had a right to be furious with Rachel and Jonathan, but to talk to them the way she did? I think she went way too far! I was so surprised by that!

Analise is a stupid B!!! Hate her!

Yeah, Rachel was really bad! But I think she had some medical issues and not just being an alcolholic and an addict! There was something seriously wrong with her and if she came back at least trying and I mean really trying!!! Then I think I would be okay with it, but I doubt it! I just don't know if she has it in her. So sad!

I hope Jonathan doesn't come for her again, that was so bad what she said to him. I just feel like just because he hurt people doesn't give Emma the excuse to treat people that way, but that is what abuse does to people. It makes them mean and impulsive. Really sad!

Can't wait to read the next one!

[Vicki]

I know! The ending really shocked me too! Have you read my spoilers as you've gone along?

Can we schedule book 3 for early April, like April 1 or 2?

[Kathy]

Yeah, I did. I was so tired when I finally finished last night! That's why I didn't bother with spoiler tags! lol!!

I forgot to say though that Jonathan trying to say that just because Rachel wasn't a good mother to Emma and him using that as an excuse to make it ok to want to be with Emma is so many kinds of wrong I don't even know where to begin!

And it didn't even seem to bother Emma either! That is so gross! He slept with her and she SAW them!! Yuck! lol!

We have book 3 already scheduled on March 23, but if you want to move it I'm good with that! We could April 1st.

[Vicki]

Hahaha! I'm such a LOSER when it comes to remembering stuff. I'm good with March 23 unless you aren't. I had forgotten to put it in my phone. I try SOOOOOOOOOOO hard to be on top of BR's. LOL

[Kathy]

lol!! No you're not! I good with that date too!
I can stay on top of them as far as the date but when it comes to reading? That is where I fail! lol!! :D
