Pivot Point (Pivot Point #1) by Kasie West - Restarting November 7th 2022

[Tessa]

Description: "Knowing the outcome doesn’t always make a choice easier . . .

Addison Coleman’s life is one big “What if?” As a Searcher, whenever Addie is faced with a choice, she can look into the future and see both outcomes. It’s the ultimate insurance plan against disaster. Or so she thought. When Addie’s parents ambush her with the news of their divorce, she has to pick who she wants to live with—her father, who is leaving the paranormal compound to live among the “Norms,” or her mother, who is staying in the life Addie has always known. Addie loves her life just as it is, so her answer should be easy. One Search six weeks into the future proves it’s not.

In one potential future, Addie is adjusting to life outside the Compound as the new girl in a Norm high school where she meets Trevor, a cute, sensitive artist who understands her. In the other path, Addie is being pursued by the hottest guy in school—but she never wanted to be a quarterback’s girlfriend. When Addie’s father is asked to consult on a murder in the Compound, she’s unwittingly drawn into a dangerous game that threatens everything she holds dear. With love and loss in both lives, it all comes down to which reality she’s willing to live through . . . and who she can’t live without."

I'm reading this with Steph, but anyone is welcomed to join us :) .

[Steph]

I cant wait to read it!

[Tessa]

Hey Steph, I've started reading this. Finished the first 3 chapters. :)
So far it's a pretty easy read, I'm hoping it will get more complex in the next chapters. Also, she has to re-live all the splits she sees... that must be tiring...

[Steph]

Hello, Sorry i had a busy day yesterday and couldnt get the book started, but I will be starting soon. Sorry again..

[Tessa]

No worry, I'm still at ch 3. I was busy reading something else. I'll let you set the pace. Read as much as you like/want/can and I'll catch up to you tomorrow :) .

[Steph]

I just got to chapter 3. I will just read a couple more chapters before i quit for the day and get some work done around the house.

Its good so far. I was confused at first but i reread the description again. Im not sure i could handle having the ability seeing the future and reliving everything.
:)

[Steph]

I am almost done with this book. Its pretty good. It is weird though with how it goes back and forth. but i guess thats the point.

How do you like it?

[Tessa]

Wow, you're fast! I'm only at chapter 11. My enjoyment level right now is somewhere in between. I'm really curious how she'll adapt to her new life with the norms so all the switching to her other life is a little annoying.
I don't understand why both her love interests need to be football players. Really, athletes in books are overrated. They might look good, but they usually have small brains.

[Steph]

I had alot of free time yesterday so i just read the book.
I dont understand the whole football players as love interest either. Atleast Trevor is different, i seem to like him better than Duke.
I wonder what life she will choose. i guess we wont find out till the end.

[Tessa]

I don't think the end is going to be that simple. Her choosing a life and just going with it. She seems to have a lot on her hand right now.
Also, is it just me or (view spoiler)[the fact that Duke is the bad guy here is just plain obvious? I really want her to end up with Trevor even if the entire artist/football player is so far fetched. (hide spoiler)]

I'm at chapter 30. Will finish this book tomorrow.
So far the story is pretty average and a little predictable. Also, very simplistic in writing style, not un-enjoyable though. :)

[Steph]

I am totally wanting her to end up with Trevor. He seems like a good guy and his friend even said he has been better when she is around. So we will see. Ill have this book finished tomorrow.
Im going on a trip so ill have enough time to read during the car ride.
I may have to start the next book in the series after im done if you wanna join me on that one.

It's a very simple read. Wish it didnt go back and forth so much.

[Tessa]

"It's a very simple read. Wish it didnt go back and forth so much."
My feeling as well. Depending on the ending I might join you for the second book . :)

[Tessa]

Wow, I was not expecting that:
(view spoiler)[That she would be forced to choose the bad path. I felt so sorry for her. Poor Addie :( . I'm happy she's going to Dallas. There is still hope for her and Trevor. I must believe this XD (hide spoiler)]

All in all, it was a nice quick read. Nothing spectacular, but I did like it and want to read the second book with you. Whenever you are ready >.O.

[Steph]

Just finished! it was a good read. maybe she will get with trevor in the next book.

Im ready whenever you are.

[Tessa]

How about 8th of march for the second book?

[Steph]

Sounds good!

[onceuponatimeareview]

Thanks

[Marga]

I'll read this one on July 19th :)

[Marie]

I'm reading it on July 19th aswell :)

[Kate]

I'm joining! :)

[Kate]

Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[Poor Addie. I understand how she still holds on to that hope that her parents would be back together. Funny how she thinks that the way it happens to books and movies apply in real life. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachelle]

I'll join you guys tomorrow :)

[Kate]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[So Duke and Trevor are alike. It seems like whatever alternate reality she goes for, she's bound to be with one of the them. The question is who she would pick! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachelle]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[So far I like the fact that everyone in this world has a their own cool ability. Addison can basically look into the future and play different scenarios of her life when making a decision. That's so cool but it does take away the spontaneity and impulse of a moment. (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Just starting now.

[Rachelle]

Chapter 3-4 (view spoiler)[I love that you flip back from life from her mom and dad. It's cute how she's so naive and clueless about Duke lol! (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Chapter 1 - (view spoiler)[Woah. A persuasive mother and a lie detector father? Haha. And aw. They're divorcing. :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Chapter 2-3 - (view spoiler)[wow this premise is pretty unique. And I like the friendship between the girls. (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Rachelle wrote: "Chapter 3-4 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yeah. Gaah, i am hating Bobby. (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Chapter 9 - (view spoiler)[Wait. While being in a potential future, does she know what is also happening in the other potential future? Like with her dad, she read something about Poison. And then with her mom, she met Poison. OMG am I making sense?? (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Chapter 13 - (view spoiler)[OMG Duke is so cuute. IDK about Trevor yet. (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Chapter 16 - (view spoiler)[oooooh. Is Duke a bad guy? Are they really injuring those norm football players? (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

60% - (view spoiler)[I have a bad feeling about Duke now. I cannot believe he trusts Bobby! Maybe he has something to do with the injuries. (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Chapter 30 - (view spoiler)[Ahhhh I'm on Addie-Trevor ship now. Duke is a lying cow. (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Chapter 30 - (view spoiler)[Way to ruin a book for me. I despise cheating. Ugh and her bestfriend??? Really? (hide spoiler)]

[Kate]

Chapter 21
(view spoiler)[I think it would have been a smarter move just to tell Addie's parents about Poison. They don't even know who they're dealing with, plus Poison's ability which they've never heard of. Stay away from trouble kids! You make yourselves a vulnerable bunch by keeping this to yourselves! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 31
(view spoiler)[So it's true then that the Lincoln High football players are responsible for the injuries? I'm not sure if Duke is a part of it. And Laila! What is she doing at Duke's house???! (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Finished! - (view spoiler)[ Wow this was such an exhilarating book. Gah. I feel like i'm a crazy person because i just shout OMG everytime something happened. This was so intense!

I have questions though. So how did Addie chose to stay in the Compound if Laila Erase her memories about both paths? (hide spoiler)]

[Kate]

I was wondering about the same thing!! :) (view spoiler)[If she made her decision, they she would have known that she did a search. Or idk how it works. Haha. :)))

I enjoyed this book as well! Trevor! You are so awesome. I wish things will still work between you and Addie. There is hope afterall! (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Haha. Yeah! (view spoiler)[Trevor is such an awesome guy! When they meet again, they won't know anything about each other. :( (hide spoiler)]

[Marga]

Hey Kate! Are you planning to read the second book? Let's read it!

[Marie]

Chapter 9
(view spoiler)[ I think something is going to happen that includes poison (like he murders someone or robs a shop/bank or something)
I like how everyone has their own power but I wouldn't fancy having the power she has. I wouldn't like to know what happens if I make one choice compared to the other, it would take away the surprise of it.
So far I like the idea that she stays with her mum the best because of duke but I prefer her dad. I think he is nicer (hide spoiler)]

[Rachelle]

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ Aww I can't help but fall in love with Duke in every chapter he's in :) Thank goodness she's starting to go weak in the knees for him! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachelle]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[Oh this is getting so good! Maybe Duke will see Addie again at the game <3 (hide spoiler)]

[Rachelle]

Chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ I really hope Duke isn't a part of hurting Trevor and other players. I'm starting to fall in love with Trevor and his Brody <3 (hide spoiler)]
