I mostly forget about Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language I learn years ago since I never use it now. And in some part they have similarity I used to mix them all together, lol. I had a Chinese grammar exam but I answered it with Japanese. I didn't even realize it before my teacher told me! :D

(view spoiler)[ I thought that whole thing was dodgy. as if she'd just accept some other woman as her mother? why wouldn't she remember what had happened? Would seeing her real mother not trigger her memories? I just thought that was ridiculous. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I mix up my french and spanish as well!

(view spoiler)[Yeah, agree and her reaction to her news is just...I don't know how to call it but there isn't any emotion in it, not even surprise. She just accept it *sigh* (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

(view spoiler)[ i know, it was like 'you're my mom! great! and the sheriff is going to be my new step-daddy? awesome!' I mean really? that was all she had to say?! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Sarah wrote: "I mix up my french and spanish as well!"

Hahaha, I thought it only happened to me! Remembering it now I can say that it was hilarious but at the time I was so embarrassed :D My teacher was like "Rachmi, what language do you think you learn now?"

[Sarah Elizabeth]

ha ha! that's quite rude! My spanish teacher used to swear at us in spanish because nobody knew what he was saying.

[Rachmi]

Sarah wrote: "[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Oh...I forgot about the sheriff. It's so convenience she has a soon-to-be step-daddy who also a sheriff who can cover what she did nine months ago, don't you think? :D (hide spoiler)]

That's exactly what my youngest sister does whenever she disagree with my parents and her sisters. She instantly speak German, though I don't understand her at all, I can tell that it's a curse word.

I didn't like that at all!! :'(

35%, chapter six - (view spoiler)[Okay, I am well and truly annoyed that this is becoming more and more like Home & Away. Braxston owns a bar/restaurant!? Of course he does because Braxston from H&A does too!! Annoyed.

Overall, this is just like every NA romance I have ever read. Dull. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachmi]

Rachel wrote: "35%, chapter six - Okay, ..."

Oh, another similarity? Maybe you should write it down and see how much it similar to H&A at the end of the book?

And agree with you, this book is quite dull and unrealistic to me.

Yeah, it was very similar which bugged me. It could easily have passed for a Home & Away episode. The brothers were soo much like the Braxston boys it wasn't even funny. I couldn't help picturing the Outlaws as them. :)

This seem like them?? :)

Hehe, I can guess it too and the weird thing is the way they handle it. This book has so much weird things that unbelievable and unrealistic.

So you've finished it?

[rachel, x]

Yeah, I read it today while at my granny's. I didn't think she seemed to effected by it all in the slightest.

Those boys are yummy :D the different is that the Outlaws are triplets so they have to look the same one to another.

I know right!? Swoon! Yeah, that's was the only major difference but the storyline is similar and other things.

You kidding!? Aha it has like thirty season, been going on and on for years now. They are alwayssss swapping actors and getting new characters etc. etc. Its a big Australian thing but its kind of one of those drama things. Like soap opera but wayyy better. Pretty unrealistic, fluffy nonsense but its addictive! :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It's a bit like Neighbours Rachmi, have you ever seen that? I haven't watched it in years but my mum still watches it. I think they need to remove the 'perfect' from the tital of this book. 'A Mess' fits it so much better.

Ahaha! I love that. Yes, that would have been more fitting. Did you read the blurb about the next one? Its about Verity and Boone and the next one is about River Pearl and Braxston.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yeah, I've got the second one already. I'm not desperate to read it after this though.

[Abi]

My nan and i both watch Neighbours and Home and away! aha.
My nan prefers Neighbours, but it's a bit boring. I love Home and away though. :)

Did you buy it or is it on Netgalley too?? :)

I haven't seen Neighbours before but I love Home & Away. Its kind of a guilty pleasure of mine since my mum thinks its "trash" and isn't keen on people watching it. But oh well, it great! I loved Dex and I cannot believe he's gone now... :(

[Abi]

My nan loves it, so i watch it with her. She likes home and away too, but that's my favorite out the two. :)

They show it over here 3 / 4 weeks after Australia.

Dex was hilarious! April annoyed me sometimes though.
(view spoiler)[ Brax going to jail.. :( And Ricki losing the baby ugh. :( I loved Ricki and Brax together, but Ricki and Nate are cute together too, so i want them to start dating, haha. (hide spoiler)]

I'm addicted to Australian programmes.
I loved watching Medical emergency (Which Roo from home and away voiced over!) but it's finished now. :(
And there's so many vet programmes on there! I love them.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yeah, its not on netgalley. In fact the first one isn't even on netgalley anymore, its been archived.

My mum stopped us from watching Neighbours when Gabby gave birth while we were eating our dinner one night. but that was a looooooooooong time ago.

Are you kidding me? :D thirty season? no way I'll watch it. I don't have that much patient to watch that long :D I'll pass it thank you, even when you love it Rachel :D

Haha! Not a nice thing to eat dinner too!

My nan used to watch them both when they both started. There's videos of me as a baby with it on the tv in the background.
She stopped watching Home and away for a while, but she left it on one night after neighbours because there was nothing on.
That was about a year and a half / 2 years ago now and we've watched it since.
I can't believe Alf is still on it! He's been there since the start.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Alf is still on it? yikes! I don't really remember it much, I think it lost popularity over here when it got switched to channel 5, which half the population couldn't even get!

[Abi]

Yep! Still using his ridiculous lines.

Coleen was still on it too, until about a year ago. She won some money and moved.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think Pippa was still in it the last time I saw it!

I absolutely looooved Dex. He was my favourite!! April could be a bit of a pain and I really don't like Sasha.

Oh wow! The wait must be annoying. Oh so you wouldn't know what happened this week! Oooh I'll just say that there are some exciting stuff coming up!!

Oh and I like Ricki too. (view spoiler)[I was so upset about Brax going to jail!! :( I don't really like Nate. He doesn't talk much!!

And how annoying is Johnny Ruffo's character!? I really don't like him. :/ (hide spoiler)]

Thank goodness! I didn't like Coleen at all. Alf really, really, really needs to retire. :/

Well, there aren't any season exactly. Its a continuous show that has played since 1988 so they are literally thousands of episodes.

Haha! Exciting stuff involving who? :)

(view spoiler)[ The bomb was awesome. Felt really sorry for Heath when Bianca was in a coma. :( (hide spoiler)]

Who's Johnny Ruffos character?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It's a soap ☺

Involving Heath, Bianca and a new character. Well, I don't know how far behind you are so I don't know if you know them but I am assuming if you are 4 weeks behind us you won't know about this. Oh and Kyle too. There is also some other of the normal drama stuff.

(view spoiler)[I know!! It was so intense. They made us wait for like three months for the show to come back on a see who died. I thought it was going to be Irene since she has been on the show forever but it was Ricky's baby.... (hide spoiler)]

Spencer's brother. Chris. He won our X-Factor. He is a singer (not very good one) so I don't know why he is acting... :/

Aha! Practically. Who even says those things in real life...!?

[Abi]

OOh, sounds interesting! Hopefully it's not a love triangle..

(view spoiler)[ They made you wait 3 months?! We just had to wait the weekend. We did have to wait about 2 months when things went down between Brax and Adam though, And it ended with Brax getting shot.
The twins dad died from the bomb too. (hide spoiler)]

Oh! Yeah, he's annoying. His voice is really annoying too. I didn't know he was a singer (or lack of one, haha)

[rachel, x]

You'll see... :)

(view spoiler)[What!? How is that fair!? :( The kind of did like a season ending thing there because the tennis thingy was one and they couldn't broadcast it. They teased on ads for weeks. Which Summer Bay favourite won't survive... Torture!

He's so annoying! Yuck. You should look him up. He's terrible. Nearly one X-Factor too!!
Oh yeah, forgot about that. I am not fond of the twins. (hide spoiler)]
