Join Gisbelle and I as we read this book.

[Gisbelle]

I'm super excited to read this book. It looks like it's going to be a great read :D

[Emma]

It really does :)

[Vicki]

Hmmmm, fewer than 100 ratings? I'll read it but with the Fully Loaded Challenge, no room this month.

Hope you both love it!

[Gisbelle]

thanks :)

[Emma]

@Vicki, it's not actually out yet, so hopefully more ratings then, hope you enjoy it when you do read it :)

[Vicki]

Thanks, Emma. That comment about the fewer than 100 is because I've been looking for a book for the Fully Loaded Challenge for fewer than 100 reviews.

[Emma]

Ah okay, if it has more than 100 ratings by then, I know of plenty that have fewer so just ask :) Like only has 18 ratings, it's quite a good, shame it doesn't seem to have the following it deserves

[Vicki]

I love a good mystery/thriller. Thanks! :o)

[Emma]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ Really good so far, different from what I thought it would be. Looking forward to see what happens. Shame that Olivia's Gran cannot remember who she really is. (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ I agree. I really enjoy reading this book a lot even it's just chapter one and it's early to say if it's going to be a great book, I can tell I will like it. The writing is brilliant and I love the characters. I also love Olivia's friendship with her best friend.

Olivia sounds a little depressed though. I hope she is not going to commit a suicide like her mother did. (hide spoiler)]

[Emma]

(view spoiler)[ I hope not too, at first I thought the title was metaphorical but soon realised it's not. From the very beginning, it sounds more like her friend Jesse? is going to be the one to drown, but not sure. (hide spoiler)]

I'll get to chapter 2 later today.

[Gisbelle]

(view spoiler)[I thought I was the only one of the 2 of us who didn't remember his name. I had to check and his name is Jamie :)

He seems like a sweetheart. To bad he has an abusive father. (hide spoiler)]

Just starting chapter 2.

[Gisbelle]

Chapter 2

Olivia (view spoiler)[ I didn't like that she went cliff diving just to feel closer to her mother. (hide spoiler)]

Jamie & Maggie (view spoiler)[what a great friend they are! Always trying to protect Olivia. (hide spoiler)]

[Emma]

I knew his name started with J just couldn't get there, thanks :)

[Gisbelle]

Same here :D

[Emma]

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ No it's a strange thing, but then people visit where their parents died, usually it isn't dangerous, you think the edge of the cliff would be enough? Do you think it's goign to turn out that it wasn't suicide?
Yep Jamie and Maggie seem good friends. I hope Olivia is as ice back to them. I am not sure what to make of Max yet. (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

(view spoiler)[ yes, Max is so far a wildcard. Jamie and Maggie don't seem to like him, so I think there must be something more wrong with him than that he used to drink and drive.

Yes, i think so. Some people need closure when it comes to the death of their loved one. Her mother did sound vibrant and cheerful to be suicidal, though. Anything is possible at this point. (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

I think i'll read chapter 3 tomorrow. Gotta finish another book first:)

[Emma]

Have you read any more of this? I have gotten totally side-tracked witht hte fully loaded challenge, still trying to finish the 4th book for it, hoping to catch up soon. Will try and a chapter of this sometime soon :)

[Emma]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ so we finally meet her dad, he doesn't seem to care that much. Only really about that his daughter doesn't turn out like her mum. (hide spoiler)]

[Gisbelle]

Sorry I wasn't around to post. I just finished the book.

chapter 3 (view spoiler)[Her dad sounded like a nice guy. Just a little too hung up on her mother to the point that seemed a bit like he obsessed with her rather than loved her. (hide spoiler)]
