[rachel, x]

30% - (view spoiler)[That last 10% was pretty dull. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

[Jalyn]

15% (view spoiler)[ It's very cute so far. I like how they went their separate ways, but he came back after her. This looks like it's going to be a very cute read :) (hide spoiler)]

Thanks!!

I am hoping to really enjoy this one. I am so far so hoping that keeps up. I'm going to try and finish it tonight. :)

Jalyn wrote: "15% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I like that too. It so realistic which is great!! (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

55% - (view spoiler)[Cute, but a little dull. I'll admit I'm a little bored. :( (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

61% - (view spoiler)[Okay, now my interest is really waning. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

66% - (view spoiler)[That was just stupid! But I agree, Paisley is a stupid name. :) (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

73% - (view spoiler)[I don't like how everything is kind of glossed over. It feels incomplete. And there isn't really that much chemistry between Owen and Lucy. I am not really enjoyed this, I'm bored. :( (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

84% - (view spoiler)[I am so disappointed that this just crashed. It was so good at the start and now I am just eager for it to be over! This is just dull. Not really enjoying it anymore at all. (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

100% - (view spoiler)[In the end, this wasn't great. Too dull and underdeveloped. A really disappointing romance. Not up to the standards of her other books. :( (hide spoiler)]

[Jalyn]

Oh no, you only gave it 3 stars? I haven't made much progress. I should have waited to start Graduation Day, but I didn't so that's what I've been spending my free moments reading. I haven't had much free time for the past couple days though, so I haven't read much of anything :(

Yeah, the first part was good but then it just flopped and was really dull. Don't ship these characters which made it worse.

Don't worry about it. I just had exam week at school so I was behind too. :)

[Jalyn]

41% (view spoiler)[ They're both moving? What? But they've just meet and only spent the one day together! :( (hide spoiler)]

[Jalyn]

Rachel wrote: "Jalyn wrote: "Oh no, you only gave it 3 stars? I haven't made much progress. I should have waited to start Graduation Day, but I didn't so that's what I've been spending my free moments reading. I ..."

I'm starting to see why you rated it as such. The beginning was so promising, but I'm disappointed with where it seems to be heading now.

[Jalyn]

55% (view spoiler)[ This is seriously bumming me out. What's the point of all of this? They're both interested in other people (more Owen than Lucy), but still into each other too, even though they can't be together. It's depressing (hide spoiler)]

[Jalyn]

66% (view spoiler)[I can't take this. It's driving me nuts (hide spoiler)]

[Jalyn]

73% (view spoiler)[Ok so correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Julius Caesar didn't live "hundreds of thousands of years ago." (hide spoiler)]

[Jalyn]

I finally finished it. I think I'll go with 3 stars too. (view spoiler)[The middle seriously dragged, but the beginning was cute and at least they saw each other at the end and planned on meeting again. I wish there wouldn't have been such an open ending. I would have liked it better if it would have ended with her going to his college or something like that. I hate when a book finishes and the future of the characters isn't certain. It drives me crazy. I need good closure! (hide spoiler)]

Exactly! It started really promising but then it just got worse and worse.

[rachel, x]

Jalyn wrote: "55% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[It did feel rather pointless. They like other people but then they have this thing that isn't really a thing... it was weird! (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Jalyn wrote: "73% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[He was only born in 100 BC. Well, to my knowledge, I think he was! :) (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Jalyn wrote: "I finally finished it. I think I'll go with 3 stars too. [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I liked the beginning too and completely agree that the middle was a flop.

In some books an open ending works but I agree, that this one that didn't. We spent all that time seeing them live separately but wanting to be together. We need to know how it all ends!! (hide spoiler)]

[Jalyn]

Rachel wrote: "73% - [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ You're right, there really wasn't much chemistry between Owen and Lucy. I felt it at the beginning, but they just seemed awkward in San Francisco. Most of the rest was just them telling us that they thought of each other. I didn't feel it, I was just told it. (hide spoiler)]

[Jalyn]

Rachel wrote: "84% - [spoilers removed]"

I think I was ready for it to be over around half way through. This had so much potential! I wish the story would have went in a different direction after that first night.

[rachel, x]

Jalyn wrote: "Rachel wrote: "73% - [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[My problem exactly! They weren't really very affectionate either. If they hadn't told us they liked each other then I never would have bought it. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, the whole (view spoiler)[moving part. (hide spoiler)] ruined it.

[Katie]

I'd really like to join whoever is reading on May 12 for this one. Just read another book by her and loved it!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

You're quite welcome ☺

[Katie]

Sarah wrote: "You're quite welcome ☺"

Thank you! I'll definitely be back for it.

[Emily]

I'm a little behind - as per - will start this tomorrow, as soon as I finish

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm behind too. Been decorating.

[Emily]

Okay I started this today!
Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ I have a feeling this is going to be kinda a slow book, but in the good sort of way. I really liked the whole power cut thing... not that it made sense but I liked it. ALTHOUGH I would have given up and made up camp in the lobby! No way I'd be climbing up to the 24th floor!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think I just finished chapter 2, but it's hard to tell because the kindle ARC doesn't have chapters!
(view spoiler)[ the start was pretty good, it will be interesting to see what happens next. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Rachel wrote: "Sorry, I've started now!! :)

10% - [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[that's exactly what I was thinking which is slightly worrying because I know you weren't the biggest fan of this one! (hide spoiler)]

[Katie]

I just finished chapter one!

(view spoiler)[ I also loved the way we get right to the story. I like the pacing too, though. It was slow enough to give detail but not so slow that I was waiting for the elevator time to end.

I am wondering about the long-distance aspect though. I knew there was one but am not seeing it so far, unless he moves back away from New York again? (hide spoiler)]

[Emily]

I looked and i'm on 34%. I'll do it in %'s so we know were we are and no spoilers are given accidentally :)

(view spoiler)[ These two are so freaking cute together. I really liked how the wrote exactly the same thing on the postcards. I'm a little worried about Owen's dad, like he may be sick or something, but I guess we'll see. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

15% (view spoiler)[ so they went out to get supplies, but never thought to get food? That's a bit short sighted. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

31% (view spoiler)[ she's got to fly to london to meet them? that's a little selfish of them! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Rachel wrote: "30% - [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I agree. not much interesting in that bit. (hide spoiler)]

[Emily]

Sarah wrote: "31% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I'm not loving her parents! They're seeming like the rich stereotype at the moment. (hide spoiler)]
