Epic Fail by Claire LaZebnik → Start Date: January 6, 2016

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

Feel free to join Trisha and I as we read this.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm going to start this one after I finish Slip (hopefully tomorrow or later tonight!)

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

That's my plan too.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

okay, really hoping to start this one tomorrow!

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

Me too. I'm just trying to finish up another book first.

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I'm up to Chapter 6.


(view spoiler)[So far I'm not that impressed with Elise or Derek. Their personalities are so unlikable. It would suck to have stricter parents than everyone else. Just like I'm sure if his parents weren't so famous people would actually like him for him. (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I'm up to Chapter 14.


(view spoiler)[Some of these people in this book really irritate me. I can't even imagine having such strict parents. I really actually thought that Chase sent those messages. I'm glad to know that he didn't. Webster is such a jerk. Hopefully we won't have to deal with him too much more. (hide spoiler)]

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I'm done. At first I really wasn't liking this but as it went along it got a lot better.


(view spoiler)[It was nice that everything worked out for Elise and Derek. Also, for Jules and Chase. Too bad they had to got through a lot of drama to get there. Webster was an absolute creep so I'm glad that she came to her senses about that. I really just could never like their younger sister Layla. She was just a real piece of work. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

WOW, I didn't expect this to be a Pride and Prejudice re-telling! I'm so bad about reading blurb's that I didn't even see the little tell in it!

So...now I already know the story ! LOL

6 chapters

Elise (Elizabeth)(view spoiler)[ of course we know she doesn't know the whole story about Georgia (Georgiana)! and she's trusting the wrong guy. I wonder if that argument is the reason Derek will get Chase to leave her older sister alone (hide spoiler)]

Layla (lydia) (view spoiler)[ Yikes ,you can actually see her slipping into making bad decisions (hide spoiler)]

Grant Webster(view spoiler)[ at first, with the cousin joke, I thought he might be the really annoying cousin but no....he's definitely Mr. Wickham. he seems like a cad - as soon as they started talking, he kept making fun of everyone. I was kind of sad she went a long with it (hide spoiler)]

the mom and dad(view spoiler)[ I love how ridiculous they are! LOL the Mom as the principal!? Did you cringe when she brought out the tape measure! ha! so funny! (hide spoiler)]

this is actually a pretty well done remake - trying to update it. it's cute, I like it so far!

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I didn't know either that it was a retelling until after I started it.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

14 chapters

Webster(view spoiler)[ so it's strayed from the storyline...except NOW he's sick
and wasn't Layla sick? In the book, Layla is the one that runs off with Webster, not the friend (hide spoiler)]

mom and dad(view spoiler)[ yeah, they are strict
but that's part of their ridiculousness. They are supposed to be over the top (hide spoiler)]

Chelsea(view spoiler)[ what a jerk
but of course I knew she broke them up (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

and I'm done!!

this one was adorable. I loved the reimagining of Pride and prejudice and even the interesting slants the author took

the mom, dad and Layla. (view spoiler)[ ugh, they were AWFUL (hide spoiler)]
