[Katie]

Trisha, Nicole and I will be reading this. Anyone else may join.

[Nicole - Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die-]

This sounds really good and I'm excited

[Katie]

5 chapters

Hank (view spoiler)[He seems like a good guy so far. Though the incident with the sparklers definitely wasn't good. (hide spoiler)]

Peyton (view spoiler)[I wonder what her whole story is. The thing with the Barbies was pretty weird. (hide spoiler)]

Monica (view spoiler)[I like how she is able to give advice to Hank, since it makes her less stereotypical. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm starting soon!!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Darn it!!! I guess I lied Katie.
I know I had this book in my pile to take with me on vacation - but now I don't see it.

I had to take motion sickness medicine today (which makes me really drowsy and out of it) so I'll check again in the morning and see if I"m just missing it

but otherwise, I might have to start when i get home :< I'm so sorry..... Fingers crossed I'm just missing it because I'm so out of it.....

[Katie]

10 chapters

Amanda (view spoiler)[The whole thing with her and the website to try to find the guy is interesting. I don't think she and Hank are necessarily a good match though. (hide spoiler)]

Peyton (view spoiler)[I'm glad that she forgave Hank after he said those things about her to Amanda. (hide spoiler)]

Nick (view spoiler)[I like him so far. I wonder what the story with his dad really is and why they are so many rumors about him. (hide spoiler)]

[Katie]

15 chapters

Peyton (view spoiler)[So she was in a psychiatric hospital. Her whole issues with fire don't seem very good. It seems like risky behavior. (hide spoiler)]

Hank (view spoiler)[I can see why he blames himself for the accident. It must be awful to have to live with that kind of guilt. (hide spoiler)]

Hank's dad (view spoiler)[Wow, he can really be a jerk sometimes when he's drinking. (hide spoiler)]

[Katie]

I finished this book, and I really liked it.

Hank (view spoiler)[I'm glad he got into that art school and will hopefully have a successful future. (hide spoiler)]

Peyton (view spoiler)[I was surprised to find out that she really beat herself up, but I'm glad she was dealing with her issues at the end of the book. And it was helpful, I think, for her to get away from her mom. (hide spoiler)]

Hank's dad (view spoiler)[I'm glad he got back together with Monica since he seems to be better with her. And I'm glad that it looks like he really does care about Hank now. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm home! A DAY EARLY! WOOHOO!!

I'll start tonight now that I'm home!! Glad to see you liked it! 4 stars sounds like this one is good!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm 5 chapters

Hank (view spoiler)[ lol poor kid. if only he had someone he was comfortable enough to share his ideas with. they could steer him away from some of the bad ones (hide spoiler)]

Peyton (view spoiler)[ I wonder what's up with mom's boyfriend. I hope she's okay
I like that she is giving him fresh eyes when looking at his life. she does have it rough (hide spoiler)]

Amanda(view spoiler)[ ha! I love how she spun the story
although she must be pretty - otherwise I don't know what he'd see in her (hide spoiler)]

Monica (view spoiler)[ I like that she's sweet too
but she does know about men - I don't think she should put him in uncomfortable situations - like showering with the door open or hugging when you're only in a towel.... (hide spoiler)]

10 chapters

OMG flinging that meatloaf was HILARIOUS! lol

Amanda(view spoiler)[ I know, it's pretty funny....I don't think they are necessarily a good match either (hide spoiler)]

Peyton(view spoiler)[ I agree, I'm glad she heard what he said to her (to the garbage can) but I'm also worried that part of her forgiveness was also because she heard his dad berate him and belittle him
that was awful. his dad....drunk and threatening to hit him?! Ugh. awful (hide spoiler)]

Nick(view spoiler)[ I like him too - but I, too, wonder about all the rumors. Where are they from? (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

15 chapters

Peyton(view spoiler)[ Yeah, I wasn't too surprised. I wondered if she'd had something happen with the fire. I'm so sad that it is probably why she doesn't see her dad anymore (since Dad and stepmom were the ones who sent her to the hospital)
but that was a HUGE present - worth some major money - Hi hope this doesn't turn around to hurt her (hide spoiler)]

Hank's Dad(view spoiler)[ Yeah, that guy is pretty bad. I wish he'd talk to him. (hide spoiler)]

Hank(view spoiler)[ his confession was so so so sad and Yeah, how tough - I can't imagine how awful that must be. I'd feel so so guilty too - but Peyton's right - it was an accident. and he was just a kid - he had no idea how it would all play out (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

yay I'm done!!
this one was so good!!

Hank(view spoiler)[ that was scary but I'm glad he was able to confirm Peyton didn't set the fire purposely....
and I'm glad he got Peyton away from her house
I'm glad Hank got into that school too - that Peyton showed him the possibility and he took it from there. he really deserves the shot (hide spoiler)]

Peyton(view spoiler)[ I'm so glad she's getting help too. I'm so so sad that she didn't already get it
I'm glad Monica was there for her when she needed someone to be (hide spoiler)]

dad(view spoiler)[ I'm glad he's getting cleaned up and trying again. I'm glad Monica is not perfect either and they are working on themselves (hide spoiler)]

[Katie]

I'm glad that you really liked this one too, Trisha.
