So I am sick right now, so I should finish the book I'm reading today and start on this later tonight or tomorrow for sure.

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

Your sick too! Girl I've been sick since Sept 18th! I don't know where this bad boy came from but let me tell you I'm totally over being sick as a dog. And now I'm at work.... So I'll start reading this over my lunch break. =)

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

That's horrible, I hope you both feel better soon.

I'll be starting this one on my lunch today :D

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

What time zones are y'all in?

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

I'm on Pacific Time, making it just before 9 am here.

[[deleted user]]

Eastern and I think I'm around 20% and so far meeeeh. (view spoiler)[ I think I'm too into war stories because this one didn't sound personal enough. i mean he lost a leg and a bunch of friends in like one chapter. and I didn't like how lauren already made him jealous in the first few pages. nor the fact that he's just letting random people--loads of people--suck his dick. (hide spoiler)]

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

You already have a spoiler.... Ugh. So tempting.

I'm under Pacific time. Blehhhhh

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

*snickers*

Kat is always ahead of me :P... I'm really hoping that spoiler is 1) that the army theme is stereotyped or 2) that his disability is treated poorly.

[[deleted user]]

I won't go too far, but yes karly you are very close to that mark at least as far as I've seen but it could change. still in the beginning stages

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

*head desks*

Hopefully that changes.

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

Head desks? More like *bangs head on desk*

Lol. I hope it changes too. I'm a military brat sooooo... this should be interesting.

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

12% Ummmmmmm (view spoiler)[ are you fucking kidding me?? Brother Ben was killed in 9/11 so now Mack is all: I have to save Umerica from terrorists.... *hates* *so much HATES* Turning so many peoples' lives into a fucking cliché.... *death by grumbles* (hide spoiler)]

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

I apparently need to get my head in this ASAFP. I'm so behinddddd. haha.

Glad you mentioned that because my goodness was it such (view spoiler)[a cop out. And I love how he's automatically shaming her for not understanding. And btw his brother is barely mentioned again. Although I did stop at 20% for today. I'm just eager to get to the baby bit (hide spoiler)]

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

(view spoiler)[Seriously! What the fuck, buddy.... of course she doesn't understand. You didn't TELL HER. Ugh. I am eager for surprise baby bit, though.

You know how much I loooooove real life trauma being used as plot devices for poor behaviour.... right?! Right. (hide spoiler)]

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

Sorry, needed to rant. Cause OMFG. -.-

(view spoiler)[Well jesus. Get to where I'm at and there's going to be a lot of W.T.F. moments. Though at least Mack's character (other than his womanizing holy-golden-mackdaddy-cock ways) is at least some of what I know to be PTSD with those flashbacks.

But I'm still trying to figure out how in THE FUCK a 9 year old fucking kid that talks smack like a 16 year old GETS ARRESTED and taken to the police station. How TF did that kid get like that in the span of a year?! WHO WERE THOSE KIDS HE HUNG OUT WITH? GD HIGH SCHOOLERS!?!?!

Oh and when he finds out about his kid, yeah that was a horrible way to ask her about it. (hide spoiler)]


More like this book is exhausting me.

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

Ummmmm 33% (view spoiler)[were either of you kind of surprised when you realized that Lauren must be black?? I had thought she was Asian or possibly Greek before the very blunt would my son be in jail right now if he weren't black thought.... Not that I mind or anything, I just found the inconsistency odd (hide spoiler)]

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

(view spoiler)[RIGHT!? That threw me off so much. I was like... uhhhhhh, when did this happen? I don't remember seeing much of anything really describing her as such? Maybe with all the booty shaking in the beginning and the way she talked? ...... nah. This feels like it was done last minute by the author? But seriously, what did you think of her kid? I cannot get my head around that part with him taken by police, and with what he did?! ---- whaaaaat? (hide spoiler)]

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

I'm still in limbo on that.... I'm hoping it will be represented better as I move through the story further. I stopped at 34% last night.

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

Yuuuuuuuup. With you 100%, m'dear.

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

yeah... it hasn't gotten better yet. I am finding myself skimming...

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

Ugh. Sorry.

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

Tis alright.

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

46% (view spoiler)[Okay seriously.... your little shit of a son vandalizes a convenience store, destroying a window in the process. And instead of punishing him, you let his unbeknownst-to-him father take him to a football game????? How is that teaching him accountability??? Newsflash, it isn't. (hide spoiler)]

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

Girrrrrrrl. Lol (view spoiler)[That right there pissed me off to no end. Lauren isn't my favorite character at all. I like her sister better in all honesty. (hide spoiler)]

I've just finished the book.

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

I just saw that you finished it. I'll, hopefully, be finishing up tonight.

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

=) I'm thinking about my review right now. bleh

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

Well. My review is done.
My Review
I think I went on a tangent. Lol.

[[deleted user]]

Oh fuuuuck. I'm so behind. blame my sickness I haven't read anything all day

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

Kat Stark wrote: "Oh fuuuuck. I'm so behind. blame my sickness I haven't read anything all day"

It's alright. I read while... *coughworkingcough*. I cheated. And skimmed though some of it. LOL

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

No worries, lady!! It's your birthday :)... Also, I hope you feel better soon!

[[deleted user]]

59% I hate it.

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

Right!?

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

I did not finish last night... I watched 'Bones' instead.

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

I was watching Cartoon Network and writing my review instead of reading Six of Crows again. Lol

[[deleted user]]

Okay well no, I didn't have one fucking clue she was AA because she didn't mention it until her son was arrested and in turn she brought up the race factor (which is a terrible introduction to that imo). And Cherry bombs, how the fuck does a 9 year old know how to make one and who are his friends?! How come she hasn't talked with their parents?! He got like zero punishment.

She is a disgrace to moms. I'm sorry, I'll be fucking blunt. It's people like this who let their kids do whatever the fuck they want is the trouble with my kid interacting with theirs and thinking they can do the same thing.

And the sex scenes are boring. I'm bored. Where is the story? I mean I thought it would be crazy when she revealed the truth, but it turns out he figured it out for himself and to discuss it right after sex. Like literally 2 seconds after full on sex mode.

PUHLEEZE JUST STALP.

I'm gonna give it a chapter or two but then I'mma just dnf if there isn't another problem arisen and you can spoil me for the ending.

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

OMG you just seriously just put all my thoughts about this book smack dab right there! I couldn't have better myself! AND YES I KNOWWWW!

The ending was stupid as fuck. (don't read if you want to be spoiled with the end.) (view spoiler)[He got help for his PTSD and ended up re-proposing at the golf club they had their prom at (including all the ballons and shit) and he LE GASP danced with her and asked her to marry him again. And they had 69 outside in the dark at their wedding. That's it. The end. (hide spoiler)]

Seriously was stupid as hell. I only like Chelsea and ugh what's Mack's friends name? Lol

[[deleted user]]

YEAAAAAAAH. I'm dnfing I see this going no wheres and I promised myself recently that I wouldn't be afraid to dnf anymore, because honestly it makes me hate reading sometimes and I really don't like that feeling. Good thing it's a buddyread and you can spoil me Jenn.

BAHAHHAHAHA. You know it didn't even show much of the PTSD. I think if you pull all the events of it happening together it would probably be two pages.

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

No problem! I really had to push myself to read the rest of this crap. Though I'm thinking of dropping a star because thinking about it more this morning just makes me that much more set in the fact that this one was just downright horrible.

(view spoiler)[Well there was a little more where he did an epic freakout in the middle of the highway and it ended up on the news and shit. So maybe 10 pages. Lol (hide spoiler)]

Well that's a plus. I guess.

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

Meh. It is what it is.

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

We need to find a better book to buddy read to make up for this hot mess. Lol

[[deleted user]]

I agree. lol :D I'll let you know if I see you guys having the same stuff in tbr

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

Roger that! Or if you see a good one and you want a buddy read, I'm always down!

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

*sobs* Sorry ladies! I didn't mean to pick such a dud, and for your birthday too, Kat!!

I'm in for another, better, buddy-read... let me know :D

I'm still gonna trudge through the rest of this, because my brain is evil, but I'm really hating it. And as someone who had a partner who had minor, but definitely present, PTSD that vein of this story makes me want to punch people.... it's not depicted well, at all!

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

It's okay Karly! We will find one eventually where all three of us just write such glowing sassy reviews!

[Karlyflower *The Vampire Ninja, Luminescent Monster & Wendigo Nerd Goddess of Canada (according to The Hulk)*]

Haha, one hopes so!

Also, I love the new addition to your moniker ;)

[jenn *mother of dragon & snake*]

Thank you thank you! *curtsies* Not as amazing as yours. *wink*
