Feel free to join Saurabh and I.

[Saurabh]

We are beginning with this one today. Right?

[Sarah | Kerosene.Lit]

It's tomorrow for me, but yup! Does that still work for you?

[Saurabh]

Sure it does. Was just confirming before I started reading :)

[Sarah | Kerosene.Lit]

Perfect. I'll start first thing in the morning.

[Saurabh]

So I assume you have started with the book? How are you doing there?

[Trinity]

I loved this one! I hope you both enjoy it. :)

[Sarah | Kerosene.Lit]

Thanks, Trinity!

Yup, I am about 20% through. I'm liking it so far. (view spoiler)[I'm predicting that it will end with her memory gone, and the entire book is herself reading through the memories (hide spoiler)]. How are you making out with it?

[Sarah | Kerosene.Lit]

43% through. (view spoiler)[I don't know how I feel about Maddie's reaction. She's obviously dealing with the news in her own way, but c'mon, Sammie is going through a lot.

Sammie is taking everything pretty well. I don't think I would react the same way, if I was experiencing this disease. It's pretty amazing that she still wants to accomplish everything she had originally planned for. She's optimistic, but you can tell there's a lot of fear. Her parents get upset that she's not being realistic, but writing a journal to her future self is, in her own way, being realistic.

I really like the character Coop. I like that he knows the severity of her disease, but he treats her normally. (hide spoiler)]

[Saurabh]

Great!! I am just a little over 30% done with the book. Didn't get time to read at all yesterday. But I am loving it!! Sammie is so relatable as a person even though she's a girl with NPC.

[Saurabh]

And thanks Trinity! I had a feeling I would enjoy reading when I read the synopsis. Thanks Sarah to you too for this such a wonderful book. I hadn't heard about it before :)

[Sarah | Kerosene.Lit]

Awesome! I'm glad you're liking it too. I didn't hear much about it, but I saw the ebook for $1.99 one day and decided to jump on it. I'm glad I did. I'm about 70% through now. It's getting intense.

[Saurabh]

Ohh you are pretty quick!! I am a slow reader I guess anyway... I'll try to make up somewhat today

[Sarah | Kerosene.Lit]

Don't worry about it :). I'll take a break tomorrow from it and read another book I've started.

[Sarah | Kerosene.Lit]

I'm finished now. I LOVED IT. The ending wasn't what I expected. (view spoiler)[It was WORSE. Oh my gosh. That was so heartbreaking. (hide spoiler)]

[Saurabh]

Ohh is that so? I also thought I knew how this is going to end. But I have my doubts now. I am almost 75% done and should complete it by today

[Saurabh]

I have finished the book just now.. And it was amazing!!

[Sarah | Kerosene.Lit]

I know! It was such a great book. I'm happy that you also enjoyed it. :)

[Saurabh]

Yup I surely did.. It was in fact better than what I had expected. Thanks again for the book :)

[Sarah | Kerosene.Lit]

No problem!
