[Maddie]

You sure do!

[Rebecca]

26% (view spoiler)[ I knew there was something suspicious going on with Thomas. Am I the only one not believing the note? (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Rebecca]

50% (view spoiler)[ not a fan of Whittaker, not sure why? Just doesn't seem right to me (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Haha I seriously want to comment on those! So glad to see someone finally reading these :D I'm worried you're going to power past me :p

[Fuzaila]

I still haven't got my copy yet. 😥

[Maddie]

Oh no! but don't worry, it's a really easy read, no stress.

[Shae]

I read one chapter the other day so I'll be continuing with it soon . i haven't forgotten :)

[Maddie]

Good XD Just knock it down in one go and move on. It's real easy.

[Fuzaila]

Got it! 😃
Chapter 2. (view spoiler)[I've only started and already wishing I was at Easton. (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

30% Thomas seems like a bad choice. And am I the only one to think that Reed doesnt speak much?

[Maddie]

Yeah she's real passive and compliant.

I'll be reading #5 today/tomorrow.

[Rebecca]

been reading slow the past few days intend to finish some this weekend

[Maddie]

Which one are you up to?

[Rebecca]

2 still

[Maddie]

Alrighty :)

[Fuzaila]

60% (view spoiler)[This is so wrong. Things went too fast with Thomas and Reed. And also, the Billboard Girls are definitely using Reed. Will most probably get her expelled soon. What has she done? And why is she so willing to oblige? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I know she's such a blood doormat. XD You should read my updates and reviews of these books as you go, it'd be good to talk about them with someone. They'll be previously in this thread.

[Fuzaila]

Finished. (view spoiler)[Reed is just so stupid. Her stalking was obsessive. And I am in no way fans of the Billing Girls. If given a chance, I wouldnt even want to be with them. And where did Thomas disappear to?
He lied to Reed too.
Just glad that finally Reed has got into Billings and I finished this book. Done with it actually. (hide spoiler)]

I've read them :)
You have gotten a bit far in the series right?
I dont think I would continue with it. Just not my type. I couldnt relate to it at all. The schools here are not at all like Eastons.

[Maddie]

Aren't you reading any more? I know someone else pulled out because it was too 'trashy' for them XD

[Maddie]

I don't think any schools are like Easton. I think that's the point XD

Yeah it takes 2 very different people to enjoy books like these XD Initially I thought they were definitely not my type, but then I couldn't stem the anticipation for the next one. I just needed it, and I typically don't get that way with books. So this was a nice surprise haha. I'm even reading them quite close together.

And yeah, I'm reading #5 tomorrow.

Glad you liked them. I was fairly certain at the beginnibg that I was gonna love it but then it just didn't work. I love the school genre though. Like Sweet Valley High, and Blyton's Malory Towers & St Clare's series.

[Maddie]

Hopefully you find your next read more enjoyable.

[Maddie]

9% (view spoiler)[I really feel like I'm missing something. A whole 2 terms, with her getting Honors in both? What? Or was that during the last book before Noelle and Co. got kicked out? Oh well, doesn't matter XD
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

23% (view spoiler)[Wait Josh had only been at Easton for a year? Then how did he know all those people and be on so many teams when Reed arrived? How was he in the know with the popular group if he arrived same time as Reed??

This Ivy girl is going to cause some trouble..

Confused some more. Cheyenne's been president for ages? I don't know what's going on. I haven't skipped any books. Maybe there was just an interval between books, although I don't know how they could have done that because #4 ended with her back in Croton for summer holidays..?

Her and Dash had shared a maybe moment?? What the heck?? I'm not sure I can do this. I need to do some research into what's going on...
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Okay cool, so based on someone else's review, it seems right. I thought I was missing a book or five, but apparently it seems intentional. So I'll just pick it back up and try not to feel paranoid about me missing a book XD

[Maddie]

33% (view spoiler)[Oh wow Josh and Cheyenne? Hhhmmmmm.

And of course Reed is getting bubbles from Dash. Even in the last book, when they consorted to help Josh get out of jail, I sensed something starting.

She needs to just ask Josh. Just say 'Sabine saw you hanging out with Cheyenne first day back. I didn't realise you guys even talked!' and just see what happens.
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

55% (view spoiler)[Holy shit Cheyenne! I'm totally feeling Reed right now! If someone was crushing on my boyfriend that hard and that obviously, and he was doing nothing to shut it down, and didn't seem to mind it, I'd have a massive issue! My anger is boiling for Reed!

Oh my gosh Cheyenne helped Astrid! But now she's probably going to get caught having to put it back.
And I really like Rose, always the logical one. And willing to stand up for them.
I was just starting to like Cheyenne. There's no difference now between Noelle and her :/
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

54% (view spoiler)[Yes Rose and London :D Getting on the bandwagon! I legit wasn't sure Cheyenne would let them just go! Rose, London and Reed are going to get crap for that!
(hide spoiler)]

As usual I am loving this book XD I'm getting so distracted when I'm sprinting that I'm missing the finish times, and that never happens. I just want to marathon this whole series XD I'll be super sad when it's done.

[Maddie]

65% (view spoiler)[Oh no. Crap. Not Josh and Cheyenne! I mean, at the moment I can see him as a traitor, but at the start he was so sweet! Why is Brian making us ship Reed and Josh and then not, and I feel like now we're supposed to ship Reed and Dash??

And Reed's all like 'no I can't make a scene now' when that's seriously what I'm rooting her to do! I want her to flip in the cafeteria, or at least in front of other people!
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

78%% (view spoiler)[Oh wow you go Reed!!!! You smash that bitch! But remember also your man had a part in it. Unless yknow Cheyenne planted that text message, took his phone and sent it to her just to set this whole thing up.

If my boyfriend did that to me, cheated on me so intensely, I'd be sick too.

Yes here's the confrontation! GO REED!
(hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Finished (view spoiler)[Oh wow Cheyenne killed herself!?!? No clue why Reed didn't dob her in. I totally would have!

I, like Reed, was incredibly proud of her first comeback XD

So please she forgave Josh! Thank you Cheyenne for showing the colour of those pills. To be fair though, still doesn't explain why he was looking at her like that.. What do those pills do?

And I reckon it's actually been Noelle the whole time, pretending to be Dash. He probably told her everything too, which is why she came back to see Reed. Wonder what Josh is going to say too!

Maddison wrote: "41% So she's just peop..." 44% (view spoiler)[ * can't believe she is doing all the things they ask her to do. She came across as such a strong female character at the start, but now she is doing anything to fit in. I could never do that. I really want to know what Ariana has to do with Thomas and why she is so interested in if reed likes him. I also found James and kirin very cute :) (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

But at least she isn't standing up to them all the time. I feel like she's the most normal MC I've come across.

[Shae]

True, I just hope she gets a bit stronger

[Maddie]

She does ;)

[Shae]

54% book 1 (view spoiler)[ Thomas seems like he wants reed all to himself. Not sure if it's just because he doesn't like the billing girls or if it's because he might be a bit possessive (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

80% (view spoiler)[ can't believe Reed stole that test and it was all for nothing!! And Thomas is a drug dealer :/ not cool!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I know, the surprises keep getting better XD Believe me. Even though I read the other one yesterday, I want to read the next one RIGHT NOW.

[Shae]

Book 1 finished (view spoiler)[ where is Thomas?? And Reed is now a billing girl :O I want to see what happens. I will definitely continue with this guilty pleasure :P (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeessss so pleased you of all people liked it Shae :p

[Shae]

Haha me of all people?

[Maddie]

Because I wanted you to like it :p And because we're friends, so I'm pleased I can talk to you about it!

[Shae]

Haha ok i get you now, will have to look to see if the second book fits the bookish blocks or spelling bee for next month

[Maddie]

They're quick enough I just read them for fun :p

And yeah it does, as one of the Bookish Blocks is 'boarding school'.

[Shae]

Oh perfect!! I need to have a look at them and see where y books fit so I try and pick up ones that make a line

[Maddie]

I'm just going to read them as they fit something XD

[Rebecca]

75% (view spoiler)[ am I mistaken or do they want her to go off to higher education with them. because that is very odd (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

What's odd?

[Rebecca]

I have finished (view spoiler)[ hasn't she just started at that school and now they're trying to move her off to a different school when she's not even finished her education- what?? (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]
