[Kikijanika]

You're welcome to join Anna and me as we read and discuss Emily Henry's The love that split the world :)

[Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd)]

Yay! I'm excited! :)

[Lori-Rose]

I'll join:)

[Kikijanika]

Welcome :)

[Kikijanika]

Still up for this guys? I'll try to start reading this tommorrow after work.

[Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd)]

Yep! I'll start reading it today. :) I'll probably be updating every 5 chapters or so.

[Kikijanika]

Great ☺ I think I can do the same.

[Kikijanika]

I've read the first 10 chapters.

I like the story so far. (view spoiler)[I like Natalie and her "hallucinations" and her conflicted emotions when it comes to her heritage and to who she is as a person. I think it's easy for readers to relate to her because she's going through things so many teenagers go through as they grow up, like finding themselves, preparing to leave home and outgrowing first love. (hide spoiler)]

I love reading (view spoiler)[ grandmother's stories. I think they're a great addition to the main story. Short stories within a story. Perhaps the main story is a little slow. I keep waiting for something "bigger" to happen and for Natalie to find out something about the rescue mission and other worlds. (hide spoiler)]

I thought Beau (view spoiler)[ was from a parallel world or something but now I'm not sure because Megan could hear and see him. (hide spoiler)]

[Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd)]

Sorry Kikijanika, I think that I'm going to have to DNF this one. I'm just not enjoying it at all, and it's sending my into a reading slump. I'm the type of person that would rather DNF a book and keep the slump at bay, them force myself to read it. I will be reading your updates though, and it is interesting that (view spoiler)[Megan can see Beau. It will be interesting to learn why she can. :) (hide spoiler)]

[Kikijanika]

No problem Anna ☺ There are so many great books out there that there's no point wasting time reading something you don't enjoy. Hope you find a better book to read

[Anna (Adventures with a Book Nerd)]

Thank you! I hope that you enjoy this one more than I did. :)

[Kikijanika]

Yeah, I think it's ok so far

[Kikijanika]

I finished and I think this was an ok book. A bit slow at times but it got better towards the end. The concept of the story was beautiful and so was the setting with all its colorful sunsets and sunrises.

I liked how everything (time, space, people) was kind of intertwined and how things happening in one world also affected the parallel worlds/times. It was a bit hard to follow at times, though. I loved the fact that (view spoiler)[ grandmother was actually Natalie. And I loved the ending. I don't know what's wrong with me but I seem to love it when the protagonist dies. Of course in this case, she might have actually lived in another space or another time. (hide spoiler)]
