Cassie Woohoooo so excited!(:


message 3: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments cassie, are you ready to start this one or do you want to wait for tomorrow for the readathon?


message 4: by Cassie (new)

Cassie I just started today! I got to page 12.


message 5: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments okay. I will start today and catch up soon.


message 6: by Cassie (new)

Cassie Okay! did you want to do a daily goal? Where like we read assigned pages?


message 7: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Can we do at least 8 chapters a day? They look like really short chapters and I want to finish it by the end of the readathon. We can do 10 if you would prefer to keep it a nice round number.


message 8: by Cassie (new)

Cassie We can do 8! That's fine by me. Whichever is easier for you! I was hoping to do a library trip this week so I wanted to finish it sometime this week also!


message 9: by Cassie (new)

Cassie I read to page 102 yesterday! I was slightly confused at first but after reading more of it it slowly came to make more sense to me. (: I adore the cover also, such a gorgeous cover. How far are you?


message 10: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments How many pages does your copy have?

I read the first 16 chapters.


message 11: by Cassie (new)

Cassie 293 pages.

And I'm on Chapter 19 currently.


message 12: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments At first I was a bit confused but I am enjoying it so far. I think that Rachel is (view spoiler)


message 13: by Cassie (new)

Cassie Yes same here! I'm just trying hard to figure out who the 'Mama' character is.


message 14: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments Do you think it could be (view spoiler)


message 15: by Cassie (new)

Cassie Hmm.. That actually is a pretty good possibility, we definitely cannot rule that out.


message 16: by Cassie (new)

Cassie I finished the book! I had rated it 2.5 stars. I just had gotten so confused at the end of it, like everything just became a blur when I reached the end. But I did love the characters! Wyatt and Rachel were just superb characters in my opinion. Can't wait to see what you thought!


message 17: by Mandiann (new)

Mandiann (goodreadscommandiann) | 6882 comments I finished too. I gave it two stars. The beginning was interesting but then I kind of lost interest. Too much back and forth and too much repetition between the POV's.


message 18: by Cassie (new)

Cassie I can see why you would think that. Thanks for buddy reading with me! (:
