Join Ashlyn and I in reading .

[Trinity]

AHHH!! I want to read this one SO bad! If I can get the book in time I would love to join you two!!

[Ashlyn]

Thanks for making the thread!

Hopefully you can get the book! I preorder mine in November.

[dianis.]

I also really want to read it, but I'll be in exams. So hopefully, I'll be able to make time for it.

[Krista]

Welcome all :) I'm so excited to read this one.

[Vicki]

I just bought this one, so I'll join you.

[Krista]

Glad you're joining us Vicki.

[Vicki]

Thanks, Krista.

[Trinity]

I just ordered this, should be coming in on the 14th. Can't wait!

[Tiffany]

I cannot find the thread for

[Ashlyn]

It was moved to the in process folder. It's near the bottom.

[Trinity]

Just got my copy in the mail! Can't wait to start :D

[Krista]

Me either! I'm so excited about this one.

[Krista]

How often are we wanting to post? I will probably start this tonight since I finished my other one I was reading.

[Ashlyn]

It's 46 chapters, so maybe every 10?

[Krista]

That's what I was thinking too.

[Vicki]

I'll be starting this one today, but not sure how far I'll get since I'm reading others too. I've been sick lately like just about everyone in CA.

[Krista]

oh no :( I'm sorry Vicki! I hope you feel better. This is a quick read you could probably do it in a day.

Ch. 10

Beginning thoughts- (view spoiler)[I like the set up so far. Although, I would have thought one of Autumn's friends would have waited for her so that's a bit annoying. Also, is anyone else bugged by the fact that at least a fire door has to be locked on the outside but people inside can get out. If I ignore those facts then I like how the story started so far.

I am sure we will learn more about Dax in this Library setting. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Thanks, Krista. :)

[Trinity]

Feel better Vicki! I am so behind on my books I want to start this soon but I don't know when I'll get around to it >.<

[Vicki]

Thanks, Trinity.

[Krista]

Finished

I didn't mean to read it in basically one sitting but I was able too. It was a cute quick read and I can't wait to talk about it. I think reading this after a really intense epic tale just had me thinking about it. haha I can't wait to see what all you guys post though. Very quick read!

[Ashlyn]

I am excited to start reading this. I have a late class tonight, so hopefully I can start tomorrow.

[Krista]

I hope you enjoy it :)

Chapter 27

This is really cute so far. I'm having a hard time putting it down.

The only think I didn't like was at the beginning. (view spoiler)[Autumn didn't want to sit on the toilet seat when she had to go pee, and it went into detail about this, however, the next day she said the toilet seat was cold. (hide spoiler)]

Do you think (view spoiler)[either Jeff likes Dallin, or Dallin likes Jeff, or they are secretly together? I kind of have that feeling for some reason. I think that is why Dallin was so upset about Autumn getting to see him at the hospital and why Jeff never told him that he likes her. (hide spoiler)]

[Krista]

@Ashlyn- (view spoiler)[I didn't remember the second part about the toilet seat but I remember her not wanting to sit down.

That is a good point about Dallin I could maybe see that. It fits because I didn't feel like it was a bit of an over reaction. Then again I didn't like that Jeff's mom was putting that much pressure on Autumn just being there in the first place. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

(view spoiler)[Yeah, it was very brief mention of it, but it was the first morning they were stuck in the library.

I really didn't like how Jeff's mom keeps pushing her, like she is going to be the miracle needed to get him better. (hide spoiler)]

[Trinity]

I finished this on Friday afternoon, I will post my thoughts soon :)

[Ashlyn]

Finished

I really enjoyed this one. It was really cute and exactly what I needed to read. I thought (view spoiler)[Jeff's reaction was a little weird. I can understand why he didn't tell her about Dax at first, but I think he took it a little too well that she didn't like him. I am glad she finally started to stand up for herself. (hide spoiler)]

[Krista]

@Ashlyn- (view spoiler)[Totally agree with your thinking here. After all that flirting and her coming to the hospital and everything else, all he does is try to kiss her and walks away? Although, I think he saw Dax in the window and didn't want to tell her about it at all as a way to get back at her. But maybe that's just me. This wasn't my #1 book by West but it was cute and a quick read. I've been reading a lot of contemporary lately so that might be apart of it too. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I think that is why Jeff didn't tell her about Dax either, and it might have been the reason why he even tried to kiss her. I mean they were flirting for that long and he hadn't tried before that, but after the accident, he just expects that she likes him. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Exactly! (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Also, (view spoiler)[wasn't it weird that Jeff was only in the hospital for a week and a half? It said that he went off a 40 foot cliff right? I feel like he should have had more injuries that what he did. He seemed to recover very quickly. (hide spoiler)]

[Krista]

That's a very (view spoiler)[good point. Plus, he was in a coma. I don't think he would be out yet and even if he was out I don't think he mom would be cool with him going off to a game. (hide spoiler)]
