Literally by Lucy Keating - Restarting March 10th 2018

[Sarah Elizabeth]

A girl realizes her life is being written for her in this unique, smart love story that is Stranger Than Fiction for fans of Stephanie Perkins.

Annabelle’s life has always been Perfect with a capital P. Then bestselling young adult author Lucy Keating announces that she’s writing a new novel—and Annabelle is the heroine.

It turns out, Annabelle is a character that Lucy Keating created. And Lucy has a plan for her.

But Annabelle doesn’t want to live a life where everything she does is already plotted out. Will she find a way to write her own story—or will Lucy Keating have the last word?

The real Lucy Keating’s delightful contemporary romance blurs the line between reality and fiction, and is the perfect follow-up for readers who loved her debut Dreamology, which SLJ called, “a sweet, quirky romance with appealing characters.”

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ I'd be confused too, she sounds like a nut-job. (hide spoiler)]

Sorry I'm kinda late.

(view spoiler)[It's so weird. How can an author be a character inside a book she is writing? And the fictional Lucy even told the main character that she's just a character in a story. It doesn't make sense for me. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Wow, that new boy Will moves fast! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ it didn't make much sense really. I found it even stranger that the author had made up all this stuff about herself as well, saying that she was a New York Times bestselling author and that she had written 6 books when she hasn't. (hide spoiler)]

[Kim at Divergent Gryffindor]

30% (view spoiler)[ It's starting to sound a bit immature here. The tone sounds off. (hide spoiler)]

40% (view spoiler)[ I don't get why the main character is the only one who sees the signs such as TK. (hide spoiler)]

50% (view spoiler)[ Okay yay the tone sounds normal now. The main character is so selfish here. She just left Will's party without a word and went on to run off with Elliot. I mean, I'm rooting for Elliot but she didn't have to be a jerk about it. (hide spoiler)]

84% (view spoiler)[ Whew, why is everything disappearing? (hide spoiler)]

Finish (view spoiler)[ Okay, the ending was nice. I liked the message at the end. There were some amazing quotes as well. Overall, it was an okay book. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 1-8 (view spoiler)[ I'm having mixed emotions with this book. Elliot is the first male character who's perceived as the bad cool guy whom I hate. His lack of manners just ticks me and I hate how the MC feels something for him (even if it's just a little). But I'm not giving up with this book because I'm also intrigued how it will end. I just hope everything will make sense like how Lucy was able to come to her fictional world. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 9-15 (view spoiler)[What? Lucy said sorry by tracing it in the clouds? What is this? Why is Annabelle the only character in her book who has stronger feelings than the others? He can easily manipulate Elliot, Clare, Will, and the other characters but with Annabelle, it's like she has a mind of her own. I just hope it will be explained why the set up is like that. Just give some sense to the plot. (hide spoiler)]

[Christine]

Chapter 16-23 (view spoiler)[Probably one of the things I don;t like about this plot is its love triangle. I generally hate love triangles. So far, I'm getting the connection with AB getting annoyed with Lucy, the writer like srsly. (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ Turns out it wasn't that bad at all. It was really entertaining and it's a new world to get into. I just feel bad for Will. That's why I hate love triangles, I feel bad for the other guy. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4: (view spoiler)[ The author is a character!!! Metafiction in its best form!!! (hide spoiler)]
