Pointe, Claw, by Amber J. Keyser → Start Date: June 1st, 2017

[Vicki]

Start June off by joining Trisha and me!

[Vicki]

Can we move this until like June 17?

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

sure lol
how's June 18th? :D

I'm starting now....

NO chapter numbers (ugh)
so do you have the hard copy? any way we can do page numbers?

[Vicki]

Yes, I have the hard copy. Pg. 146 begins DAWN so we can compare. Sometimes there's different editions but I think this is the only one since it's new. LOL

[Vicki]

Through pg. 99

Jesse (view spoiler)[is in such a dog eat dog, cut throat competition! I feel for her and all that she has gone through to make it to the top and then not make it? I wonder if Vadim wants her for a special performance or something. (hide spoiler)]

Dawn (view spoiler)[I can't even imagine going through what she goes through! Waking up to strange places, not knowing what's happened, where you've been, if you'll find your home. I hate that she's going through this and it seems to really be changing who she is. (hide spoiler)]

Dawn's mother (view spoiler)[at least cares enough to be seeking out specialists, even if she is a bit over the top! (hide spoiler)]

I'm not sure if (view spoiler)[I'm glad they have reconnected or not because neither girl seems to "know" who the other one is. They've both changed so much in 8 years, which is to be expected. I hope they can somehow reconnect in a meaningful way. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Through pg. 209

Jessie (view spoiler)[is a really good friend to Dawn. I love how they are reconnecting after so many years. I love that Dawn "sees" Jessie when nobody else does. Right now, for me, the competition seems to have taken a back seat and the friendship is more important or at least front and center. (hide spoiler)]

Dawn (view spoiler)[I really hope that she (doctors) figure out what is going on with her and that she can get help. It's just so awful what she is going through. Was she going to strip in that club or did she just find herself there for some reason? So many questions. (hide spoiler)]

Dawn's mother (view spoiler)[turns out to be not such a good mother at all. She has too many reasons to want to "fix" her daughter other than the right reasons. (hide spoiler)]

David (view spoiler)[is the stereotypical jerk of a stepdad. Ugh...I can't stand him! (hide spoiler)]

Jessie's dad (view spoiler)[early on I had a feeling it was something like her dad cheating with Dawn's mother because of something that was said but I can't recall exactly what. I think it was her dad that said though, indicating to me that he possibly had cheated. (hide spoiler)]

I really wish that (view spoiler)[we'd find out what is wrong with Dawn but I'm wondering if we ever will. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Finished

I wasn't 100% happy with the ending. I (view spoiler)[am still confused as to exactly what was going on with Dawn. But overall I like how it went. I'm glad that the girls were able to be there for each other in ways no one else could. (hide spoiler)]
