message 662: by Vega_girl (new)

Vega_girl | 6624 comments Ok so I just finished Roomies by Lindy Zart .....from the first page I don't know why but I wanted to hate it.......Kennedy was annoying I didn't like the author's tone.....blah blah blah.....
The thing is I could not stop laughing!!!! Kennedy is one of the funniest characters I have come across.....not because she is funny(which she is) ,but because of her utter lack of etiquette..... and tact.....she is so unbelievably blunt and just plain weird....

One of you needs to read this book. I really loved it but feel like the snotty critic in me is gagging!!!....I can't stop smiling!!!!!

Hahahaha!! It's the holidays too and with so much going on I don't know if I will finish my challenges too! I'm reading I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson . I like it, but I'm only about 50% in and I'm going away this weekend. It's just not fair that real life gets in the way of our reading. :D

I just showed this to one of my (way too many) "not reading friends". She didn'T agree. She said she likes MOVIES way better. I don'T even know why she is my friend! I totally agree with you! Without you girls, I'd give up on books a long time ago, because I would explode (of not being able to share my thoughts with others!).

Or they could be "I love you", or .... They could be "I hate you" (although probably not)! Or they could be: "I love Jack." or, or, or .... "Minnesota is beautiful," or "I am redheaded," or ... "I am sorry," "You are handsome,"I miss Maisie," "I have cancer," ....

They were "I miss you" probably, since that was important in the whole book, but ... I am not willing to forgive that ending and let it go just yet!

Yes:) LOVED IT but I should probably re-read it soon, because so many things got revealed and so many didn't and, and I just got lost toward the end. I don't think I understood everything that had happened in the last chapters ...
