Hey Christelle! I took a short - very short - nap after noon, but that doesn't mean I'm wide awake now. LOL. Sorry that your sleep was fitful but yayyyyyy for your repaired faucet!!!! Well done! :)

Yeah, I noticed you were up late! Hope you could at least take a nap during the day.
And YAY for your faucet finally getting fixed!! It took him long enough to get the job done, though.
Okay, girls I started already and I have to say that (view spoiler) What I'm a bit surprised about is his age. Somehow I would have thought he would be older than twenty-one...
Thanks, Simone. I'm glad he came : there was some issue with the pipes, so my DIY wouldn't have been a success :-(
Holy shit!!! He was seven years young?? I'm already in search for knives and swords!!

No, I just thought he would be mid-to-late twenties. I don't know why... LOL

Thanks, Josy. And no nap :-( I'm sitting in my kitchen so that I don't get comfy and sleep on you all, LOL !!!
Simone wrote: "No, I just thought he would be mid-to-late twenties. I don't know why... LOL ."Pfftt...I have no confidence in my brain cells, today : I was afraid to have blacked-out, LOL
Christelle wrote: "Thanks, Josy. And no nap :-( I'm sitting in my kitchen so that I don't get comfy and sleep on you all, LOL !!!.."How about you take a nap now? As fast as you read, you will be able to catch up with us in no time! Don't force yourself if you are too tired.
Simone wrote: "Okay, girls I started already and I have to say that [spoilers removed] What I'm a bit surprised about is his age. Somehow I would have thought he would be older than twenty-one..."I don't even have words for how much I hate her!!

You're too sweet, Josy. But I prefer not to or I won't be able to sleep tonight. And I so much prefer being with you all !!
Although, I still don't like to discover Hernan's past. No wonder he wanted out of El Savador :-(
Josy wrote: "Simone wrote: "Okay, girls I started already and I have to say that [spoilers removed] What I'm a bit surprised about is his age. Somehow I would have thought he would be older than twenty-one..."..."
Yep, right there with you and it doesn't get any better...
Starting chapter 13 now. :)
Goddammit! Could someone please murder this b*tch??????
Starting chapter 13.I'm just wondering one thing. I get that people want to flee El Savador. What I wonder is why Costa Rica is not an option : I would assume it's a cheaper way.
And reading chapter 12 makes me cringe even harder as right now, in France, an immigration law is under review and some of our politicians are trying to fight against family reunions (Jesus, they don't find normal for kids with asylum rights to be with their parents and brothers and sisters, grrrr....)

Well, I don't know about Costa Rican rights, but I can't imagine that it would be any easier. It's a poor country itself, so I don't think they want to take on any refugees... :(
Christelle wrote: "I'm just wondering one thing. I get that people want to flee El Savador.

Maybe they think they will have better chances of earning money in the US or remaining undetected longer? Sorry, it's just speculation because I don't know anything about Costa Rica.
And yes, it's like this everywhere. In some countries worse than in others but immigration laws are always a hot topic.

Really looking forward to your reviews for this story! It seems...intense.
Has anyone heard of Karen?

Same here :-(

Okay.
I need to take a short break soon, too, to feed Glori :)
36% I really don't want to know what happened on Hernán's journey...

Uh-oh.... Yeah, he always said he failed Albert and Andrea, right? Somehow I don't want to know... :(
Simone wrote: "Uh-oh.... Yeah, he always said he failed Albert and Andrea, right? Somehow I don't want to know... :( "Yes : I have that thought in my head as well :-( It's not going to end well, I'm afraid :-(
Simone wrote: "Uh-oh.... Yeah, he always said he failed Albert and Andrea, right? Somehow I don't want to know... :(.."Yeah. That's what I was thinking as soon as I read their names...
Sorry, I'm late to the party but I was just gathering a few supplies and I was bad and read a bit too much last night, in my defense I once again got so wrapped up in what I was reading that I didn't noticed I'd gone into the next chapter...
Also I promised hubby bar-b-que ribs for supper so I needed to get them cooking...I has been a busy lady this morning but I am here now.
Well granny may be a biotch, but at least Hernan's got his Uncle Juan who seems to really care about him.
Karen wrote: "Sorry, I'm late to the party but I was just gathering a few supplies and I was bad and read a bit too much last night, in my defense I once again got so wrapped up in what I was reading that I didn..."Hey Karen! Again. ;-) No problem, you read so fast anyway. ;-)
I'm eating dinner now, so I might be a bit quiet, but I'm still reading. :)
Karen wrote: "Sorry, I'm late to the party but I was just gathering a few supplies and I was bad and read a bit too much last night, in my defense I once again got so wrapped up in what I was reading that I didn..."Hi, Karen ~waves~
You are forgiven because you provided the knives we so desperately need :)
I'm at the break in chapter 14 - 38% crossing the river - and I need to feed Glori now. I'll be back shortly :)
Hello Karen :-)
Starting chapter 14. :)
Hi ladies, I caught up last night and got as far as chapter 22. I will be very interested to hear your reactions about what's going to happen in the middle of the book and not long thereafter! :) Happy reading!
Simone wrote: "Starting chapter 14. :)"I'm into it and wish for the memories to be over and down. It's heart-breaking :-(

We are all around chapter 13-14, I guess and it's tough :-(
I hope that it gets less poignant by 50%, LOL, although you get me worried a bit ;-)

Hi Ariana! *waves*I'm at the short break in chapter 14 now where Josy stopped and yeah, just like Christelle, you had me worried a bit. LOL.
Ariana wrote: "Hi ladies, I caught up last night and got as far as chapter 22. I will be very interested to hear your reactions about what's going to happen in the middle of the book and not long thereafter! :) H..."Hi, Ariana!!
Wow, chapter 22? And I must admit, I'm worried about what more is to come. Right now, the memories are really heartbreaking.

What a freakin' nerve wracking experience to have to go through and I know there's more to come...I'm just starting chapter 14 now.
Karen wrote: "What a freakin' nerve wracking experience to have to go through and I know there's more to come...I'm just starting chapter 14 now."I'm dreading what is to come...
I'm halfway through chapter 15. I read faster now because I want to get this over with.
at 42% and quite afraid to know what will happen to Andrea and Albert :-(
I only now start chapter 15.
Simone wrote: "I only now start chapter 15."I'm in the middle of it....it's Hell :-(
Starting chapter 16 and my stomach is in knots...
Josy wrote: "Starting chapter 16 and my stomach is in knots..."Silly me, I'm into chapter 16, not 15. OK, it's not spoiling, it's giving a supportive hand. Josy, hold tightly and then, it seems there's a glimmer of hope.
Oh my god! You all are leaving me in the dust. I'm just starting chapter 15.
