Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.


Happy Buddy Reading!

I started this one as an audio but I just can't concentrate and in the evenings I keep falling asleep lol
It took me a week to listen to 3 chapters (kept rewinding). So I got a physical copy from the library.
Planning on reading it this week.

[Julia]

Can I please join this one?

[Susy]

Welcome again Julia :)
Have you started this one yet?
I’m at chapter 5 now. Seems to be an easy read. Looking forward to seeing how the story will unfold.

I read the book earlier this year. Interested to see what you all will think of it :)

[Consuelo]

Finally, I have finished my others books so I will start this book today.

[Consuelo]

I have read about 55% (view spoiler)[ Sincerely I am not enjoying this book. I understand that the author wants to make visible mental sickness, but I don't understand why a rich sad guy as a boyfriend and all the thing with the money. I liked The Fault in Our Stars and I was expecting something similar, but I think that the story of this book is much more less realistic and it's much more difficult to feel identifies with the main characters. (hide spoiler)]

I've read the first 7 chapters. I'm enjoying it. I'll probably finish it quickly. I love the friendship between Aza and Daisy. I also like Aza quirks. I left my laptop at work so I can't put anything with spoilers but I'll get my laptop tomorrow.

[Joan]

I'm mostly through chapter 12. I'm really enjoying the book. It is such a fun read. I love Harold. (view spoiler)[ I just got to the part where she kissed Davis for the first time and about 80 million bacteria is exchanged during a kiss. I find it all kind of funny. My daughter is a tiny bit like this which makes me find it endearing. I'm never going to tell her about 80 million bacteria. (hide spoiler)]
