CONVERSION Book Club - October 13-18 (PART TWO discussion)

[Penguin Teen]

From October 13-18, we will be discussing PART TWO of CONVERSION in this thread!

[Mrs. Y.]

o'man is it getting weird or what

[Penguin Teen]

Time for part two! Things are getting CRAZY.

What page are you on? Any good quotes to share?

Here's our first discussion Q: Are you satisfied with how much we’ve seen of Spence so far, or do you want to see more? It seems like he and Colleen are getting along, but is their relationship going to go anywhere in this lifetime? We don’t want to wait!

[Plethora]

I have finished Part 2.

I wonder about the mental state of Emma. Big mystery behind what happened to Mr. Mitchell, why has he disappeared and the random sighting?

I'm fine with not seeing Spence too much at this point, Colleen clearly has other things on her mind. To be as driven academically and worrying about her future and college would not give her a ton of free time to spend with him. I also think it might distract from the story if her love life was displayed too much. Now if he plays into the mystery illness and helps her solve it, he could be around more.

I wish Colleen had listened to Father Molloy .. he warned her twice "It's none of their business." ----- "None. Of their business."

The interview with the nurse started with a bad feeling and got worse as she arrived to find another person in this interview and the line of questioning. I wish Colleen had stood up and said, "I'm sorry, this interview is over, I don't feel comfortable with this line of questioning."

"It's all right," the suit woman said. "We've got approval."

Under false pretenses, at the meeting with the parents it was stated "We'll be asking them a few questions for their medical files. Every year we ask you all to share your children's pediatric records so we can keep track of their immunizations and health history."

Trust your instincts! "A sickening lurch in my stomach told me that this was a completely inappropriate question."
