Yes, please do! It’s a reread for me and I’m not entirely sure about Sophie, but the more the merrier! The only thing is that we’ll start on the 15th of the month if that’s okay with you guys

[Axel]

All good with me!

[Jamie]

I’d like to be participating too. And the 15th gives me time to finish off the books I’m currently reading

[Sophie , Group/Buddy Reads Procrastinator]

It’s going to be my first time reading!

[Aless, Discord/Readathon Procrastinator]

@Shayna @Axel @Jamie You guys have been added! You don't need another buddy read to join an existing buddy read, just simply ask to join!

Happy reading!

[Axel]

Me too! This will be so much fun! Its my first buddy read, but im glad im doing it with you!!!

Any thoughts on the book so far? I personally stayed up until 5am and hardly got any sleep because of it! Forgot how much I loved it!

[Axel]

I liked the first three chapters so far!

Since I live in America, its strange to see that the protagonist is named America, but she lives in a fictional country???? If that makes any sense. But besides that its super cute.

I am so sorry I haven't been active on here lately. OH MY GOSH THOUGH I FORGOT THE TWINKLE IN MY EYE THAT I GOT WHEN I FIRST READ THE BOOK! Re-reading it is so much fun! I'm assuming you are all at the part when America literally yells at Maxon.................

Uhm, just to let you guys know, I finished it!!! What did you guys think?? LOL

[Edith, Group/Buddy Reads Procrastinator]

I loved it! I like the whole royalty aspect to it and it almost feels like a game of some sort with the whole selection going on. Yet there’s a nice touch of politics to it that’s not unbearable you know? Idk, it’s just one or the books I keep gravitating towards a lot!
