[Vicki]

Thanks, Mandiann. I'll definitely be reading it with you girls.

[Mandiann]

Yay!!!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'll run to the library in just a few hours :D

[Mandiann]

gah...typed long post on phone app and then gr stopped working.....grrrr

Will retype tomorrow on computer. six chapters in. its cute.

[Vicki]

That happened to me yesterday when I typed a LONG PM to Jacquelyn. I was SO upset!!

[Mandiann]

I know!! I rarely bother to do spoilers on my phone cause if it errors, its just so disappointing.

Am 12 chapters in now and forcing myself to put it down and go to bed. The mc reminds me of the mc from trust me, i'm lying.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

sorry, I was in the middle of one and took too long
I'll start this one, try to post soon :)

[Mandiann]

Okay, here is what I tried to say last night about 6 chapters.

Banter (view spoiler)[ I loved the interactions between the MC and the elderly man! I hope we get to see alot more of Mr. Dunkelman.

But I feel the dialogue between the teenagers sometimes feels weird and off. I am not sure, perhaps it's just me getting older and out of touch with the younger generation. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

ugh, I'm so sorry
ran out of time AGAIN today. Bleh
I've read 2 chapters and it's adorable so far. I'll keep reading but I wish I could post something!!

only 3 stars Mandiann??
hmmmmm.....I'll post tomorrow!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

5 chapters

yikes, (view spoiler)[ he drives a hard bargain. he's just pretty much coasting through life....
but i take it the girl for Ken will be someone different :) (hide spoiler)]

grades (view spoiler)[ he doesn't even write his own papers. lol (hide spoiler)]

[Mandiann]

Grades (view spoiler)[ yes, lol that was funny. He is a smart, crafty guy (hide spoiler)]

[Mandiann]

3 stars - yes, I am actually debating changing it to two stars. The writing and language really bothered me. Many part's didn't feel like real highschool conversations but rather like what an adult thought they might be.

[Vicki]

Interesting, Mandiann. I started it today (barely) and I thought the same thing about the language.

[Mandiann]

Yes, it bothered me throughout. But I loved (view spoiler)[ the interactions with Mr. Dunkelman. I wish there was more of that. (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

10 chapters
wow, this one is quick

I love his conversations with the old guy too

Jesse (view spoiler)[ I swear all I do is cringe when he opens his mouth. He is not a nice boy (hide spoiler)]

Ken (view spoiler)[ bleh. he just wants to sleep with her. what a slimeball (hide spoiler)]

Joey (view spoiler)[ she's got spunk but she does seem a little crazy (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

20 chapters
wow, this is going crazy quick

Jesse (view spoiler)[ gah. I just really don't like him. I'm really trying to...but it's just not working
i Like that he's still visiting "grandpa"
and I like that he's actually hanging out with Pete
it makes him sweet even tho every time he opens his mouth I like him less :(
I like that he helped Joey too (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

and I'm done

Yeah (view spoiler)[ this one was just okay.
I thought Jesse just sucked.
and they didn't call him "sway" enough to name the whole book after that name.

but it wasn't a bad book (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

I'm going to get this one going today or tomorrow. Sorry I'm lagging.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

no worries, Neither of us loved it, Vicki
if you have other books, you might skip it.......

[Vicki]

Really? Hmmmm...I might do that. Ugh...

Thanks, Trisha.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

no prob :) Trust me, you aren't missing anything if you skip it
so sad because it could have been great

[Mandiann]

I agree completely, it had such great potential but failed in my eyes. Don't rush for this one.

[Vicki]

Okay, I trust my girls and will postpone or dump this one.
