Haha yeah (view spoiler)[ Same! I couldn't distinguish between them and to be honest the writing style is very confusing to say the least. The first two chapters felt pretty childish and immature. And I hate their parents like who even brings up their children like that? (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

12% (view spoiler)[ I don't get what's happening. Here grandma's dead but comes to see her? Here moms dead too? But wait, she thinks her Mom died because she had sex with some guy at the beach?? And what, Noah attempts suicide??? Everythings pretty confusing so far. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I'll be starting in a few days' time.

[Fuzaila]

30% (view spoiler)[ I dont understand Noah. He acts too obsessed with Brian and why does he expect him to start kissong him or whatever? And he's sexist. Like, commenting on his sister's friends as if they were walking boobs or something. I dont really like this guy or anybody for that matter. Besides, this Brian guy is shown off like some manic-pixie-dream-boy and uhh (hide spoiler)]

Haha yeah [spoilers removed]"

I agree!

[Maddie]

Fuzaila wrote: "12% [spoilers removed]"

She just has (view spoiler)[visions of her grandma. And yeah her mum died, drove off a cliff. No idea what you mean about a guy at the beach XD And I didn't get the gist that Noah tried suicide! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Apparently I missed a lot at the start XD

I knoooow. And the miscommunication! :/ I hate how (view spoiler)[Jude talks back to the mother. I'm totally on the mum's side in this whole argument! I'd hate it if my kid dressed like that and talked back. Don't care about the makeup, but still, the short skirts no. (hide spoiler)]

Still, (view spoiler)[ It want fair of her mother to just dismiss her artwork without even checking them out, just assuming that it can't be as good as Noah's. What mother does that? Biasing one child over other?? :/ (hide spoiler)]

Yeah I agree, I couldn't believe that :/

[Fuzaila]

57% (view spoiler)[ I love Garcia. That guy definitely seems to be real and struggling with emotions.
And Noah! He actually pretended he was on a call to avoid talking to his sister? This is bad. And the stuff these twins do to each other is just so much :3 (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

66% (view spoiler)[ Wait whaat?? That was a big cliffhanger. I an so tempted to skip this chapter of Noahs and jump onto Jude's next idk I really like her. And Oscar can go die for all I care. He's really hurting her. (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

76% (view spoiler)[ Can I just say that I hate Noah?? He's being ridiculous. And even though I hate their patents for dividing up their kids like that I do think they love their kids. For once their mom is really nice. Their Dad might be too. I HATE HIM >.< (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

78% . (view spoiler)[ Omg what in the world? So Jude has a mentor who was her moms boyfriend but she doesnt know. And shes having a crush on his kinda adopted son. And Noah doesnt know who shes tutoring under and he'll kill her if he does. And wtf this is sooo messed up and I'm loving it lol. And that parrot named Prophet was prbably gifted by Garcia or something since all he says is who the he'll is Ralph lol this issss soooo messseed apppp!! (hide spoiler)]

[Fuzaila]

87% (view spoiler)[ I know Hell's gonna break loose soon but lol this is sooo damn hilarious. A sign?? His mum?? Jude being chased by a lunatic!!! Omg I'm laughing so hard lmao (hide spoiler)]

I agree! It was all very intense, and I liked how the MCs were real, how they both made terrible mistakes.

[Maddie]

Review: Well that book was definitely something else, that's for sure! I love how both Jude and Noah are 'real people', like they make mistakes, and can't bring themselves to own it, like Jude with (view spoiler)[not mailing Noah's letter (hide spoiler)] and Noah (view spoiler)[outing Brian like that! (hide spoiler)] I cannot believe they would both do something that tragic, I'd never do something like that to my brother.
I really enjoyed this book, but I did kind of feel confused with all of the age jumping going on. I couldn't keep track of (view spoiler)[who was alive when and where. (hide spoiler)] I actually forgot that (view spoiler)[their mother was dead. (hide spoiler)] But all of the plot twists surrounding (view spoiler)[Garcia (hide spoiler)] in this book were insane, and how all of the characters' relationships intertwined. So crazy. Glad I've finally got another one read that I've been meaning to.

Jumping in on this buddy read and starting now!

[Rachael]

2% (view spoiler)[ Super early, probably wrong guess - Noah is gay. Zephyr is gay but he's older and knows it and is ashamed by it so that's why he's freaking out but not telling his friend why? (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

5% (view spoiler)[ wow 2 hours is a huge time difference in twins (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

9% - I’m confused

[Rachael]

40% (view spoiler)[ well I definitely prefer 13 1/2 year old Noah over 16 year old Noah. Still undecided about Jude. I’m officially hooked and I can’t wait to read more about what’s gone on in the 2.5 years linking the past to present (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

73% (view spoiler)[ yes yes yes. The long, overdue kiss was everything I needed it to be and more. So powerful. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

74% (view spoiler)[ oh my god!!!!! Mortifying!! For all parties involved (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

82% (view spoiler)[ *gasp!!* she didn’t!! (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

84% (view spoiler)[ okay maybe I was wrong about Zephyr. (hide spoiler)]

[Rachael]

100% - ugh... my heart. this will be a 5 Star review from me!! That was so incredibly fulfilling. The characters were so unique and the story line had just enough mystery to keep me enthralled. My heart feels full having this story in it

[Sanah]

Not sure how to do updates since there aren't any chapters, but I'm up to the first 16 year old flash-forward.
(view spoiler)[ I don't really know what to think of this novel as of now, but Jude got into art school and Noah didn't, even though Noah is a zillion times better. Also the mom died and I feel like that has to do with a lot of why Jude and Noah are a mess (hide spoiler)]

[Sanah]

Somewhere in the middle, like p 150 (view spoiler)[ I'm kind of confused. The writing style is kind of melting together and I can't really keep the stories straight. The premise isn't really matching up with the novel and I don't understand Jude and Oscar's relationship or Brian and Noah's relationship. Like what happened/what's happening. Nothing is clear lol (hide spoiler)]

[Sanah]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I spent more time being confused, but things did come together with the mom driving to tell the dad about the divorce since she was having an affair and Noah withholding that truth and Jude and Oscar and Noah and Brian getting back to each other in terms of respective relationships, but this was kind of a meh book. (hide spoiler)]
