Oh sorry! Maybe we have different versions? I'm reading on Kindle... otherwise I don't know how that happened :/

[Amy]

Irene (response to your 53% comment) lol this may get confusing! (view spoiler)[ I think it depends how short the shortened life is... she may manage to live five years and gets to see everything in this world that she wants to or she may live a week and not manage everything she wants to. I'm not sure what I'd go for... i don't like the uncertainty of how short 'living' would be. (hide spoiler)]

I mean, in the end, you'll die and she'll be forever alone... Protecting her from heartache ain't protecting her from life, it's taking away her life. Sort of. (hide spoiler)]

It wasn't a big spoiler, so it's fine :) Mine is 5% off I think. I'm also reading on Kindle.

(view spoiler)[Yeah, I guess a shorter life could also mean that she'd die within an hour and in that case it might not be worth it, I don't know.. You're right though :) (hide spoiler)]

Oh that's a bit weird, I just double checked and it's definitely the right % hmmm, don't know!

Yeah, it's a dilemma! I don't think many people would be able to decide, it's a toughie.

[Amy]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Don't know what to make of the ending. Does she go back to her mum, stay with Olly? Surely her mum should be punished! Hmm, not enough answers! (hide spoiler)]

[Irene]

Done!
(view spoiler)[I don't think her mom should be punished. I think she really believed Maddy to be sick. She clearly suffered from the death of her husband and son, and I think it'd be totally doable to believe your perfectly healthy daughter to be sick, and then as years went by, she's just never looked more into it. I'm not saying it's right, not at all! Clearly she's not fit to be a mother. I just don't think punishment - like prison - is the best way to treat her. She should be admitted to a mental institution :P Lol

I liked the ending. :) (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I didn't look at it that way. I thought that her mum was just being selfish. Hmm, maybe she is just a bit mentally unstable. Interesting insight Irene! :) (hide spoiler)]

I found myself smiling at the first sentence. As a bookworm, it really amused me. I have a good feeling about this one! :D

(view spoiler)[ I think this may be the one book that has a lot of chat conversations that I'm okay with. Hehe. It feels like a cute read! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Aw, it's so sad that they won't be seeing again. The new nurse seems like a bitch. Ugh. I'm curious about how Maddy and Olly will make things work. (hide spoiler)]

Chat logs and random diagrams. It totally works for this story!

[Noella]

I don't like how Maddy spoils books :( Some of them I haven't read but it's on my TBR list

[Kim at Divergent Gryffindor]

Things I don't like as of 73%
(view spoiler)[
• What is up with reading a book backwards?
• How whiny she was at the middle, since I admired her so much in the beginning for not being whiny
• She's selfish, and I don't like all the lies
• There's nothing happening to her after a long time outside? Isn't that weird? (hide spoiler)]

Things I like:(view spoiler)[
• The romance is really cute and sweet
• I love Carla the nurse!
• The first sentence, definitely!
• The chatting and the bundt cake! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[It didn't strike me as weird that she didn't get sick. They don't know her triggers, it could be anything, so maybe she just haven't been exposed to any yet. That was what I was thinking anyway. :) (hide spoiler)]

[Kim at Divergent Gryffindor]

@IreneL I guess.. :)

Amy wrote: "75% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[It was surprising how she risked everything and seemed to be fine for the majority of the time she spent 'outside'! (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Amy wrote: "90% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Her mother is so sick. The 18 years Maddy can't get back! And also her immune system is now weak because of what her mother did. She'd be in perfect health otherwise. I wouldn't forgive her at all!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Noella]

Finished
(view spoiler)[I need to read The Little Prince now :P
I liked how the book ties Mad and Olly together. The was abrupt and left me with some questions. Where's Maddy going to stay? Olly's house? It's like she has nowhere to live now and who will be supporting her? Her mother's credit card? So much uncertainty (hide spoiler)]

[Kim at Divergent Gryffindor]

Finished:
(view spoiler)[ Aha! I knew there was something weird when being outside for so long didn't trigger an allergic reaction! I wish Maddy and her mom got to talk things out more towards the end. They didn't really need to make up, but just talk about it, seeing as how close they were. Otherwise, the ending was good.

Hey guys, before Carla came, there was a long time when nurse bitch didn't have any mention of. Was she fired, or did she just disappear from the story? (hide spoiler)]

Noella, I agree with you! Definitely so much!

Irene, I agree with you on your Finished comment too! :D

[Tina]

Just started!

I'm going a bit slow because I'm reading other books as well.

Checking in!

[Amanda P]

I am in for Sept 10th.

[Sharon]

I am going to start this one early because I will be in school during the day that the discussion starts.

6%: (view spoiler)[ Must suck to not be able to live your life outside of your house. I feel so bad for her. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

9%: (view spoiler)[ Her diary was cute! I thought it was funny how she thought the aliens would take her mom, Carla and the family next door because they are healthy. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

27%: (view spoiler)[ their online chat conversations are so cute. Olly seems to experience some home troubles. I feel bad for him. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

39%: (view spoiler)[ I find Olly's chaos theory intriguing. Never thought of that! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

60%: (view spoiler)[ OMG!! She left her house! Why is she being so stupid? She could die!! Like seriously, this is not smart. (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

77%: (view spoiler)[ They are having sex?! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

88%: (view spoiler)[ OMG!!! She doesn't have SCID!! Her mother has been lying to her! How can she do that to her own daughter?! (hide spoiler)]

[Sharon]

Ending Thoughts: (view spoiler)[ A mother who does that to her own child is not a good parent. The beauty of parenthood is to know when to let go of their child and be independent. She should go to prison. The story was beautiful, but I thought it was also kind of reckless. (hide spoiler)]

[Alyson]

36%:
(view spoiler)[I just randomly picked this book up because I got tired of The Paper Magician and Mad About the Hatter, and hoooooo boy, where do I start with my love with this book!
First of all, Madeline and Olive are two precious cinnamon rolls, don't you dare to hurt them! I mean, I just enjoy so much their real life interactions and the email exchange, and I'm such a sucker for a romance where both characters say 'oh no, we will never fall for each other', but they do (or I hope so). (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Will start this soon

[Victoria]

I read this all at once, away from my computer:

25%
(view spoiler)[
I'm in love with how the book is put together - with the things in between and all the descriptions. I could practically feel like I was right there
(hide spoiler)]

40%
(view spoiler)[
whaaaaaat areeeeeee youuuuuuuu doiiiiiiiing?! What if you get sick and DIE?
(hide spoiler)]

55%
(view spoiler)[
I'm feeling suspicious about this whole thing. How did she not get sick while coming outside?
(hide spoiler)]

65%
(view spoiler)[
can I just say I love Carla?

85%
(view spoiler)[
Aw! AWwwwwwwwwwwww~ Stop. Olly and Maddy give me these warm fuzzy thoughts.
(hide spoiler)]

100%
(view spoiler)[
I don't know how I feel about such things. It's a little shady? How her mom just happened to not realize she was sick? I understand she's mentally ill but, that was a twist I really was not ready for at all. Very very very few books/movies ever get the upperhand with me like that- so I commend them.

[[deleted user]]

6% (view spoiler)[ I love the writing style. Quick chapters and easy to follow.

I feel bad for the character. Must suck not to be able to leave the house or her room. (hide spoiler)]

[Gayatri]

11% (view spoiler)[ I feel so bad for her. She can't do anything. Poor Ollie. His family looks messed up (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

13% (view spoiler)[ I think the mom was a little rude. And should have handled it a little better. (hide spoiler)]

[Gayatri]

34% (view spoiler)[ I love Ollie (hide spoiler)]

Sharon wrote: "27%: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I loved the chats. So cute.

In a way they are perfect for each other. Both have something going on. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

40% (view spoiler)[ so on top of not being able to leave her house she has lost her faster and brother. That's hard. She has had a hard life. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

51% (view spoiler)[ I can see why the mom is so nervous and scared. She already lost her husband and her son and can't lose her daughter too.

Going outside was stupid. And a huge risk (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

87% (view spoiler)[ I really hope what I'm thinking is not true. I really hope I'm wrong. (hide spoiler)]

[[deleted user]]

Done (view spoiler)[ really enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. I was mad at the mom. I could see why she did it but that still does not make what she did right. She was wrong to lie to her daughter and keep her from so much.

I'm glad she was able to find out and fix things. (hide spoiler)]

[Gayatri]

54% (view spoiler)[ I can't believe she went outside like that. She knew that not only did she risk her health but, also her relationship with Ollie and Carla got fired. I loved her! (hide spoiler)]

[Gayatri]

82% (view spoiler)[ I was so into this book, I forgot to write a update. My god. I'm so glad Maddy went outside and fell in love with Ollie. She deserved it. But why did she stop all contact (hide spoiler)]

[Gayatri]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I loved the ending! It was so good. This book was amazing! (hide spoiler)]
