Feel free to join, Sibil! :)

[Sibil]

Thanks! :) And I don't think it's a problem if you start today... it's just a day :)

[Sibil]

I was really excited about this book because it seems so intersting, and so I'm happy to have finally started the reading! :)

chapter 1-4(view spoiler)[ Usually I don't like lobsters, I found them creepy and I always feel sorry for them, but I think that this time I can make an exception!
This book really sound intersting and the main character seems good, I'm not an expert but she seems real! And Miles seems intriguing, but I don't have a clear idea about him, at least for now. (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Chapter 1-8 (view spoiler)[I am really enjoying this. The writing style is so good and I'm hooked with it. Alex is pretty believable and I have to remind myself she's an unreliable character. I find the lobsters funny. Damn, in my opinion she's a witty character.

Miles.. Blue Eyes. HAHAHA! I find him cute even if he is sarcastic. I'm guessing if he has a mental illness as well. (hide spoiler)]

I agree. Miles (view spoiler)[is an intriguing character. Though he is sarcastic. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Starting this shortly. Can't wait! :)

(view spoiler)[I totally agree! I love the writing and I too find Miles cute and sarcastic (and I love sarcastic people!). And it's easy to forget that Alex is not a reliable character! (hide spoiler)]

chapters 5-16 (view spoiler)[I like Miles, but all the things that Tucker says about him are a little creepy, maybe there are a lot more about Miles and we have to discover it! :) But the parents are really really bugging me: I mean, you can't name your little daughter Charlemagne! It's great and epic and also funny, but you really name a little girl Charlemagne? And then, I understand that it's not an easy life, and that they had to do a lot of sacrifice for Alex's sake, but they are very peculiar and not normal at all, why on heart YA's character can't have normal parents? They are not extinguished!! I am loving this reading but this thing really annoy me!
Btw, Einstein's definition of crazy is one of my favourite! *_* (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[It's so weird that Miles looks like Alex's old imaginary friend. (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Chapter 15: (view spoiler)[Now there are two of Miles? What even is this? (hide spoiler)]

[Sibil]

Abby wrote: "Chapter 15: [spoilers removed]"

Sometimes it can be confusing!

chapter 17-25 (view spoiler)[The thing are becoming really intersting with Miles' mom, McCoy past and the poor dead Scarlet! And Miles is so cute, in his own way :)
But I can't believe that she did it to Tucker!!!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Chapter 28: (view spoiler)[Still unsure of how I feel about Miles. He's a jerk half the time and half the time he's nice. (hide spoiler)]

[Sibil]

Abby wrote: "Chapter 28: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I'm liking him, but it's a character really hard to read :) (hide spoiler)]

finished(view spoiler)[ I'm happy to see that Miles and Tucker can go along well, or at least not bad. But I can't believe that Charlie is really dead! Ok, it's possible, but the author really heates Lexie!!!!But Miles is really great!
In the end I really don't understand why they are treating her like she is a psycho crazy, with handcuff and so on, and I don't like very much the ending, but I like the reading. It was intersting and it has some good point! (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Chapter 39: (view spoiler)[Ugh, I'm so mad at Celia for outing Alex to the entire school! How humiliating. :( (hide spoiler)]

[Sibil]

Abby wrote: "Chapter 39: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[It was a really mean thing to do! (hide spoiler)]

[Abby]

Finished: (view spoiler)[Wow what a ride! I figured that Charlie was a hallucination, because I was watching how each character interacted with others. It was clear to me that Alex was the only one who ever interacted with Charlie. Pretty messed up that her parents just played along with it though. How could you not tell your schizophrenic daughter that she's been seeing her dead sister for four years? That'll make her more messed up! (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Slow reading this book. (view spoiler)[I am enjoying Miles and Alex. bwahaha! dammmnnnn (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Chapter 16 - 21 (view spoiler)[For some reason, I adore Alex. Even if she's crazy and all.. I ship Alex and Miles. they're just a cute combination. (hide spoiler)]

[Sibil]

Beatrice wrote: "Chapter 16 - 21 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Me too, they are so cute together and Miles is so sweet, sometimes! (hide spoiler)]

Abby wrote: "Finished: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I didn't figured that Charlie was a hallucination and it was really bad when I discovered that she wasn't real!!! (hide spoiler)]

[Beatrice]

Just finished (view spoiler)[I got to say that I love it even if it has a slow burning pace. I ship Miles and Alex! I cried when Miles' mother got out of the hospital and when Alex found out Charlie wasn't real. (hide spoiler)]

I’ve got a bit behind - needed to get a particular letter done quickly. Going to start this early tomorrow (19th).

[Karen]

Just read the Prologue...mayhem, but she was trying to help the lobsters!

[Karen]

Up to ch4. I wanted to believe the lobster story. She’s very matter-of-fact about her schizophrenia, but isn’t Miles the same guy she hallucinated at the start? How do you keep a grip of what’s real?

[Karen]

Up to ch10. Some very strange vibes here. I’m exhausted by the description of how she has to get through the day.

[Karen]

Part one ends with the party. It started well, but her reaction at the end suggests she’s forgotten her medication and has started hallucinating more frequently.

[Karen]

Up to ch24. Can’t see why they all have such bad feelings towards Miles. Mystery regarding the Head and Celia.

[Karen]

Up to ch29. No closer to figuring it out. Nice to see Miles opening up a little.

[Karen]

Up to ch45. (view spoiler)[ How is she still walking? Convinced that python was a delusion, but it was real...how on earth would it survive so long? (hide spoiler)]
