[Vicki]

Trisha and I will be reading this much anticipated book and we'd love if you could join us.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

YAY!! So excited!!! Thanks for making the thread.

I've read about 100 pages of this but I plan to re-read

I honestly think we're going to love this one Vicki!!! :)

[Vicki]

Awesome! I'm excited, too! This has been a really good series!!

It was my pleasure to make this thread for us!

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

LOL I think I'll start this one tomorrow, after I finish Fury.

does that sound okay?

[Vicki]

I lost my NOOK but ended up calling the places we went yesterday so I wasn't able to read at all last night or most of today, so that's fine with me. :)

[Mandiann]

Woohoo!! I am joining you ladies!! Mine is due back at the library in five days. Will start tonight or tomorrow.

[Vicki]

Awesome!

I came home from work today and swiftly dozed off for over THREE hours! Guess I was tired. LOL I'll either start later tonight or tomorrow.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Well, I'm glad you got a nap, Vicki! You must have been tired for a 3 hour nap! LOL

YAY Mandiann!! yOu found the thread!! WOOHOO! :)

looks like I'll be starting in the AM. ugh, I am so behind in my books lol
but I just couldn't read much today, my oldest was home sick so we spent time together instead.... :)

Awe, I hope she feels better soon! You are such a good mother, Trisha. I love how you put your children first. :o)

[Mandiann]

Just finished ! Will start this today and will be at least a few chapters in by the time I get home from work.

[Vicki]

I have that book, Mandiann. I forgot all about it, so I'll have to read it soon.

[Mandiann]

It's pretty quick. Half of it is a sneak peek at this one so it looks longer than it is.

[Vicki]

Oh, okay. I'll read it today then.

ack! I didn't even know about that one! LOL
worked on the yard all day (I am scary sunburnt! UGH!)
so finishing up Fury, then I'll read Recovery and then starting this one! woohoo!

[Mandiann]

It is interesting and nicely different from The Program and The Treatment.

I am about halfway through chapter five.

Closers(view spoiler)[ poor Quinn. She is losing herself and can't remember which life experiences she had when she was herself and which she had while pretending to be someone else. What a terrible father she has, pushing her to to this and then ignoring all of the parameters that have been put in place for her protection. But I must say, I am curious to find out more about Pritchard. (hide spoiler)]

Closers[spoilers removed]"

Closers(view spoiler)[ Right?? Could you imagine? It would be tough to separate each family's grieving from how you feel
I can't imagine trying to remember who you are when you are SO many single persons to so many people. It's scary to imagine, right?? (hide spoiler)]

dad(view spoiler)[ I agree. it's painful how little regard he as for her - no break and back to back grieving families. how do you do that to someone?? (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

is about REALM!!! OH MY GOD!
I don't like him! LOL I hope this helps me understand him. I can't imagine liking him again though... :/

[Vicki]

Yes! That's what I said in my rating! I know more about him now.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

I'm done with Part I
10 chapters

I think(view spoiler)[ you can almost see right at the end.
she's cracking under the pressure of being too many different people too soon

she shouldn't be permanently changing her hair for people. Their therapy and their happiness is not her job.

ugh. so scary and so sad (hide spoiler)]

Deacon(view spoiler)[
I love his name. he's like her deacon light - showing her the way home
I really like him. even though he has commitment issues...I think he's just scared to love someone when he doesn't know who he is
and she doesn't know who she is
and I worry what he's doing....with all his spare time (hide spoiler)]

Marie(view spoiler)[ I can't imagine having her job either (hide spoiler)]

this one is so good.

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

sorry guys, I tried to come back a few times after I was done with Part II and goodreads wouldn't let me in

so, Comment on Part II is short

I don't know(view spoiler)[ what she was thinking when she kissed him.
I can't imagine how tough it must be to constantly feel unloved (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha, lives on coffee]

and I'm done

I can not wait for you guys to finish so we can talk about this

so(view spoiler)[ virginia. does that mean he started the program because his daughter was one of the first afflicted and she "spread" the suicide epidemic

or was Virginia an experiment too? (hide spoiler)]

and I can't believe(view spoiler)[ they experimented on Quinn. (hide spoiler)]

was it just me?? Did you totally shiver(view spoiler)[ when Isaac said Catarina said "handler"
I mean, Oh. My. Holy! Crap! (hide spoiler)]

but worst of all....worst by far(view spoiler)[ is deacon. I want to belive he loves her. Don't you??
but how could he? HOW COULD HE betray her like he has? working with pritchard without telling her? Just so he could have money.
I'm so mad at him (hide spoiler)]

oh my goodness this one is good!

[Mandiann]

I am also finished.

It was so surreal. I feel like if I were put in this situation, I would react like Angie. But I also feel that my mother would have (view spoiler)[ found solace in having someone to role play her deceased husband so "he" could tell her to move on and that he didn't blame her. Recently, my mother asked me to go with her to have a reading done with a psychic medium who claimed to be able to converse with the dead. It was strange but my mother believed that he was communicating with her dead husband and was able to let go of some of the guilt she had been carrying. So really, the idea of closers isn't that far fetched. (hide spoiler)]

At the end (view spoiler)[ OMG poor Quinn. She doesn't even have an identity left. No wonder her dead mother had black hair instead of blond. It must have been her real mother. (hide spoiler)]

I would have liked to know more about (view spoiler)[ Virginia, Arthur Pritchard and Quinn's real idenity. The author really left me feeling robbed and reeling. But I guess it was effective in displaying even a fraction of what Quinn must have felt upon finding out her whole life is a lie. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

I got behind, girls. Sorry but I will try to get it done.

[Mandiann]

It was good. I hope you like it.

[Vicki]

Thank you, Mandiann. :)

[Vicki]

I am SO behind! I am going to try to get back to this one ASAP!

[Mandiann]

LOL. I feel that way all the time.

[Vicki]

It's just a part of who I am now. LOL

[Vicki]

I am SO sorry for not getting on this one! I hope to start it tonight or this weekend.

[Vicki]

I STILL haven't gotten to this one. Ugh...I'm hoping to read in while on vacation.
