[Trisha, lives on coffee]

Please join Michelle and I if you can!

[Michelle]

Thanks for making the thread!

[Grace Meredith]

I'll try to join you, but... I might not be able to get it in time.

[Michelle]

You can take a week or so then read it. Someone will be here to discuss with you.

[Vicki]

I ordered the book, too, but it has to come from somewhere within our system. I might or might not be able to join, but I'm trying. It'll obviously be later though.

[[deleted user]]

I'm looking forward to joining in on this one :)

[Michelle]

Vicki, hopefully you can join us!

Missy, welcome!

[Vicki]

Thank you, Michelle.

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I will join. I will be a day or two late though.

[Leah]

I'll read this with you too.

[Michelle]

Hannah, it is ok if you join a couple days later but welcome.

Leah welcome as well.

[Leah]

I started this today, and I'm in part two. So far, I really like it.

[Vicki]

My book arrived today but I wasn't home in time to pick it up, so I'll not be able to start it until Monday.

[Michelle]

I will be starting this today. I just wanted to finish reading another book.

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I'm up to page 215. So far I like it. It is a lot to handle at times. People are so cruel in this book. Elias' mom is terrible. I just want to punch her in the face.

[Leah]

There aren't many people in this book that I like, but she is one of a couple that I really don't like.

[Michelle]

The beginning is sad already. :( I can tell I am going to have a lot of feels when reading this book.

[Vicki]

I ran into the same problem yesterday so I wasn't able to pick up my book. I WILL get it today!!!

[☆☆Hannah☆☆, The Book Junkie]

I'm finished. This book overall was good. Nothing good really happens. Everything in their lives are just sad and horrible. That makes it hard to fall in love with a book. I need happiness in my books. I hope the rest of you enjoy it.

[Vicki]

I JUST got my book! LOL But I don't see any posts or discussions about it so maybe not everyone has started yet.

[Michelle]

I have started but I am a little slow right now. I will be reading a lot tomorrow.

[Vicki]

Thanks, Michelle. I'm reading a few books right now so I'll be slow.

[Michelle]

It's totally fine. I have been behind on buddy reads for a while now. I am slowly catching up.

[Vicki]

Sounds like most of us avid readers are behind. LOL

[Michelle]

As long as we keep reading. :)

[Vicki]

That is exactly right. LOL

[Leah]

I finished this book too, and my emotions were all over the place. I really liked the ending, but I was hoping for more closure.

[Michelle]

I finished this last night. I loved it. I am super excited for the sequel. (view spoiler)[ I was really hoping for no cliffhanger ending but I was sad to have one. At least there is a sequel. I was getting towards the end and was like they haven't broken Darin out yet. Then when there was only 15 pages left I just knew. :( (hide spoiler)]
