Not really loving this one yet.

This is incredibly addicting.

Wish I could finish this tonight because I'm loving it but I'm exhausted.

I actually kind of liked Jack up until this moment. Now he just feels sleazy.

I'm having such a hard time keeping everyone and what side they're on straight. I need to start paying more attention.

This feels so different from Ruggle's other books. It's so slow and I don't really get the connection between the main characters at all. There's barely any chemistry and John has shown almost zero personality so far. And even the sisters don't play much of a role except as something else for Molly to worry about. I'm pretty disappointed at this point. Hopefully things will turn around soon.

Still not sure how I feel about this one. Maybe something will happen soon and change my mind.

"...what a person knows about the past is limited, and will always be limited, to what they are told by others."

This is so good!!

WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?!?!?!?! I'm pretty sure this book is slowly trying to kill me. Does anything good happen ever? I'm not sure I'm going to trust the 'most popular' lists anymore if they're all this depressing.

Why do so many people love such depressing books?

50 pages left and the husband has to go to sleep. Too bad I don't have this on my Kindle.

But overall, pleasantly surprised with this so far, especially since this isn't a genre I read often. Predictable but an easy read that's kept my attention. Hoping for a big bang at the end!

I strongly dislike it when grown people call their parents mommy and daddy.

The first several stories moved really quickly but this one is so slow and I really don't care for it. Going to try again tomorrow but I might just skim the rest of it if it doesn't pick up at all.

I'm not loving this one and I'm so sad about it! Kasie West is usually an easy favorite for me but I'm not really feeling anything from any of these characters. They're all pretty bland and there's no chemistry between any of them. I'm still hoping something exciting will happen to change all of that but I'm pretty sure this one won't end up on any of my favorites lists.

I know she doesn't think anyone actually watched Freaks and Geeks while it was on but I did. It was my senior year in high school and I watched every episode on a tiny TV in my kitchen while my mom was watching something else on the main TV. I loved that show. I think the main problem was never really knowing when it would be on or not because the schedule was a mess.

So excited to finally be reading this!! And of course it's amazing so far.

I'm still waiting for Min's story to get interesting and to actually be about her. It's mostly just her being used and then whining about being used. She's very young and a pawn in all of these games. So unless something changes soon, this isn't really a sisters fighting for the crown story, it's just a stolen crown situation.

The book definitely slows down during Min's chapters for me.
