#readathon I'm addicted. But also raging at these stupid male cops who won't even listen to Kit. I'm also really enjoying Wes. I hope this won't be quite as predictable as I think it's going to be.

I'm starting to get a little tired of Shade and how repetitive he's being.

I really dislike it when books jump from first person to third person.

I didn't realize that this would have such a strong religious themes.

This pastor is a really bad listener. I feel like the main conflict (when it happens) could probably have been resolved if they had all just listened when he wanted them to. But we'll see. Maybe I'm wrong...

What is this book? Seriously. What the hell is happening right now? I think this author needs to work on his pacing a little bit.

This narrator is way too stupid and dramatic. Do people actually like him? I can't stand him.

This. Is. So. Boring.

I think I have enough backstory now. I'm ready for things to happen. I'm also pretty sure they've introduced every single person living in Singapore. I'm having a really hard time keeping everyone straight and remembering who is related to whom and how. The family tree helps but it's a little hard to read in the ebook.

I can't get over how naive Nick is being about Rachel meeting his family and how Rachel has gone two years and never thought to ask Nick about his family or his past? Otherwise, I'm really enjoying this.

There is a lot going on in this book and I honestly don't know how I feel about any of it yet.

I want to like this but it feels exactly like a YA version of Wild. An emotional, lost, & extremely unprepared woman goes hiking on a long trail w/a very heavy pack & ill-fitting boots. Sub the PCT for the JMT, a mom for a cousin & an addiction to drugs & sex for Instagram likes & you get this book. If you loved Wild & want to share it w/your kids, try this one. But I'll keep reading in case I'm wrong in the end.

I like this but am a little tired of the ridiculous wedding problems. They aren't funny anymore & are just taking time away from the Grant family & what I assume are great characters, if we'd only get some time w/them. It's almost like The Family Stone meets Father of the Bride where every single thing goes wrong. Plus, I really don't like this Jesse thing. It's just another distraction from the actual good stuff.

I'm really trying to get through this but I'm so bored.

Finally have some real time to read and am so excited to be diving into this one!!!! I love this series so much and am both thrilled and sad to be reading the final book.

Looking forward to Zorie and Lennon getting lost (or whatever happens that ends with them being alone) because Reagan is horrible and I just want to punch her all the time. And Brett is super annoying, too. I knew so many guys like him in high school and college.

I was a little afraid of the hype for this one but so far it is justified. This is so good! I hope it keeps up. I'm not a huge fan of the quest-on-a-very-limited-timetable trope but the writing is beautifully done and I can't seem to put this book down.
