This book has only been on my TBR shelf for like 10 years. It’s about time I finished it. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Lol

Well. Didn’t finish this by the end of the year. I got distracted by The Sims 4... whoops lol

The countdown has begun. I have every intention of finishing this today lol

I have two days to finish this and The Host. Yikes. Lol

It might have been a cruel thing to do to myself... reading about the hot desert when it feels like -2 degrees outside lol

“This place was truly the highest and the lowest of all worlds - the most beautiful senses, the most exquisite emotions... the most malevolent desires, the darkest deeds. Perhaps it was meant to be so. Perhaps without the lows, the highs could not be reached.”

I love the illustrations that are scattered through out this. This is a fun book. I'm going to have to get it for my nephew. :)

I love this lol

I just adore this. I'm definitely rereading the first book next month.

I need to finish The Host and Killman Creek before the end of the year. So what do I do? Get distracted, and read a cute middle grade book from the library. 🙄

Enjoying the alternating perspectives in this second book. Looking forward to how it all comes together compared to the first, which was only in Gwen's point of view.

I wasn't expecting to read this, but I found it on Book Outlet, and I couldn't help myself. I'm going to have to reread the first one. I'm enjoying the writing more with a physical book versus audio.

Now this should be a book I can fly through.

Trying to get back into this and finish before the end of the year.

I just want to know what really happened! What's the truth!

Oh my lord, this book is messed up. These characters! They make me feel like a saint!

I still find myself getting Beth and Liza mixed up. I'm sure that was the author's intent. I'm feeling like I'm losing my own mind while reading this!

Part of me really wants to try to hit 100 books this year, since I'm already at 80... But the logical part of me understands there is no way I will finish 20 books in 18 days... #thestruggle

I'm head bobbing. I don't think this is going to get finished tonight lol

Thoughts to myself: "I'll pick this up! It's only like 150 pages. I'll have it done in no time!" This was a false prediction. But I am enjoying it!

I like how real and unfiltered this is for a YA book.

I have two chapters left. I'm flying through this. Can't trust anyone. I don't even know how this is going to be any more suspenseful in the second book.

Well damn, if this book doesn't just make you distrust every single person... her paranoia is contagious!

Really loving this. Especially the friendships.

I definitely am reading too many books at one time to make any serious progress in one lol

Slowly going to make my way through this hunk of a book for the remainder of the year.

This definitely didn't "grab" me like I thought it was going to. I'll get around to finishing it this year at some point, but I'm reading a lot of other great books at the same time. *I may have a problem.*

This started off super weird, and I wasn't sure I was going to like it. Definitely had something to do with the labia talk... Yes, you heard me right. However, it's gotten a lot better, and I'm enjoying it more now that I'm farther in.

Because I don't have enough books on my currently reading shelf... and it's about damn time I read this book. It's only been on my shelf for 5+ years.
