Des’s comments from the CKBC group.

I finished this book fairly quickly. Even though like others said the plot and outcome were somewhat predictable it was interesting enough to keep me reading. With that being said I enjoyed the book and the different points of view. At first I thought it would get confusing and trip me up but that wasn't the case at all. As someone else mentioned, I also would have liked another Lila chapter just to get her side of what happened in the cave.

Hello. I'm Desiree, or Des. I can be found at starbar.tumblr.com among many places. Favorite book(s) are the Harry Potter series, and it's become more special now that my 11 y/o has gotten into them. We read and talk about them together. Beside this month's book I'm reading Empress by Shan Sa, and well it's taking forever because I just can't get into it.

Random fact: As a kid I swore I was a mermaid and was just waiting for the day my tail would appear so I can swim away. As an adult I still swear I'm a mermaid at times.

Outside of reading and tumblr I'm an advocate for children with special needs, emotional, behavioral, and mental health needs. I also go to school part time for nursing and am a mother of 4 handsome boys (I just had my 4th this past March 24th).

I'm excited to be a part of this book club and look forward to lots if good reads and discussions.
