What did you think of the book? Did you like how the book ended? Do you think that Cat and Patrick became closer friends after he got out of the hospital? How do you think Patrick dealt with Beef dying? Feel free to post your own questions and/or comments here about the book.

I liked the book it was so amazing, but I did not like the end because it left you to wonder. When it ended I was wondering what happened between Cat and Jason. I was also left wondering about Patrick and how he delt with evrything. I think that he took it hard because he loved Beef even with what beef did to him. If it would have had something more at the end it i would have liked it a lot. :)

Its hard to keep following her point of view i just want to see partrick pov.

I agree that they should have put patricks point of view at the end it would have been really cool.

I thought the book was okay. I did like how the book ended because it was not expected. I believe Cat and Patrick got closer because during Patrick's hospitalization, Cat realized how much she took his friendship for granted. Patrick will probably be traumatized from the whole experienced, but Cat's friendship will comfort him.

the book was good but then i got bored of it.

I agree with both of you Marriah and Angie, I would have liked to find out more of what Patrick thought. After everything that happened at the end of the book I was wondering how he felt.

Why did you get bored?

I agree that the ending was unexpected. I like that the author surprised the reader at the end.

Question for week of October 17, 2012:

Do you think that he was more hurt that someone would betray him like that? Or do you think he was more upset about the fact that someone he really cared about had died? Make at least one prediction about what happened to Patrick once he got out of the hospital.

I think that at the end of the book Patrick would have been more upset about Beef dying then what he did to him. Patrick loved Beef and i believe no matter what Beef would have done to him Patrick would have still loved him and tried to be with him. I think that after Patrick got out of the hospital cat and him became closer and that he was very depressed about beef dying.

what i like about the book was that the girl was gonna find the person who beat her friend patrick up. and shes finding out who was the one that did it to him.
