Trisha, What did you think of Still Alice?

Ugh, I thought it was just heartbreaking but such a wonderful book. I'm recommending my mom read it too. I think she will just love it.

such a beautiful but tough story! I'm so glad I finally read it! did you love it too?

How did you like Insurgent? And congrats!

Jacquelyn wrote: "How did you like Insurgent? And congrats!"

You know, I liked it...because I like Tobias. But I do not do not do not like Tris. I dislike her even more after this one. It was painful to read her....

but, if you loved divergent, then I say go for it!! It was interesting to see where the story went.

Yeah, overall I liked Insurgent but I think Tris was just way to annoying and it felt like she was always complaining.
