Trisha | 30284 comments ooooooooooooooooohhhh.....are we ready for this one tomorrow/?!?!!?!?

do we have a chapter goal or check in hope?

looks like we have 35 chapters + epilogue.

so 5 chapter style should work well, if we want to do that!


Becky (booklovingcoffeeaddict) | 4889 comments I am read, book is in my car waiting and I'm good to go. 5 chapter style is fine with me! :-) I'll check back before it starts, to see if it was changed for any reason.

Happy Reading!


Kathy | 7669 comments Yep 5 chapters sounds good to me! :)

What did you think overall? I wasn't expecting what I got at all, BUT what I got was so much more that I was expecting. It was amazing. I loved it. I gave it 5*.


Kathy, if you feel divine intervention now, wait til you get to the end. Truly amazing!
