Trisha, I didn't see this darn it! I want to read it between now and the 18th lol. Are you still open to BR it? LOL Or did you already read it?

Lisa how about you? Have you read it?

okay, so I won't be starting this one today but I aim to start it tomorrow. I'm hoping to get 1/2 way through book 1 today and then finish it tomorrow to start this one

:) I can't wait!

I'll have to go to B&N to buy my copy or get in for my NOOK. So mad at myself! Lol

I'm so sorry I haven't started this one yet kathy
I really hope to get book 1 done tomorrow so I can start this one :)

It's ok! I have been trying to get caught up myself so no worries! :)

I STILL don't have my book. :o( Has anyone else started it?

Yes, I'm sorry. I'm 10 chapters in

I'm so sorry you don't have it yet Vicki :(

I haven't started yet! I had to got called into work today.

What happened with your copy? :(

Well, brainiac me inadvertently ordered Just One Day & I got it Saturday and realized it was the wrong book. Then the library was closed Sunday & Monday, so I looked at their website & couldn't find it. So after work today I went and the librarian ordered from some library not in our system and said it'll take about 7 days.

Saturday when I realized my error I went to B&N and was going to just buy it but they didn't have it either. If I ordered it, it was going to take a week to ten days.

Bottom line is I screwed up! :(

I've been TRYING to use my library and quit buying every single book I read, because that's what I was doing. Lol Literally!

Oh no! Well, I need to finish one and then I will start this one. We can take it slow if you want! Hope you get it soon! :D

You girls go ahead and enjoy reading it together. I'll let you know when I get it, but you'll probably be done by then.

You can post if you want to and we can discuss with you as you're reading or when you're done. :)

Thanks Kathy!! :)

My school just got this book a week or two before Christmas break and I got it and it was amazing. I can't say anything else

Marybeth, did you read book one for school? Did you read it in class or borrow it from the library? What grade are you in?

Vicki wrote: "Thanks Kathy!! :)"

I'm still hoping you will get it though! *crossing my fingers*

You're welcome! :D

Just finished chapter 17

ugh...it is absolutely PAINFUL to know (view spoiler)[ that he went to Cancun to try to find her.
that he - am I jumping to conclusions here - bumped into her old best friend who was so drunk at the bar area down by the pool. Didn't she stay in that night?

ugh, so sad how close they were and they just...missed each other. (hide spoiler)]

but it warms my heart (view spoiler)[ that he's trying to hard to look for her. Yay! (hide spoiler)]

but I'm scared....(view spoiler)[ who was the girl at the play at the end of book one that brought the flowers and he had his arm around her?!?! *sigh* THis had BETTER have a happy ending! LOL! (hide spoiler)]

OMG Trisha! You're killing me! Lol I wan to read your spoilers so badly!

ahahahah!!! LOL! I tried to leave you teasers :D I can't wait for you to read it

Me too! I could buy the ebook but it's $10.99...I'm getting weaker! Lol

25 chapters
*sigh* I'm liking it but I'm getting (view spoiler)[ a little bogged down in his odd life and accidents and his mom issues

ready for more searching and *sigh* finding :) (hide spoiler)]

I'll start tomorrow! I'm wanting to read the spoilers too! :D

And I'm done!!

I did really love it! (view spoiler)[ I just wish at least 1/2 of the book was AFTER they met back up! *sigh* it was great getting to know Willem though (hide spoiler)]

I hope you guys love it too!!

I got books on at the library, so cross your fingers this is one that came in!

oooh!! Fingers crossed!!!

I started this one this morning!

I'm liking Willem's POV so far! I like that it started right where Just One Day left off!

I'm at work today so I will post again when I get home! :D

what....where Just One Day left off?

It should be starting..in the hospital, no?

Okay, I don't remember any hospital. LOL Refresh my memory, please.

in the beginning of book 2....Willem should wake in a hospital.....it's the reason he didn't make it back to Lulu

But it didn't end like that in book 1, did it? Haha! I already forgot.

no...it ended with him opening the door to Allyson and her say "Hi, I'm Allyson" and then him opening it wider and letting her in

*sigh* the end to book one was great.

but it's NOT where book 2 stars....
that was my main gripe. Book 2 is just book 1 told from Willem POV except it starts from when they separate - she wakes up alone in the loft
he wakes up in the hospital

Oops!!! lol!

Sorry! Sorry! You know the 'go by what I mean, not what I say' thing? Invoke that here. lol!

I meant where she left him and his story would begin!

I'm 10 chapters in and I miss Lulu! (view spoiler)[ I feel so bad for Willem! He's just so sad without her and I miss her like he does! (hide spoiler)]

I have to go read some of my other books. I'll read more on this one later! :D

I still don't have my copy. :(

YES Kathy! I missed Lulu is this one too, but Willem is GREAT to get to know :D

I'm so sorry Vicki
You'll get it soon and then we can chat :)

Yes! I love getting to know Willy! lol!

I'm sorry too Vicki! I hope you get it soon! :)

Thank you girls :)
