YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Amber Walker and her older brother, Jake, have an abusive father. One night her brother's best friend, Liam, sees her crying and climbs through her bedroom window to comfort her. That one action sparks a love/hate relationship that spans over the next eight years. Liam is now a confident, flirty player who has never had a girlfriend before. Amber is still emotionally scarred from the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father. Together they make an unlikely pair. Their relationship has always been a rocky one, but what happens when Amber starts to view her brother's best friend a little differently? And how will her brother, who has always been a little overprotective, react when he finds out that the pair are growing closer? Find out in The Boy Who Sneaks In My Bedroom Window.

The Boy Who Sneaks in My Bedroom Window by Kirsty Moseley will be our second GBR (first indie GBR) for October 2015.

Joining

I've read every book this author has written (including this one) ever since I was introduced to her almost 3 years ago on Wattpad.

Her books can be really cheezy sometimes but they have their sweet moments. This, according to me, is one of her good ones.

Update: It isn't.

would like to join please.

You're quite welcome ☺

Is this for free anywhere? Can't seem to find it

I'm starting early!

Finished chapter 1
(view spoiler)[It's horrifying to think that there are kids who actually have to like with father's like him. He's a disgustingly repulsive man and someone needs to get rid of people like him. But their mom isn't doing anything! Why?! (hide spoiler)]

25% done
Has the writing always been this... not good and I just didn't notice before? That's probably the case. It's been ages sinse I last read.
And while I like sweet characters and sweet scenes, some things in this book are cringe worthy.

30% done
Correction. Many of the things are very cringle worthy. I think the cliche/corny-ness and the over-dramatazing of everything might actually kill me.

50%
(view spoiler)[The simple "I like making you breakfast" was so cute! And then the 'Angel' story killed it(not in a good way). I expected to feel nostalgic while I read this book. I don't feel nostalgic. (hide spoiler)]

The End
(view spoiler)[While the Epilogue was cute, I don't think I can get over the fact that they asked him to leave town. He left town before and remarried and started abusing his new wife and kids just like with Amber and her family. What's to say he won't do it a third time? How could they just let him go?

I can understand them not wating anything to do with him but knowing that he would just hurt somone else, how does a person live with knowing they're letting it happen? He deserves to be punished. (hide spoiler)]

This book was a train-wreck. Gave it 1.5 Stars.
Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

13% (view spoiler)[ Aww, this is so cute. Though what is up with guys being hot and cold all the time. I know Liam has feelings for Amber (hide spoiler)]

50% (view spoiler)[ Wow Amber is getting confident and I am so glad Jake accepted Liam and her relationship. I think he realised there was nothing he could do without it (hide spoiler)]

72% (view spoiler)[ Has their father really changed? I find that hard to believe. And is Johnny putting on a act (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ The ending was so sweet. I want someone to propose to me like that! I want that love and I am so glad everything worked out (hide spoiler)]

5% (view spoiler)[ her friends are nuts. if she fancied her brother that would be totally wrong! (hide spoiler)]

5% (view spoiler)[ she hates him she says, but she sleeps with him every night! I mean what?! (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "5% [spoilers removed]"

Really wrong!

Sarah wrote: "5% [spoilers removed]"

Weird.

Can i join in :)

Sarah wrote: "5% [spoilers removed]"

do i downlaod the book from amazon.? :)

Yes ☺

This is pretty boring.

Sarah wrote: "Yes ☺"

Thank you :) getting it now.

16% (view spoiler)[ okay, I like Liam and I like the romance, but I'm not quite so keen on the lapses in tense, one second she's talking in past tense and the next in present tense! (hide spoiler)]

Abbie wrote: "This is pretty boring."

I quite like the romance ☺

17% (view spoiler)[ what an idiot! she thinks he hooked up with someone else other than her?! when?! (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "Abbie wrote: "This is pretty boring."

I quite like the romance ☺"

The romance is pretty cute, but the story seems a bit slow.

chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ right, change of point of view, but the tense is all messed up 'I had been with Amber for a week now.'
past tense, present tense. (hide spoiler)]

Just started, wow! What a horrible family life, this will be interesting, because my kids are only 13 months apart and it is a big rule that they do not date one another's friends, it was attempted once, and disastrous!

OK, this is not an American author, and the book takes place in America, but she keeps saying proper kiss, nobody says that here ;-)
Chapter 5(view spoiler)[ just thinking big brother not going to like little sister dating best friend, also I'm just finding it a little weird that he has slept with her for the last eight years, just a little. Also I like how mom is conveniently away at all times (hide spoiler)]

OK little things are bugging me, we don't have lounges, we have living room or family room, you don't watch football matches you watch football games,
Chapter 8(view spoiler)[ I totally get the relationship between Liam and Amber, but it is really such a betrayal of Jake and that is bothering me, for sure! (hide spoiler)]

I didn't buy this book to be so that there were a few cringe worthy moments and a lot of it was corny and she used the phrase he smiled happily wait to many times I like that the guy in the girl got together it didn't break up the whole book and some of the scenes it worth it that way too unrealistic but overall I thought it was a pretty good book

I think she should have had an American look it over!

83% (view spoiler)[ so when is the fact that she's only 16 going to brought up? Shouldn't Liam be charged with statutory rape? (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "83% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I didn't think about that! Is it bad that I don't really want him going to prison. (hide spoiler)]

Mystery wrote: "Sarah wrote: "83% [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I wouldn't really want him to go to prison either, but he still broke the law. I mean it would ruin his hockey career. (hide spoiler)]
