I agree! This book is definitely very unique already and it's refreshing! I just read the prologue and the first chapter. I really am enjoying how it's written, it's easy to read but it helps paint a picture.

I also keep finding myself turning back to look at the front cover because it's SO BEAUTIFUL!

I just finished the fifth chapter! I am loving it, the writing style is so unique and different I am flying through it. Also Jack and Viviane are adorable! I am curious to see Ava's character though, I wonder if we start seeing her character soon? I can't wait to read more!

What chapter do you want to read to tomorrow? (:

5 chapters is perfect! But don't feel like you have to hold back because of me, you can continue reading if you are enjoying it!

So I've read up to chapter 13! I loving it!!! I love the imagery, the descriptions, the characters!! Oh my gosh the characters! Nathaniel was just introduced and I can't wait to learn more about him! I hope him and Ava become close! Oh gosh.. I might read more tonight but I will try to hold myself back!

I loved that paragraph!! I remember reading it over a second time. It's beautiful and tragic how both Emilienne and Vivianes love life's are turning out.

I have also read through chapter 17, it was the first thing I did this morning. I couldn't help myself!

Let me know when you have read it! (:

No it has to end happy! Gabe needs to come back! And I am getting kind of a creepy vibe from Nathanial, but hopefully we learn more about him. I could probably finish the book today.. If you are up for that! But if you don't have time we could read 5 more chapters. (:

I just finished 18 and everything is crazy! I do feel like everything is just going to combust and fall apart! I am scared and excited for the ending of this book


Olivia (liv2821) | 242 comments Mod
Lol okay! I have about 40 pages left, I will let you know when I finish!


Olivia (liv2821) | 242 comments Mod
I just finished!

I cant stop smiling... that was way better than I thought it would be.. I am in shock, I'm so happy, I'm sad, I HAVE SO MANY EMOTIONS RIGHT NOW!

I LOVED the way that this story was told, through the family tree. But it was told in the perspective of Ava, I really enjoyed that!

That ending was so dramatic and I think the whole time we knew that something crazy was going to happen but WOW. I was not expecting that. I mean, I knew that Nathaniel was a little bit crazy but that whole chapter was just so intense.

I wish this author had more books out ): I believe that this is her first work! But I will eagerly wait until she comes out with more.

I am happy that we buddy read this one as well! That's what I love about Buddy reading, you have someone to talk to about everything that is happening! We should buddy read again sometime! I have so many books on my TBR, ugh.

And yes I thought that all of the minor characters were very interesting and i loved how we got to learn more about them in different chapters, it was genius!
