YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Postcard-perfect Jar Island is the kind of place where nobody locks their doors at night, where parents can sleep easy, knowing their daughters are tucked away safe and sound in their beds.

But bad things can happen, even to good girls . . . and sometimes, the only way to make things right is to do something wrong.

Lillia used to trust boys, but not anymore. Not after what happened this summer. And she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her little sister from the same fate.

Kat is over the rumors, the insults, the cruel jokes made at her expense. It all goes back to one person--her ex-best friend. Someone needs to teach her a lesson, and, with Lillia and Mary behind her, Kat feels up to the task.

Four years ago, Mary left Jar Island because of a boy. But she’s not the same girl anymore. Now that she’s got friends who have her back, he's going to be in big trouble.

Three very different girls who come together to make things right. Will they go too far?

Sapir and i will be reading this on may the 25th. Everyone is welcome to join! :)

I'll keep this topic in mind, because I really want to read this book with you, however I'm not sure I'll have time with my exams coming but I'll try to be there for this buddy read!

Yay I'm excited!!! It's going be a great way to celebrate the end of my finals :))
It's okay Clare!! I hope you join us anyway!

I'll join this one. I'm free to read yay

That's great!!!!

I begin this book this afternoon bc I'll be busy during the week! so, yeah, I'm 35% throught it and it's great so far.

from chapter 1 to chapter 13:
(view spoiler)[
I haven't read the synopsis so I didn't know what to expect. but, that's GREAT so far!I thought I was going to read few chapters and put it down as I used to these days but hell no. I'm deep down into the story even if only 35% into it. I can't help but love Kat and her character. Lillia and Mary are great too, but Kat stay my fav. and Alex... he seems to be a total asshole but I can't help I LOVE HIM.
So now, let's pass onto serious stuff. I feel like Mary is a little bit left out compared to Kat and Lillian.. hope we will discover a link between all of them bc I feel bad for her. And, I was scared to be confused by three different pov in one book, but in fact, it's all good.. let's keep it that way! (hide spoiler)]

Starting this now. ^^

I'm going to start later today :)

I'll be starting later too. :)

Lol that was just the prologue. How will I remember all these names?? ;)

I thought the same but in fact you get used to it! (well I did) I'm 65% throught it will updated my thoughts soon!

chapter 13 to chapter 25
(view spoiler)[ it's pretty fast to get into the story and into revenge! thanks god! but I still feel like mary is left out bc of kat and lillia's past friendship, and so I hope she'll get a bigger revenge than the two other girls because she deserves it more.
I feel sorry about Alex because he's so cute and I'm sure the story with Nadia is a misunderstanding...(ok, let's hope for this one)
I'm asking until where Kat is capable to go in this revenge thing.. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 1-8 - (view spoiler)[At first, these names that were so many were making my head hurt but I got used to it.

Hmm I think something happened between Alex and Nadia.

Rennie is just plain mean.

And Mary, I don't know why she's so hung up on Reeve. He's a jerk. (hide spoiler)]

Starting now. :)

Chapter 3 - (view spoiler)[ Rennie is horrible. (hide spoiler)]

Margarita wrote: "Chapter 1-8 - "

(view spoiler)[ It was a bit confusing at first! I agree, Rennie is horrible.
(hide spoiler)]

Chapter 13 - (view spoiler)[ This is such a cliche story but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. It's entertaining. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I know! Attempted suicide? It must have hurt her so badly. (hide spoiler)]

finished
(view spoiler)[ what the hell? the end is so fucking lame. I'm dissapointed... (hide spoiler)]

clare wrote: "finished
[spoilers removed]"

The ending is so weird! Was not needed at all.

I think (view spoiler)[ I think Mary is sick or something. Some kind related to trauma maybe so she must be imagining things? THE PARANORMAL THING JUST DIDN'T FIT. (hide spoiler)]

Abbie wrote: "The ending is so weird! Was not needed at all."
not at all yeah....


(view spoiler)[I think the paranormal is too much because except for 2 little moments, it wasn't paranormal at all and we were fine like this. it chocked me. ugh. maybe you are right Margarita but why does it appear now? just the fact of seeing Reeve again make her feel this way? frustrating! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ the paranormal thing turns up in the second book towards the end as well. (hide spoiler)]

I'll start this later ^.^

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[The authors sure throw all the characters and relationships at you at once so pay attention! lol. Interesting triangle so far ... more like a hexagon haha. I really like Kat so far, I like her attitude and her fight, and I like the narrator's voice that does her chapters. Can't stand womanizer Alex and I feel so bad for what Reeve did to Mary when they were younger! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[Rennie is SUCH A HORRIBLE FRIEND! She KNEW Lillia didn't want to lose her virginity like that, she KNEW Lillia was beyond drunk, she knew they'd never see these boys again, and she just let it happen! "Don't worry" "He used a condom" "You're fine" "You were having fun" (hide spoiler)]

I'm getting a very John Tucker Must Die kind of vibe so far!!

I love that film so I'm really enjoying this book so far!! Hopefully get finished tonight!

Chapter 21 (view spoiler)[alright so they've caused a sunburn so far... I'm waiting for them to publicly release one of his private poems lol. Right now they're playing Spin The Bottle and Lillia is trying her best to act normal. Kudos to her! She has successfully been acting normal around Rennie, Nadia, and Alex, along with all their friends. (hide spoiler)]

So we have Revenge number 1? (view spoiler)[ Do they release the poems?? (hide spoiler)]

Just finished.

(view spoiler)[ SO GOOD SO GOOD

I LOVED THE ENDING WHEN REEVE RECOGNISED MARY THEN COLLAPSED

BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND

like why did everything short circuit? does Mary have like super powers or something? idk????

Either way definitely a favourite!

I think Kat's narrative was my favourite overall. She had such a can do personality. (hide spoiler)]

Finished Chapter 31 (view spoiler)[drug him!?! That's ... a big deal ... I'm not sure how I feel about this lol!! I feel SOO bad for what happened to Mary!! Didn't see that extent of bullying coming. (hide spoiler)]
