hey! I will be ready next week... let me know when you want to start... :)
I guess next Monday if that's alright with you
sure! but did you not just read it a few days ago - I just saw your review ? you wanna read it again ?! :)
I did read it; but I'm up for re reading it feel like I probably missed some things because I was rushing to read it
sure ! let's do it on Monday then, too !
started reading this morning! so far sounds like non-violent Hunger Games, lol :)
Ok finished! Umm yeah , I didn't realize tht this would be quite so unfinished - i mean i knew there were followup books, but i thought that a girl would be selected in this one and the other books would be about something/ someone else...Anyways- i liked it , but found it a bit immature. I found that America jumped to conclusions about Astor - just because he held someone's hand .. But was then very quick to make out with the prince every chance she got.. That seems a bit hypocritical... Of course - at the end we have a love triangle...
The whole selection process was much like the Bachelor , and i wish we got more details on his dates with the other girls. Like - how did they get along, what did they talk about , did they have "chemistry"?! Etc...
Yes, America wasn't very "loyal" to Astor but admittedly if the guy I loved broke up with me the day before and then I saw him holding someone else's hand it would probably be natural to jump to conclusions.I'm kind of glad that a girl wasn't picked, I would rather read finish reading about America and her family and see what happens between her and Astor. The selection isn't at the top of my favorites list but I did like the parts where the girls kind of formed alliances even though they were supposed to be against each other
yes - that's true - i liked that they made friends and (a few of them) held together even though they were competing against each other ! That was cute!
im ok to do the next book at some point if you want to do it together ?
Yeah that would be great, I haven't gotten around to reading that one yet
