I think this is one I might be joining in! anyone else reading with us? :)

I might be joining since this has been on my shelf for some time.

I read this earlier this year but I will be stalking your convos, to get back into it, so I can start the second one

Hahaha, I have done this so many times.

So far this book is okay for me. I'm not attached to a lot of the characters and there are a lot of things that confused me.

Yeah, I guess it's a slow start and due to soo many characters the book is confusing.

It has a nice concept, but I think it's the kind of book that I'd prefer if someone just told me the important parts instead of sitting down and reading it. I did enjoy parts of it, but as a whole it wasn't that special for me. Ofc i always like giving things second chances so I did pick the second one to see if it gets any better

There was a lot to take in. Hopefully things start to make more sense further on.

which part are you in now?

I had to DNF @52% sadly

Oh? DNF? That bad or content? I'm at the 22% mark. End of chapter 4.

for the most part I wasn't attached to the characters and it was so confusing, then something happened that was just a deal breaker for me around the 52% mark that I told myself I was going to put it down

I'll talk about it more when the schedule reaches that part hehe I don't want to spoil it and make it bad for you so just keep going and I hope enjoy it :)

Now I'm eager to discuss it. lol Something to look forward to.

Are we all past the the 50% mark? Because oh my gosh. Althea, I can see why you DNFed

HAHAHA what are your thoughts? hehe

Violet wrote: "Are we all past the the 50% mark? Because oh my gosh. Althea, I can see why you DNFed"

Now I can't remember what happened at 50% and you're making me wanna go back and check it out... Though I do have something in ming

I am going to try the audiobook for this again since everyone keeps talking about it.

I went ahead and finished the book. I'm not entirely sure what chapter the group should be at so I don't want to ruin anything. BUT! Around the 50% mark something incredibly stupid happens. I have a good idea why it happened but it felt random and dumb. I didn't like it. lol

Well, I think we're talking about the same thing XD

Katharine was honestly the only character I cared for.

LaNona wrote: "Katharine was honestly the only character I cared for."

almost everyone only cared for one character XD which is ironic because there were so many

Is anyone even reading this book?

@Althea when you said 52% of the book where you referring to Joseph and Mirabella
