YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Liam James, boy next door and total douchebag, is my brother’s best friend. I can’t stand him. Well, that’s not strictly true, at night I see a side of him that no one else does. Every night Liam becomes my safe haven, my protector, the one to chase the demons of my abusive childhood away and hold all the broken pieces of me together.

He’s cocky, he’s arrogant, and he’s also some sort of playboy in training. With his ‘hit it and quit it’ mentality, he’s the last person you’d want to fall in love with. I only wish someone had told my heart that…

The international bestselling novel, and finalist of the Goodreads choice awards YA fiction 2012.

Ch. 1-8
(view spoiler)[This is a reread for me and I’m loving it again. Liam is super sweet and I’m just shocked how he kept his feelings a secret so long. Then again they didn’t do anything more than sleep, literally, so there wasn’t much time left for anything else lol.
I’m worried cause I don’t really remember the end at all, but I just have a bad feeling her dad is gonna come back. (hide spoiler)]

ch 7 (view spoiler)[ Kate is way irritating. Girls can sexually harass guys and it's unfair of Jake to have to put up with her, I mean she grabbed his dick! I'm glad Amber and Liam are together, she's kind of oblivious. (hide spoiler)]

Oh I didn't think about that! (view spoiler)[ He definitely might come back, hopefully Jake and Liam can protect her again, (hide spoiler)]

Her friend is so annoying. I would never invite her to my house if I had to constantly watch her flirt with my brother. And even worse it’s not like she was flirting more like throwing herself at him lol

Ch. 9-12
(view spoiler)[I’m so glad the brother knows, that was a whole awkward thing hiding it from him. Not to mention it was kind of rude when the two most important ppl in his life are together and keeping him in the dark. (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 13-20
(view spoiler)[I don’t think I’m liking the heroine all that much. I hate to speak negatively of her but she’s really like a tease, and this whole bet thing is not ok. Sure she should get that money but this while putting on an act thing especially during lunch was just wrong, not to mention, they’ve been dating a week. A single week. And as far as we know she never thought of him romantically once until now. She keeps telling him she won’t have sex with him and within days she’s getting the pill and wouldn’t you know having sex with him lol. She’s such a contradiction, I’m not loving her 😥 (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 22 (view spoiler)[Wait, tell me she isn’t this stupid, she can’t really go see her father?!? Wtf is wrong with her? Smh 🤬 (hide spoiler)]

Finished
(view spoiler)[Sooooooooo. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I really didn’t like this book lol. Gosh it was so damn cheesy and unbelievable. The heroine came off as a tease and a manipulator to me. The hero was too sweet and it bordered on creepy. The whole baby debacle was flippin ridiculous. Then we’re to believe she got slapped in the face, fell and lost the baby. Oh and then she blamed herself smh 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ It’s overly dramatic I just can’t lol (hide spoiler)]

Me too! (view spoiler)[ Keeping it from Jake wasn't nice and it was awkward. He deserved to know. I can't believe their dad would try to come back and apologize. No fucking way pal (hide spoiler)]

ch 12 (view spoiler)[ Glad Jake knows and he's not totally freaking out. And Liam told his parents and they're happy too. Fuck the dad, no way should he be allowed to come back. He's lucky he's not in prison (hide spoiler)]

ch 18 (view spoiler)[ Amber shouldn't have gone to the house, ugh, Fuck her dad. Amber is pretty immature with how she plays games at school with the other girls. Hopefully now that everyone knows she can stop with that. (hide spoiler)]

Yep I completely agree. Amber is irritating

❀ Crystal ✿ - wrote: "Ch. 22 [spoilers removed]"

I almost can't even listen to this I'm so angry (view spoiler)[ Seriously? She knows he's going to rape her or kill her and she goes alone still. What is wrong with you!!! (hide spoiler)]

❀ Crystal ✿ - wrote: "Finished

Yep. Super overdramatic and not great characters

finished (view spoiler)[ Ugh, I'm glad she lost the baby. They were both way too immature to care for one. This whole book was weird and too dramatic. 2 stars (hide spoiler)]
