#SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE READ-A-LONG discussion

So, have we had any fangirling moments as of the late? How do you about the love triangle in this book?

How do you feel about love triangles in general?

Wait... HAS SOMETHING EXHILARATING HAPPENED? I WOULDN'T KNOW - I HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK YET!
BUT IF SO, RELEASE YOUR FEELS!

Maxon is the epitome of all things fangirls swoon over! He may not be the bad boy type, which is a definite cliché in young adult books for provoking young girls to fall in love with the character, but I LOVE that Maxon is sweet, caring, humorous, and gentle. OMG! When Maxon kissed America and suddenly got uncomfortable because he thought he did it terribly, I was literally gushing! In fact, that entire scene on the balcony was perfection.

I am Team Maxon. Absolutely. Irrevocably. DO NOT TRY TO SWAY ME!
However, I cannot say much about the love triangle yet in the book because, although it is evident that there will be one, I don't believe we've learned enough about Aspen. Like you said before, it was mainly romantic bits that were described. Aspen is undeniably responsible and kind-hearted, but I want to see America and Aspen's relationship beyond the kissing and snuggling.

I don't have a problem with love triangles if they are done well. However, if it is drawn out despite the fact that the choice is obvious... *cough, cough* Twilight *cough*... than it usually becomes irritable for me. Love triangles such as in The Infernal Devices are well-constructed because you are rooting for both boys and you want them both to be happy, so it really hard to select a team.

Hmm... Do I have any last comments? Oh yeah. ASPEN IS IN THE BIG HOUSE! OH DEARY DEAR!
I found it funny how America was all of sudden "I want to touch him, kiss him..." when literally a few pages ago she was like "I need to forget him. Aspen NO MORE!" So much for that train of thought! xD

oh yes xD
i really like the relation between maxon and america because well they actually have a relation they talk and fight and have theirnlittle signs together and respect each other and actually think about what the other one says
while with aspen my thoughts havent changed yet i still miss any connection to his relation to america telling me a billion times how much she loves him and that they kiss will not make me root for him
so far aspen seems just like the obvious guy who outs himself down because he leaks in money

i am interested though in the future chapters and how everything will wrap up for the first one

marlee as mentioned earlier is still a fishy charater i really dont know what her intentions are

is it just me or do you confuse the other girls as well maybe its jut me and my lack of remembering names xD
besides of marlee celetpste and the three maids i just mix the rest of the girls xP

yeah i am on TEAM MAXON if it wasnt obvious enough xP

i am ok with a well done love triangle aka the ifernal devices or inuyasha (do you know this anime?)
but if itntunr out to be anything close to twilight i will be MAAAD ... not really but it w8uld be kind of annoying xP
