Tanya (xallroyx21) | 55 comments I am doing multiple challenges in 2015 so I am trying to find books I have that crossover. This one fits the bill and I have been wanting to read it. I'll still be on break when 2015 starts so I have time to get into it.


message 2: by Jessica (new)

Jessica (jollybookshelf) Multiple challenges? Wow! You're a serious reader :) Welcome to the group


Tanya (xallroyx21) | 55 comments First 25 pages seemed to take forever, but maybe because I was tired. 100 pages in and it's moving faster.


Tanya (xallroyx21) | 55 comments Finished after a couple of hours of reading-good one! Glad I read it and ready for week two!

I just finished this one too - loved it, and it did not look like so when I was starting to read it. I have to admit I sped-read first pages, then got into it and felt like I have to re-read the ones I sped-read :) and usually that does not happen to me :)
what at first had irritated me - all the different point of views, angles of the story - it proved to be very helpful as I was reading, found I could not wait for some things to be better explained as the story goes :)
and the ending even though kind of too-sweet yet that's what I was expecting and hoping for. great read! I got this book as a Christmas gift from my Hubby - am I ever happy :)

and I did not expect I'd find anyone reading it :)

as to the challenges I do 2: this one and "to read 100books in 2015" :) will see :D


Erica | 214 comments I just started this one for Week One. Hopefully I'll love it too!


Erica | 214 comments It took me a long time to get into this (I didn't really like the first "autobiography" chapter written by Patty because of her rambling writing style), but the book grew on me and I enjoyed it, but didn't love it.
