Soooo excited to read this one! I'm such a huge fan of Mindy McGinnis! Who's reading with us this week?

I've read it, but I'll follow your comments!

Oh, awesome! Did you like it?

Yes. The audio was an AI voice so not the best, but I thought the plot was pretty interesting!

I'm reading it too! I agree it's interesting so far.

Did I misunderstand or did the cat have a POV chapter???

No. I don't think you misunderstood

Haha yep, the cat had a chapter

Aly wrote: "Haha yep, the cat had a chapter"

LOL. Okay, I just wanted to make sure.

OMG! This book is BANANAS! In a good way. I can't decide how I feel about the cat chapters yet, though. What do you all think?

Yes, super crazy! I didn't love the cat chapters, it was a bit too much

Okay, I'm glad it's not just me. I'm hoping they tie into the plot in the end in some way.

I'm caught up and agree that the cat chapters are strange.

At first I thought it was another character named Kat, so it took me a second to figure out what was happening. LOL.

🤣🤣

I did too! ROFL

Her brother's name is Ribbit right? Like a frog?

Ah I can't remember!

The Clever Reader wrote: "Her brother's name is Ribbit right? Like a frog?"

Haha, yes!!!

Krysti wrote: "The Clever Reader wrote: "Her brother's name is Ribbit right? Like a frog?"

Haha, yes!!!"

Ok. I thought I was going crazy. This book is so weird.

It is! But in a really good way...minus the cat. LOL.

I accidentally read ahead a few chapters today 😬 How’s everyone’s reading going?

The Clever Reader wrote: "I accidentally read ahead a few chapters today 😬 How’s everyone’s reading going?"

It's hard not to! The chapters are so short, you don't always notice when they're over.

I’m LOVING all the Edgar Alan Poe references so much!

I feel like both of these girls are going to be dead by the end. It's hard not to finish it and find out! Things are getting wild!

The Clever Reader wrote: "I feel like both of these girls are going to be dead by the end. It's hard not to finish it and find out! Things are getting wild!"

That's what I was thinking, but then I saw that this is a duology!

Oh ya!! I forgot about that! Ugh...now I really really have no idea how this is going to end.

Right?! Like, HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS INTO TWO BOOKS?!

Haha no kidding! If this was only book one, what will happen in the sequel?

Um...anyone else find it creepy when the girl is just sitting on the stairs sobbing while holding the tail of her now dead dog...

Ew yes

Oh my gosh, yes!

There's so much vomiting in this that I struggled listening to it (big trigger for me.) It actually helped having the AI read it

Aly wrote: "There's so much vomiting in this that I struggled listening to it (big trigger for me.) It actually helped having the AI read it"

Oh, sorry! I didn't even notice that. I also don't notice that it's an AI reading. I'm so used to Siri reading me books, and this one is soooo much better.

Yes. There is a lot of vomiting.

The A.I. on the NG Shelf is much better than siri on your phone! It takes a second to get used to it but then it isn't bad.

Especially on 2X! I have to try to hear it to notice.
