YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Hitchhiking is a bad idea but Caden is desperate.
When she accepts a ride from the first car to come by she meets Gabriel. He's her age, hot, and the closest thing she has to a savior. Problem is, he is a total jerk. With nowhere to go, Caden convinces Gabriel to let her stay with him for one night. He reluctantly lends a couch.

That night Caden wakes up to strange noises. Concerned, she rushes into Gabriel’s room, already anticipating his bad temper. Instead, he’s kind, sweet, and suspiciously harmless—nothing like the man who gave her a ride. He seems like a different person altogether, and claims he is. By night he is Tom, and by day he is Gabriel. Caden finds herself drawn to the mysteries hidden in his eyes.

For Gabriel, Caden is an annoying mistake. One night turns into many, and despite all his anger towards her, she stays. She even seems to accept him and his flaws, but he still doesn’t trust her—is she staying for him, or has she already discovered more than he's willing to share?

Yaay! Thank you, Sarah! :D

The email addresses have been sent to the author now, I'm just waiting for one more to be sent to me now ☺

Got my copy and started reading it. I am not through with the first chapter, but I can tell I am going to like the book.☺

Yay! That's good!

I'm a little early but I just wanna write what I have to say about the first chapter before I go to bed. Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[I like it so far. Was Sean abusive because he sure seems that way. And this Tom/Gabriel thing is already confusing Caden and confuzzling me on why its happening. (hide spoiler)]

If there is still a spot available I will join :)

I will email the author now Jamie ☺

chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ well poor girl, dumped and homeless! Bit odd to change her name but understandable i guess. Poor bloke - picking up a hitchhiker who has nowhere to go! i can't believe he's going to let her spend the night in his house! she could steal something valuable from him or kill him in his sleep!

night - what is going on now?! he wants to play a game at 3 am? this is so weird! (hide spoiler)]

chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ so now he says his name is tom, and he doesn't remember what happened during the daytime. (hide spoiler)]

I know, right? (view spoiler)[Changing her name is sort of like making a clean break, I guess. She is sick of how she let her x turn her into someone she didn't want to be. It also sounds like he was psychologically abusive by always putting her down. I am not sure if that happened the whole relationship or just the end. I guess changing her name is going to help her redefine the new her. (hide spoiler)]

Joyce wrote: "Sarah wrote: "chapter 1 ."

(view spoiler)[ yes, i think the name change was like a fresh start, a clean break for her after Sean. can't help but feel sorry for her though. I wonder how she came up with the new name? (hide spoiler)]
