YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Courtney and I will be reading this on 31 March!

Yay! Gonna get some sleep and then fit in some more reading before the end of the challenge. :D

Prologue
(view spoiler)[Strangers talking about their sexual experiences in the dark and talking about how they had sex before but they never 'made love' before. Then they progress to PRETEND they're in love and 'made love'had sex on the floor. Doesn't make sense...! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[When Six was talking about her reputation for sleeping around, it reminded me of that Cinderella girl who says it's nice to be in the dark without reputation getting in the way. Could Six be Cinderella? But surely Daniel would have noticed her voice. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 3
(view spoiler)[Isn't it weird that Six asked Daniel: "You have sex with Tessa Maynard?"
Like that's not gonna raise any eyebrows! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[Meh I don't find Daniel and Six's relationship cute. They rush things. They don't know each other. He asks her 3 quick questions about herself and then they get physical again. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[WOW so they had a baby in the dark as strangers. Isn't it kind of lucky they found out the truth about who they were with in the maintenance closet? It's not exactly a glorious, having a baby in a maintenance closet..... (hide spoiler)]

Ending
(view spoiler)[Sorry I can't take this story seriously.
"Technically I knew you for a whole year."

No girl, TECHNICALLY, you knew him for around 2-3 days. The day you made a baby in the closet and the ~2 days since you reunited. (hide spoiler)]

That sounds dodgy!

Yeah it was!!

Noella wrote: "Prologue
[spoilers removed]"

This is probably the strangest prologue I've ever read. (view spoiler)[I mean they know nothing about each other! And it's not the same to pretend since they could pretend with anyone. So weird.<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

Up to chapter 4. (view spoiler)[That whole lunch thing was ridiculous. And this is not going to go over well with their friends. And it's been like a day and their obsessed with each other. A bit fast.<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

Noella wrote: "Chapter 3
(view spoiler)[I guess his friends are used to him having sex with people and talking about it. Weird that they don't think anything of that.<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

Just finished. (view spoiler)[That relationship progressed far too quickly. And obviously she was Cinderella. I think hr kind if over reanding out about the baby. I mean yeah, it was a big deal, but he was somewhat of a jerk right then. I mean what was she supposed to do really?<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, agreed on that one.

Rachael & Marla

We decided to read this on July 7th instead and I will be starting just a tad bit early as in right now :)

Prologue (view spoiler)[ Okay that was cute.. Weird, but cute. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ D'ahh Cinderella = Six. How cute (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ that was the cutest chapter of all time.. I'm thinking maybe Six isn't Cinderella cause she said she just moved to town? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 3 (view spoiler)[ HAHAH Breckin is hilarious.. love him (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ Oh wow... she got pregnant. I didn't expect that. He shouldn't get mad at her about it though.. (hide spoiler)]

Finished - Ugh that was perfect... (view spoiler)[ 5 stars. Daniel & Six 4 lyfe (hide spoiler)]

Guys, what is the page count on this book? I can't find one over 100 pages? I'd like to read it, what count did you get?

@ Berit, I have 130 pages on my phone, but that sounds high...there is a computation for page numbers if you can find out how big the file is (but this story was only 130 of 176 on my phone and the rest was a preview of Ugly Love).

The GoodReads book page says 90 pages.

(view spoiler)[Cinderella was leaving town, so she wouldn't be back to the closet. I guess that was when Six went to Italy. And she just got back. (hide spoiler)]

I remember in Losing Hope, Holder, Daniel and (I think) Breckin are talking (view spoiler)[about their best sex and Daniel says it was with a mystery girl in the maintenance closet during 5th period.
(hide spoiler)]

Prologue: I love Daniel and it was a sweet scene (view spoiler)[if you can ignore sex with a stranger. Trying to pretend you're in love was sad, but chasing a dream. The fact they didn't hold hands with past lovers was a sad statement. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 1: I hate Val. (view spoiler)[Good riddance to Val! Holder is totally right, if his best friend and Sky's best friend get involved then break up, it would be awkward. Seen it in real life, rarely is the relationship worth the friendship. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 2: Daniel's family is funny and awesome! (view spoiler)[Reverse psychology is so useful with teenagers. My mother always said you have to be really careful what you say about boyfriends, because your daughter may end up marrying him or sometimes they just date someone to rebel. I like the idea of not just sleeping with the next guy just because you aren't a virgin. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 3: Wow, Daniel was looking for Cinderella (view spoiler)[when he thought Val was her. I love Breckin too and I'm impressed that he figured it out. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 4: I liked the hiding in plain sight, but I'm glad that Daniel and Six tell Holder and Sky. I love Daniel and Six together and I love Daniel and Holder.
Chapter 5-9: (view spoiler)[Too cool that Six is Daniel's Cinderella. Wow, Six still got pregnant, didn't they use a condom? Yes, I just checked, they did. Going through that alone would be terrible. I'm desperate to know what happened to the baby. Carrying Six into their maintenance closet was PERFECT! Intense, but Daniel handles it pretty well. I like that they will be in college together. [Though don't tell my daughters, they aren't allowed to go to the same college as their boyfriends.] (hide spoiler)]

You're right!

Marla wrote: "I remember in Losing Hope, Holder, Daniel and (I think) Breckin are talking about their best sex....

Ah you're right there too! I didn't remember that when reading

I remembered that scene as soon as I saw this was Daniel's POV and the name of the story. Then I got really excited. I love how she set up that teaser!

Makes me wonder what came first in the authors mind... That line or this story.

Prologue
(view spoiler)[
omg when reading Losing Hope I actually thought that it was really weird - that thing in the closet but now when actually knowing what really happened it really is cute (hide spoiler)]

Rachael wrote: "Makes me wonder what came first in the authors mind... That line or this story."

What a good observation - I have a feeling the story came first and she set it up in Losing Hope. How clever.

Mickey wrote: "Prologue..."

Welcome, Mickey! I thought it was an interesting story...but it is sweeter in context.

damn it! I wrote like more than a thousand words for the whole book and bc I was from the app it deleted it and it came out only the prologue! I don't have much internet connection and I can not wrote it again and I am so angry! ughhh!

Marla wrote: "I remember in Losing Hope, Holder, Daniel and (I think) Breckin are talking about their best sex and Daniel says it was with a mystery girl in the maintenance closet during 5th peri..."

the prologue was so sad I don't even know.. pretending to love just because you haven't is so so so sad..

chapter 3??
(view spoiler)[
Daniel was looking for his Cinderella when meeting Val? That is so sweet! And if I am not lying to myself he said something like the moment he kissed her he knew she isn't the girl he is looking for but he still stayed with her just to keep his mind off! Poor Daniel! He is so cute!
(hide spoiler)]

Rachael wrote: "Chapter 4 [spoilers removed]"
(view spoiler)[

As far as I remember at first he got angry but it was because he didn't have the chance to have a say in what they should do with the baby?! I think Six did what was right and I also think that Daniel is too cute and he is really thoughtful and I love how he tries to be there for everyone!

(hide spoiler)]

Mickey wrote: "damn it! I wrote like more than a thousand words for the whole book and bc I was from the app it deleted it and it came out only the prologue! I don't have much internet connection and I can not wr..."

That is so sad. I hope you can remember your thoughts and are patient enough to share them again.

Mickey wrote: " ...chapter 3??..."

I liked that too ~ (view spoiler)[that Daniel was looking for Cinderella when he went over to Val. Didn't he walk up and kiss her? That's a bit over the top even for Daniel. And then he knew right away during the kiss that Val wasn't Cinderella. (hide spoiler)]

Mickey wrote: "Rachael wrote: "Chapter 4 [spoilers removed]"..."

I think Daniel (view spoiler)[was in shock that she got pregnant. And he didn't have a chance to decide about his baby or even be there for Six. I'm surprised that no one brought up the fact that they used a condom and with Six's reputation, are we certain that the baby was Daniel's? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 2 (view spoiler)[ aww the date was cute, Daniel was really funny. Six/Seven is such a strange name! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ I wonder why Six freaked out so much about the cupboard thing? And wow Daniel's parents are so embarrassing, if hate for my parents to do that to me! They seem lovely though! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ omg she got pregnant! (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ wow that was short! I wish we knew more about the baby! I wonder if they're will be another book based on these two? (hide spoiler)]
