Pages: 328 pages

Length: 1 month (October)

Participants: Susan, Lorraine, Dominique

Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.

Here are some questions to help get the conversation started! Feel free to look up discussion questions specific to this book or come up with your own. Just make sure any questions that contain spoilers are under spoiler tags.
Discussion questions are not required but may be a fun way to talk about the book and get to know each other!

Prior to starting:
What prompted you to join this buddy read?
Have you read this author before? What do you think of their other books?

Mid-read:
What character or ideas do you relate to the most and why?
Do you have any favorite quotes or scenes?

After reading:
What was enjoyable or not-so-enjoyable about this book?
Did this book change your perception about anything, either within the book (character development) or in real life?

I finished was a 3 stars

Was a very slow story. The holes in her father's story was getting too much. For him to make her play a hunt game to get to the truth was not all that twisty.
It was easy to know that the moment that the truth about her father was going to come out that there was going to be a breakup.
Took too long for the mother to show up and was finished too quick.
The revelation of what happened didn't shock me

I plan on starting this book today or tomorrow. I've fallen behind on my reading after a busy weekend!

I finished this book last night and I agree with Dominique. Was a very quick, hurried finish. I wasn't surprised by the ending at all. The story had so much potential as well, I was really enjoying it up until the last 30 pages or so.
