YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Their Romeo-and-Juliet-level passion is the only thing Jude and Lucy agree on. That, and fighting all the time . . .

Also not helping? Lucy's raging jealousy of the cheerleader who's wormed her way into Jude's life.

While trying to hang on to her quintessential bad boy and also training to be the top ballet dancer in her class, Lucy knows something's going to give . . . soon.

How can she live without the boy she loves? How can she live with herself if she gives up on her dreams? If Lucy doesn't make the right choice, she could lose everything.

Tatiana and I will be reading this on October 25th. Everybody welcome ☺

Starting now!

Okay ☺

2% (view spoiler)[ talk about setting herself up for a confrontation! She might know Jude wouldn't like another man undressing her no matter how innocent! (hide spoiler)]

She has not started out the book as the smartest girl around... The first scene of the second chapter is quite dangerous as well...

6% (view spoiler)[ the trying to seduce him while he's driving? She's nuts! Is she trying to get them killed? (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "6% [spoilers removed]"

Exactly what I thought! Completely insane

6% (view spoiler)[ 'are you sure this is safe?'
Er hello? Who started this? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 3: (view spoiler)[ is it me or is Jude way too explosive? (after the boys dumped a bucket of water on them) (hide spoiler)]

Tatiana wrote: "Chapter 3: [spoilers removed]"

Just a bit (view spoiler)[ and all that stuff about 'my girl's breakfast comes before football' so lame. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter4 (view spoiler)[ I'd be putting a freaking lock on his door and making sure she couldn't get the key. Why didn't he warn her that she was his spirit sister? (hide spoiler)]

And she's sooo annoying!

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ 'just make sure you use a condom this time.' talk about blunt! Did holly ask for advice? It's a bit of a cheap shot at someone who's supposed to be her friend! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)[ I also think it's weird how holly is talking about Jude's butt like that in front of Lucy! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 4 (view spoiler)['he wants you so bad he's about to explode in his pants.' graphic much? I would be so embarrassed if someone said that to me! (hide spoiler)]

Me too, and Brazilians are usually able to say stuff like that without even blushing (not me, though. Another reason I was born in the wrong country)

And I can't make heads or tails of what's going on in the game... I can't get American football

I'm ignoring the football stuff, I haven't got a clue either.

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ I'm so tired of this 'don't look at my girl' stuff, if she's a beautiful girl then people are going to look whether he likes it or not. He needs to grow up. (hide spoiler)]

End of chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ he's telling her off for being jealous now? He needs to take a look in the mirror! What a hypocrite! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 6 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah, it does get tiring... He should just lock her aaway in a tower or something... But Lucy is not much better, I think (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 7: craziness everywhere!

Tatiana wrote: "Chapter 7: craziness everywhere!"

We certainly know why the book is called clash! All they do is argue!

Exactly! I also haven't seen much of a plot yet...

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ I want to cover my eyes. This thanksgiving thing is going to be a disaster. (hide spoiler)]

the female equivalent of a man whore. wouldn't that just be a whore?

Chapter 9 (view spoiler)[ I don't see this dance going down well with Jude. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ kissing whilst carrying her down the stairs also seems a bit risky! (hide spoiler)]

Sarah wrote: "Chapter 9 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Me neither, but, to be very honest, what did he expect? She is a dancer after all, and in ballet there are a lot of pas de deux, which means that, like it or not, she'll have a lot of guys lifting her up and being physically close to her (hide spoiler)]

Tatiana wrote: "Sarah wrote: "Chapter 9 [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

He just needs to get over himself. (view spoiler)[ he must be extremely insecure to be so overprotective and jealous all the time. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[

'Hey Jude' - he's right, that never gets old! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ 'because you wrecked my family?'
He doesn't pull and punches. Talk about trying to start a fight! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ he is seriously trying to pick a fight. He's so immature! (hide spoiler)]

End of chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ who gets out the shower and walks around completely naked? I don't believe Jude actually had sex with her. (hide spoiler)]

They do like to risk their necks constantly... (just got to the stairs scenes in chapter 10)

Chapter 10 is a whole heap of a mess!

Sarah wrote: "Chapter 10 is a whole heap of a mess!"

I have to agree with you...

Chapter 11 (view spoiler)[ I thought you could only go 3 days without water. (hide spoiler)]

You made me go researching, and what I found is:

(view spoiler)[ the average time is 3 days, but some make it to 8 or 10 days without water. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 13: (view spoiler)[ cat fight?! What the heck? Anger through osmosis indeed (hide spoiler)]

Finished... So many unrealistic things towards the end...

Chapter 11 (view spoiler)[ arch nemesis? She hardly knows the girl! (hide spoiler)]

Do you think you'll read the last one in the series?

Chapter 12 (view spoiler)[ he drove 5hours for a 5minute conversation? Couldn't he have just called her? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ she starts a fist fight? How dumb is she? (hide spoiler)]

End of chapter 13 (view spoiler)[ I don't get why she's still staying away from him. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 14 (view spoiler)[ Jude's a superhero? What a load of rubbish. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ she is such an idiot! (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ a medically induced coma for a concussion? Sounds like overkill. (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ could be next hour, could be next week.

Wouldn't it be at least until they withdraw the medication keeping him asleep? (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ they had sex in his hospital bed and the nurse didn't come to check the bleeping machine until they were done? Really? What happened to his medically induced coma? (hide spoiler)]

The end (view spoiler)[ as if she'd have gotten away with that at the stadium! How ridiculous. This author has a problem with how realistic her stories are. (hide spoiler)]
