Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Join Trinity and me as we read one of our first books of 2017.

Ready for this one!

Me too! I've had it for quite a while.

Me too lol it's just been on my bookshelf waiting to be read. I will most likely be starting tomorrow, or I might get a few chapters done today.

I'm starting tomorrow.

I'm starting now :) Will come back after 10 chapters.

^LOL I have yet to start! I've been doing some catching up with some online school these past few days and haven't picked up this book up yet. I have about 2 hours before I have to get ready for work so I'm going to see how much I can get in this one before then :)

Just got to chapter 10

April - (view spoiler)[I like her character. She isn't as bad as she let herself believe, a little awkward I basically smacked my hand on my face when she told Jonah she ate a burrito my goodness. (hide spoiler)]

Jonah - (view spoiler)[It sounds like there's so much on him. He seems really depressed and I'm frankly scared to know how his friend died. Everytime April mentions something wrong he just looks at her so scary it freaks me out a little, not gonna lie. (hide spoiler)]

I just finished this and I'm writing through some tears right now.

The ending (view spoiler)[just left me sad. I hate when I don't know how a story finally ends, I need to know what could happen in months. If Jonah started getting better where he could be with April again. How Jonah is gonna be his junior year at the school, how many times he would have to go to the mental institute. How April likes her new school. There are just some many things I want to know that it hurtttttssssssss.

He hurt to see how April watched Jonah, it seemed like it was time for them to end a long time ago. The minute she felt like it was a chore to see Jonah, I believe that she felt she had to go.

I am such a sucker for happy endings, I know in reality this is how most things would have happened but I just really wanted everyone to be fully okay and happy and it just hurt a lot to read this. I think that this was good book but I just wish there was more to it. After awhile I didn't really like April's character anymore, she was just really exhausting to read through.

CAN WE NOT FORGET THAT THESE ARE 15 YEAR OLDS?! There were sooo many times I believed they were 17 - 18, I really think the age should have been different. This was way too much for 15 year olds. Letting your daughter go to the mental place everyday and letting her spend the night at her sick boyfriends house? (hide spoiler)]

I honestly have mixed feelings about this book, while I did really like it I do wish more was done.
