Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Come read this book with Trisha and me and see what A Good Idea is!

Hey, Trisha, do you want to schedule a new date? I have the book until May 27 but I can also renew it unless someone has it on hold.

OMG I completely forgot about this one

pulling now - I'll start tomorrow

wow, there are only 16 chapters - want to come back every...4 chapters?

My husband dismantled all of my bookshelves like 2 weeks ago and took them down into the garage. He's building me new bookshelves that are built into the wall....so all of my books (ALL of my books, can you just picture it?! LOL) are in piles on the floor in my formal dining room.

It's stressing me out a bit, lol, and making me really reluctant to read :( I hate it, it's kicking me into a definite "not reading" slump and I'm trying to fight it but...I can't even CLEAN THE FLOOR in that dining room right now. UGH .... ANYWAY, I really am going to aim to catch up. I'm getting caught up on the graduation prep stuff and camp stuff so I'll have more time to read :)

No worries! OMG I'd be stressed out! My husband sometimes just moves my piles of books and he'll tell me where but that stresses me out too. Lol I don't keep my library books on my bookshelves and I keep my reading & soon to start books in specific places. Then when he decides to "organize" my books get included. lol

I'll start this one soon, maybe Saturday.

darn, I had an update for 4 chapters but I don't know where it went....I'll try to remmeber.... lol

Owen(view spoiler)[ interesting that he's changed a big since she last saw him. their relationship seems like it would be tough - and very one sided (with him getting the best deal!)
and what's with the dealing?
do you think it was Owen that Betty was found out in a truck with? Right now, with his aunt being the former chief of police,
it makes me nervous that he could have done something and be getting away with it. I hope not though......I want to like Owen (hide spoiler)]

Calder(view spoiler)[ I don't think he did it. I don't know what he's hiding but I don't think he killed her. (hide spoiler)]

Serena(view spoiler)[ I'm not sure what to think of her. she seems to be pushing Finley into making some pretty bad decisions. (hide spoiler)]

Betty(view spoiler)[ I have no idea what has happened to her. She seemed really adrift. I wonder why she was lying to Finley so much. THAT is the one thing that seems to point towards Betty hurting herself.
she'd made all these plans and promises with Finley and even said she was in a play but none of it was true. What was she going to do when school ended and they were supposed to go to college together? (hide spoiler)]

8 chapters

Caroline(view spoiler)[ what on earth is going on with her? why is she coming undone? (hide spoiler)]

Calder(view spoiler)[ that was frightening when he sat with her. why would he do that? he has to know that she thinks he hurt Betty.
She hasn't exactly been discreet. (hide spoiler)]

Owen(view spoiler)[ that drug deal with the guy in the hut. what is wrong with this guy? and who was he with? If Betty is a late night roamer, she may have found these guys. Maybe they didn't want her to...... I don't know. There is a lot of weird stuff going on (hide spoiler)]

Serena(view spoiler)[ they just seem to be getting more twisted and odd. I also think it's weird that Serena doesn't seem to hang around or be friends with anyone else.

and what are these Blue pills she keeps giving Finley?
Now I'm getting nervous about this girl (hide spoiler)]

That is SO frustrating!! Sorry!

awe, no worries. I retyped most of it :)

12 chapters

Calder(view spoiler)[ OMG he showed up to the funeral and said her death was a mercy?! WHO DOES THAT!? I love that Owen asked if he'd brought his laundry? How completely inappropriate (hide spoiler)]

Rumor(view spoiler)[ so she was trying to hire someone to kill her? Why won't anyone explain to Finley what she was missing? How was Betty when she was gone? What was going on?

Why would Betty sleep with Owen? She knew that he was Finley's (hide spoiler)]

Serena(view spoiler)[ I don't think their relationship/messing around is healthy at all. They seem to be using each other - like they are still each trying to hold a party of Betty by holding onto each other.
Serena tensing when Finley said she was being sent back to NY. I mean, what is going on? She is not healthy (hide spoiler)]

Owen(view spoiler)[ I think he's still hiding stuff. there is more going on in this town and Finley is NOT caught up on it (hide spoiler)]

and I'm done

wow, I never saw that ending coming!

Calder(view spoiler)[ wow. to find the ONE person who would be willing to wonder what murder was like.

I wonder what happened to him. I agree with her first idea -
I think Serena blamed him for taking everything from her (hide spoiler)]

Owen(view spoiler)[ I knew he had something.....I knew he knew more. I hate that I was right. I really wanted to like him. (hide spoiler)]

Finley(view spoiler)[ she was reckless and wild while in town. she's lucky she made it out alive. but I"m glad she did - that's definitely an ending I wanted
I did love how flawed and dark she was but also how deeply loyal. she was the only one fighting for her friend (or so it seemed). (hide spoiler)]

Serena(view spoiler)[ I think I disliked her as much as I disliked Calder. I knew she was using Finley but I had no idea what she'd done to Betty and then to manipulate Finley. horrible (hide spoiler)]
Caroline(view spoiler)[ she had an awful role to play too. awful that she was so mad at Betty. but it's not like anyone was comparing notes and making connections to know that Betty was really spiraling out of control (hide spoiler)]

Yay!!! A 4 star ⭐️ Woo hoo!

right?! I needed a good one! lol!!
