Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Please join Trisha, Esther, Krista and me for this buddy read.

Thanks again

You're welcome. :)

My library doesn't have this in the system yet :(

Krista, that's so frustrating! I went to my library today and I have 6 books I've been waiting for and I found out today that they aren't in the system yet either. I've had them on order for some time now and it's messing up my buddy reading. But there's nothing I can do, so I feel ya!

5 chapters

Kaia (view spoiler)[is in a bad situation! I have a feeling her mother and possibly her father too are alive. What I don't know is why they haven't gone to get her. Maybe they feel she's safer where she is? She seems pretty capable, but she is just a young teenager. I hate that she's all alone now with the exception of Oliver. (hide spoiler)]

Oliver (view spoiler)[seems to have a natural instinct for spin kicking. LOL He did say he hadn't ever done that before if I remember correctly. Kaia is suddenly suspicious of him but I really do hope she is wrong. I hope he's on the up and up! (hide spoiler)]

I like how this started off and it has my interest.

I agree, it will mess up this one for me :( Oh well, I have others I need to be working on.

Thank goodness for that :) We have several buddy reads this month it seems.

10 Chapters

Kaia (view spoiler)[ is so suspicious of Oliver. I think something is going on but I can't figure out what. I definitely don't think he's a bad guy or anything. I feel bad for her losing her parents but I have a feeling at least her mother might be okay. I hope they both are somehow all right. She and Oliver have sure had their fair share of bad guys! (hide spoiler)]

Oliver (view spoiler)[has surprised me a few times. I couldn't believe how he stood up to that one big guy that was laying into Kaia. He is very protective of her and I do like that. I just wish they'd both be honest with each other and stop the suspicions. (hide spoiler)]

Jack (view spoiler)[sounds like a real jerk, and I hope he doesn't do anything or cause problems with Trevor and Robin. (hide spoiler)]

20 Chapters

Oliver (view spoiler)[has turned out to be helpful and I'm glad Kaia has him. I can't believe he has such skills due to lessons in self-defense. I love his sarcasm and sense of humor. (hide spoiler)]

Kaia (view spoiler)[is gutsy or stupid. LOL When she said she'd jump if that guy shot Oliver, I thought she was crazy. I'd DIE up high like that! LOL I wouldn't jump for my kids and ALL of my grandkids. LOL Okay....MAYBE. But she's a tough cookie. (hide spoiler)]

Uncle (view spoiler)[I'm really glad she found her uncle, as long as he turns out to be a good guy! (hide spoiler)]

Her mother (view spoiler)[is alive! I had a feeling she was so now I just need to know why she hasn't contacted Kaia. It has to have been to protect her. (hide spoiler)]

The action (view spoiler)[is a bit unbelievable to me. They've had SO many different people after them and they get out of their situations with a bit too much ease. The people after them are pros, or at least I think they are. So how are two kids getting the better of them? (hide spoiler)]

10 chapters

Kaia(view spoiler)[ I agree. she's had a tough go of it but I don't blame her for being suspicious of Oliver. he is definitely showing too much acceptance to what is going on and the fighting is a bit easy for him
I wonder if this is somehow tied to his dad......we don't know who his real dad is right? (hide spoiler)]

Oliver(view spoiler)[ I don't blame him for being a little hot and cold. he's taking a lot of new information in from Kaia. I can't believe he's handling it all so well (hide spoiler)]

Right, we don't know (view spoiler)[who Oliver's father is. (hide spoiler)]

I would have been (view spoiler)[suspicious of him too. (hide spoiler)]

20 chapters

Oliver(view spoiler)[ is helpful. I was with Kaia and thought he'd be a liability so I'm glad he's actually useful :) (hide spoiler)]

Kaia(view spoiler)[ I know she believe her mom is alive but I'm not so sure.I was wondering if it was her dad (hide spoiler)]

I still feel like we don't know much

I agree(view spoiler)[ that is seem super unbelievable that they have gotten out of so many situations (hide spoiler)]

and I"m done

this one was just Meh. I mean, it was interesting but nothing really there to make me love it....

I agree Trisha. I almost gave it 2 stars too.

Guess I didn't miss anything too exciting then.

I thought it was okay, but it's super hard for me to give only 2 or 1 stars. It has to be pretty bad for me to give it that low and I honestly like most of the books I read to an extent.

Krista wrote: "Guess I didn't miss anything too exciting then."

nah, not really......if you have a lot of books, I'd skip it.

I do right now. I'm hoping I can get them all read without have to send any back to the library without reading them. Plus, this one still isn't in my library's system.

Yeah, I say skip it!
Yikes, yeah, definitely don't buy it! LOL

i'll send this thread to the archives! I'm sure our next one will be better, Krista!!

I hope so! :) Thanks, Trisha.
