Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Please join Kathy, Trisha and I as we continue the Sea Breeze series. There is plenty of time to read books 1 and 2 if you haven't read them yet. We'd love to have you participate in the discussion too if you've already read it.

Yay! I can't wait! Thx for making the thread!!

No problem :)

Hi Vicki!!! :D

Awe, I love seeing your face on here!!! Hi Trisha :)

How are you??

I'm just about to go to bed :( but I missed chatting with you!

Yay! Thanks for making the thread Vicki!

I can't wait! :)

If I finish the second book in time, I will join in on this one.

Hope you guys enjoy it :)

I have already read this one and 4. But I will definitely join you if you guys read 5 and 6. Just a warning this one is even steamier than Because of Low.

yay!!! finally, this one starts tomorrow!

I have a book or 2 to finish and then I'll start this one!

I think I'll be back every 5 chapters :)

10 chapters in

OMG Cage is adorable! I can't remember why i didn't like him in the last one

Oh yeah, he was possessive wasn't he? of Low? expected her to wait for him..... ahhh, now he's adroable :)

Proogue: (view spoiler)[The letter that Eva receives from Josh at the beginning is a heart-breaker! (hide spoiler)] OMG!

I remember that Cage was a womanizer in book 2, but he also had good qualities. I liked him by the end of book 2, so I'm looking forward to learning more about him in this book.

I'll start this one tomorrow! :D

Yay, Kathy!

Finished with ch. 10. The relationship between Cage and Eva is fun to "watch."

Cage: (view spoiler)[I loved him in and I am growing to love him even more. I don't like his womanizing, of course, but I love how much he tried to respect Eva when he thought she was engaged, and I LOVED that he not only didn't try to take advantage of her when she was drunk, but he didn't want her that way. (hide spoiler)]

Eva: (view spoiler)[ She is something else! LOL I am glad that she is finally starting to let go of Josh. 18 months is a long time, but you can't tell anyone how much time they need to grieve. She cracked me up as she TRIED not to be all lusty for Cage. LOL (hide spoiler)]

Cage and Eva: (view spoiler)[I don't have any strong desire for them to be together or not, but I am glad that Cage actually cares so much about her and she's not JUST a pair of panties to him. I like how he's tried to restrain himself. (hide spoiler)]

and I'm done

this one was cute, Cage was cute (view spoiler)[ but about 1/2 way it was...kind of formulaic. It felt familiar, like all the other NA. so even though I thought Cage was adorable, I was still rolling my eyes at the typical NA stuff.... (hide spoiler)]

I'm going to start in a little bit.

Reading a couple more chapters of Insurgent and then I will dive into this one! :D

Prologue (view spoiler)[ That was sad! Leave to Abbi Glines to bring me to tears in the first page! lol! :D (hide spoiler)]

Kathy, I swear we are two peas in a pod! I cried too...tear-jerker from page one. LOL

I'm not going to get any more reading done tonight!

I think I have had a cold all week and my head hurts so I'm going to bed!

I'll read more in the morning with breakfast!

Good night! :D

Feel better! :o)

Thanks Vicki! I'm feeling a little better.

10 chapters in

I liked Cage in book #2 as well! He is pretty adorable and I like that he respecting Eva enough do not want to treat her the usual way he treats girls! :D

I'll read more tomorrow! :D

I have about 12 pages left, but I had to run to the post office. I'll be done very shortly.

Haha! Two hours later and I'm DONE! LOL We took our tree down finally. Had to wrap up all the ornaments...still not done. But I got this book finished.

The last few chapters drove me nuts! (view spoiler)[ How many times can they go back and forth and keep saying s/he doesn't really want me? S/he only used me and doesn't think I'm a keeper...blah, blah, blah! I did get tired of that! (hide spoiler)]

The ending: (view spoiler)[ I did love how it ended. I KNEW when she said she'd always wanted to play piano but her mom did and so it upset her dad that Cage was going to get her one. I thought that was really sweet that he did that. It was one of my favorite parts of the book, AND how she played that song she wrote for him. Her letter to Josh wasn't the tear-jerker the first letter from him was, but I liked how she "closed that chapter of her life. (hide spoiler)]

lol well 2 hours is not LONG :D

absolutely love Abbi Glines! and the sea breeze series is amazing.(: <3

I enjoy this series :) I can't say I've loved every book so far, but I enjoyed them enough to continue the series :D

Gis, that was two hours to finish the last 12 pages! LOL That's how my reading goes (or doesn't go) sometimes. FRUSTRATING!

lol You did well :P

Awe, thanks, Gis! I just wuv u! :o)

The last few chapters drove me nuts! [spoile..."

I agree the last few chapters (view spoiler)[ just ugh!!! I'm so tired of that stuff in these books. it's starting to all feel/sound the same :( (hide spoiler)]

the 2nd letter (view spoiler)[ yeah it wasn't a huge tearjerker but I like that it was in there. Like you said, it gave us a great update on her and her closure (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait to read the next one! Are we up for a February buddy read on that one?

I'm done!

I agree with you guys, it was kind of repetitive! I mean (view spoiler)[ what was the point of him driving all that way just to let her know that it was her dad that forced him to leave and he tells her he loves her and then leaves?AGAIN?!?! *sigh* (hide spoiler)]

I was glad that Eva (view spoiler)[ was able to let go of Josh and move on with her life. I thought I was going to be all emotional reading this book, but I wasn't. Thanks goodness! I don't think my head would be able to take it! lol! :D (hide spoiler)]

Feburary sounds good to me! I don't know what you guys have scheduled so throw some dates out and I'll check back later tonight after work! :D

Trisha, sounds good! How about Feb. 9?

Feb 9th is good

is anyone cool with making the thread?

I will.

Here you go! If this date doesn't work for someone, let us know.
