Please feel free to join Megan and I in this buddy read!

ooh ready for this one tomorrow?

I can't wait!

I'm excited to start it!

How do you want to break it up?

Um...looks like it's broken out in months
September, October and November.

want to come back after every one? (that's 4 - 5 chapters...)

otherwise, come back as often as you want :) I've seen some great reviews on this one, I think we're really going to like it :)

That's sounds like a good idea.

I hope we do :)

okay, wow, I thought I'd check back - chapters seem long (or maybe it's because I'm tired)

LOVE this one so far. I'm 4 chapters in and trying desperately (view spoiler)[ to keep all her parallels straight.

So, it all changed on that one day - 9/9/9 (hide spoiler)]

Hollywood (view spoiler)[ Yuck, Bret is 35!!! 35!!! he shouldn't be kissing an "almost" 18 year old.
PLEASE let her meet Michael in this reality too :) (hide spoiler)]

Yale (view spoiler)[ OMG! Love Michael And I really love Caitlin. What an amazing friend :) (hide spoiler)]

I can't wait to read more.....tomorrow :)

goodnight!

stopping at Oct
OMG it's so good so far!!

okay ,wow
I just stopped at November
I absolutely LOOOOOVE this book!!!

Michael (view spoiler)[ I am NOT sold on this guy. I don't want him to be her "destiny", her fate. I want him to be a detour.
I want Josh back! :D (hide spoiler)]

Josh (view spoiler)[ OMG I love him. he is so sweet and she WAS giving him ALL the wrong messages. (hide spoiler)]

Caitlin (view spoiler)[ I love her. I'm so sad they were fighting. Ugh, how horrible. she is the bestest friend ever

unless she's really screwing with Nick
then she's making a poor detour choice (hide spoiler)] Because I want Tyler (view spoiler)[ to be her destiny :) yay! (hide spoiler)]

OMG I'm done

this one was amazing!! I loved it!

can't wait to see what you think, Megan!!

Yes the first five chapters are very long, I just finished them and it says that I 43% done! Sorry for taking so long.

This is such a unique story. It was a little slow in the beginning but now it's so good I don't want to stop :)

(view spoiler)[I think it's so neat how this author makes you realize how things you don't think make a difference can change the course of your life.

Yes it's very hard keeping them straight. I feel really bad for her, having to live with both memories like that would be very strange not to mention extremely difficult.

That parts kind of confusing. It sounds as though it changed on two different dates 09/08/08 and 09/09/09, but I think the one makes the difference is the past one.

I found that gross too! I don't know if she's ever going to go back to that reality, but if she does it would be nice if Michael, or Josh, would show up. They both seem like such nice guys, though as of right now I like Josh more (not sure why).

That was probably the weirdest part when I read how she woke up at Yale. I thought for sure it was going to be Northwestern, since that was the college she kept thinking about, so I was surprised when she ended up at Yale.

I think Caitlin is such an amazing friend and they compliment each other well. I do have this bad feeling that something Abby from '08 does is going to change their friendship but I hope I'm wrong.

Wow! Just because she injured her foot she's now a coxswain. I really can't believe she just quit it, over an email too, and plans to try out for the play. It'll be interesting if the skills she thinks she has are still there or if because her past changed they did too.

Hope to read more tonight :) (hide spoiler)]

Finished October. I'm really enjoying it! :)

Michael (view spoiler)[ Yeah, I feel the exact same way! He seems like a nice guy and everything, but for some reason I love Josh so much more and hope he's her soul mate. (hide spoiler)]

Josh (view spoiler)[ Exactly! I can understand how both of them behaved the way they did, they both were afraid to put themselves out there and be rejected, but it was comical when you learn that both of them tonight the other wasn't interested because of their actions. (hide spoiler)]

Caitlin (view spoiler)[I love her too! She seems like such a perfect friend. I have a feeling that Ben might be her soul mate, since it seems like in any of Abby's versions of college they seem to have chemistry with each other, but I'm hoping that I'm wrong and Tyler and her get together again. (hide spoiler)]

Other thoughts (view spoiler)[ The professor seems to be on to Abby's secret. I wonder if she'll end up telling him and confirming it.

It strange to think that the Abby from '08 might have some of Abby's, from '09, memories and that the reasons she does some of the things differently.

I wonder if the ending will bring it full circle somehow, with Abby being in the same play and someone seeing her in it and casting her to play the part in the movie she was in before - since if I'm remembering correctly no one has the past yet.

Curious to see how this ends, I'll probably finish it up today. Sorry for taking so ridiculously long! (hide spoiler)]

Finished!

(view spoiler)[Wow! I was so sure I knew where it was going, with her staying with Michael and wasn't liking it, and then BOOM it gets switched and I loved it! So glad she ended up with Josh! I loved how they would have ended up together anyway!

When it said that Michael's house looked familiar I had thought the reason was it was the house where she had injured her foot. I did not see Michael and Josh being brothers - it completely shocked me! No wonder the house looked familiar! And what a terrible way for everyone to find out, at least the first time, by having Josh pull up to the house while Abby and Michael are kissing.

When Abby and Josh talk after that, and she tells him everything and he believes her, when he says that maybe the past Abby will come to his house I was hoping she would. So when she does and then it didn't make a difference to the future Abby because the past Abby still chose to go with Michael which very much surprised me. In fact, that made me dislike the other Abby. To chose to date someone brother, in secret...for months, was just wrong on so many levels!

The ending was a little weird but at the same time I loved it. I thought it was just going to end with her and Josh reuniting at the game and had just thought "What's going to stop things from changing again?" when the earthquake hit and brought everything back to where it should be. It would have been almost a tiny bit better had she forgotten everything that happened, as I think it'll be a little strange when their relationship starts, but since the other time Josh believed her I'm sure if/when she tells him he'll believe her again and they'll share this great story.

I found this kind of funny:

Because it means you're with Josh. "No," I whisper in the dark. "I am not in love with my boyfriend's brother." Hearing myself say it, I almost laugh out loud. Who's the boyfriend and who's the brother?

Because it could easily be taken either way and be right.

I very much enjoyed reading this book. It was such a fresh idea! Thanks for reading it with me :) (hide spoiler)]

yay Megan! I'm so glad you liked it! lol!
I loved your comments at the end too!! YES! Either way could be right or wrong! ha!
