Angie & Danielle - Real

Checking In!

I'm here! How do you want to do the buddy read based on number of pages per day or number of chapters per day? Either way is fine by me.

Let's go with Chapters - I hate to stop in the middle of a chapter! I'm a pretty fast reader so I can commit to any schedule you want.

I don't like stopping in the middle of chapters. Could we start Friday?

So starting tonight? The chapters are by name not number. About how many do you want to do per day? I'm good to read whatever you want.

Sorry I just answered but my home computer was being fixed.

That's not a problem. I was at the drivein with my twin daughters. I've not looked at the chapters. Let's say 5 chapters more if the book is moving along. Is that going to be okay with you?

ok I read 7 last night.

I'll read 7 chapters

Hmm - so I really liked this book until about Chapter 7. But I have to say her "I need him, I have to have sex with him" is a little over the top. If a man got that pissed when a woman wouldn't have sex with him because she wanted to wait it would be inexcusable.

Obviously, there is something serious going on with him and it isn't just anger issues. Reminds me of my aunt who used to go into a deep depression and never leave the room (Well except the part where he goes and gets her and kisses her all night long.)

So since the next five chapters take us to Pictures of You and only leave the last chapter and Epilogue we should either just read through A Visitor and then finish on Monday or we can finish on Sunday. Up to you.

We can finish up on Sunday. I'm fine with that. I'm up to chapter 7. What I've read so far has intrigued me. I'm really curious about Remy's mood swings.

Okay I finished the book. I liked some things about it but there were other things that I didn't. I really liked the bi-polar story line and I liked Remy a lot. But the whole time Brooke was "Freaking" out about Remy not having sex with her just drove me crazy! She was so over the top needy and obsessed with him and if I had to read about her damp/wet underwear one more time I was going to scream. I will end up giving the book 3 stars. I liked it but I don't want to read the next book in the series.

I also thought it was interesting the author was "pushing a non-drug/natural solution" to bi polar.

I finished as well. Brooke's underwear annoyed me as well. I kinda skimped over it when I saw it. I'm leaning towards a 3.5 Stars myself. Wishing GR had half stars.

half stars would be great. I wish there was more room for variance. I don't give a lot of 1 to 2 stars or five stars which leaves a lot of 3 and 4 stars and quite a few books leave me debating between the two!

I know the feeling. I usually just round up the number.
