Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

Vicki and I will be reading this. Anyone else may join.

Thanks for making the thread for us, Katie. :o)

Chapter 6

Beatrix (view spoiler)[is kind of a different character to me. I have never even thought of anyone wanting to draw cadavers for scientific or medical reasons. LOL (hide spoiler)]

Jack (view spoiler)[is a graffiti artist that is the type I like. I don't totally understand him yet but I think he is using his art to express himself and get his feelings out. Has he been hurt somehow? I am not sure if he's one of the Discord members or not but I hope not because if he is, he might be looking at felony charges. (hide spoiler)]

I think Jack and Beatrix (view spoiler)[have their art, though different, in common. I'm curious to see where this is going. (hide spoiler)]

I'm putting this one up for tonight and will continue tomorrow.

I've started this and I'm through chapter 8. I plan on at least getting through chapter 10 tonight and then posting my thoughts. I do like it so far.

Oh, cool. I'm glad you like it too. :o)

I decided to post because I have 3 grandkids spending the night and I'm having a hard time concentrating. LOL

10 chapters

Bex (view spoiler)[Her interest in anatomy drawings is interesting to read about. It's cool that she's so passionate about something so unusual. (hide spoiler)]

Jack (view spoiler)[I wonder what his reasons are for the vandalism. And I think I like him so far, even though he shouldn't vandalize, but it doesn't really seem to hurt anyone. (hide spoiler)]

15 chapters

Jack (view spoiler)[Wow, I can't believe he's the mayor's kid and Bex didn't know. I bet he'd be in a lot of trouble with his dad for the graffiti if he found out. And it must be tough to have his mom in the psych ward too. (hide spoiler)]

Bex's mom (view spoiler)[I like her and how she seems so welcoming to both of her kids' boyfriends. (hide spoiler)]

Heath (view spoiler)[I'm glad it seems like he isn't going to tell that Jack is the graffiti artist. (hide spoiler)]

20 chapters

Jillian (view spoiler)[Her story is so sad, and it must be even worse for her to have a family who is in the spotlight. (hide spoiler)]

Jack (view spoiler)[I'm glad we got more of his story. (hide spoiler)]

Jack/Bex (view spoiler)[I'm glad that they've officially started dating. They are cute together. (hide spoiler)]

I finished the book and it was very good.

Jack/Bex (view spoiler)[I liked them as a couple and I really liked how they had that conversation before their first time. (hide spoiler)]

Jack's dad (view spoiler)[I was glad to see that his mind was changed about Jillian from the picture and made her realize that he should be better to her. (hide spoiler)]

Okay, I'm finally getting back to this one. LOL

I have been SO busy but I think I have managed to finally get a little over halfway through it. Ugh...taking me too long!

I FINALLY finished this one and I also rated it 4 stars. I liked it a lot and probably would have liked it more if I'd have read it without spreading it so far apart due to work.

I agree with all of your posts and I was really glad that Jack's dad (view spoiler)[offered to buy Bex's painting. I was also VERY glad that he realized that he needs to give more attention to his daughter. (hide spoiler)]

Bex's parents (view spoiler)[finally got to where they could put their kids first instead of their own differences. I'm glad they are at least on somewhat of working terms. (hide spoiler)]

I like how it ended and I also though that the convo between (view spoiler)[Jack and Bex prior to sex was really good and something not everyone, even adults, can do. But what was up with her mom giving her SO many condoms and before she'd had sex with Jack? I guess she saw it coming? LOL (hide spoiler)]

We've both finished this so you can put it in archives, Katie.
