If you love Jennifer Armentrout or want to try out a new really good author, join Trisha and me when we read this!

I just finished this, and I loved it! I hope you both enjoy.

That's really good to know! Thanks, Ashlyn. :)

This is book is fantastic! I hope that you guys enjoy it. :)

Thank you, Anna. :o)

Thank you Anna!!

but Yikes, I will definitely be starting tomorrow and not tonight :)

6 chapters

Mallory (view spoiler)[ has really had a rough life! Foster homes aren't all bad but those that are seem to be horrific! I'm glad she has Rider now. (hide spoiler)]

Rider (view spoiler)[seems to truly care about Mallory. I like him a or so far but I'm worried what's going on with him and Hector. Hopefully it's just "innocent" boy trouble and nothing major like drugs or gangs. (hide spoiler)]

Kiera (view spoiler)[ seems nice but I don't trust her yet, mainly because Rider didn't like the idea that Kiera wanted Mallory to try out for cheer. So that made me think that he knew it might not be innocent. (hide spoiler)]

Paige (view spoiler)[ I don't know much about her yet but I'm afraid what will happen when she finds out that Ridet is holding hands with Mallory! (hide spoiler)]

Carl and Rosa (view spoiler)[ thank God for people like them! (hide spoiler)]

10 chapters

Mallory (view spoiler)[ poor thing. It angers me so much that Mr. Henry & people like him can mess up someone's life so much. It broke my heart when she said she doesn't like who she is. (hide spoiler)]

Paige (view spoiler)[ still concerns me. The last thing Mallory needs is someone confronting her violently, especially physically. I hope she somehow understands Mallory and Rider's bond. (hide spoiler)]

I'll catch up tonight!
are you liking it so far??

Yes, I'm liking it a lot!

We had a boat ride today and we had dolphins ALL around us, tons of them right in front of our noses. It was the most awesome sight ever!!

Oh my gosh!! How fun!!

I'm home now but what a BLAST we had! One night we had a guest speaker who did pottery/clay lessons (and a spiritual lesson) and every grandchild who wanted to was able to make their own clay bowl. So we were up until 11:30 doing that...so fun!

I'm 5 chapters

I 100% agree with your spoilers.

I can't help but wonder(view spoiler)[ just how much Rider is actually with Paige. he seems awfully touchy feely
I'm hoping he's not that into Paige and Paige just thinks they are together (hide spoiler)]

I'm also (view spoiler)[ a little worried about what Rider is mixed up with. Is he dealing? shaking people down for money? something just seems off.... (hide spoiler)]

Finished and loved this one!!!

Rider: (view spoiler)[really was a good guy who was just as hurt and vulnerable as Mallory was. I'm so glad his life is now looking up with a potentially good future. (hide spoiler)]

Ainsley: (view spoiler)[ I just can't say enough about her. I loved her character and the type of friend she was to Mallory. I felt terrible about her eye condition but I was also happy to see her handle it so well. (hide spoiler)]

Mallory: (view spoiler)[I'm so glad that she finally stood up for herself and that she was and is changing in so many ways. (hide spoiler)]

The ending (view spoiler)[was so beautiful. I loved this book in so many ways! Just one more reason to love Armentrout! (hide spoiler)]

wow, 5 stars?!

I plan to get back to this one but it might not be until tomorrow

I'm not feeling good (camp wiped me out. ugh) and I"m so behind in books I'm hoping to finish a few today

I don't know that you'll give it 5 but I loved it!!! I hope you love it too.

I am really sorry you don't feel well and hope you're better soon!!!

Thank you!! as soon as camp ended Friday night, I've been sleeping off and on
and now I've officially lost my voice :(
I hate having summer colds....ugh

That would be awful to get colds like that. I rarely get a cold, but I know how miserable they can be!

10 chapters

ugh, I hate it but I can already tell I'm not a huge fan of this one. I'm just not buying into Mallory's mouse routine. :/

Lol I knew it! I'm sorry you're not liking it.

hahahah!!! LOL I love how well you know me!!

I'm 20 chapters now and it's going okay...

Rider(view spoiler)[ I'm glad Rider finally handled Paige. that wasn't fair what he was putting them both through but I could understand his struggle - the past and the future were literally colliding. Hard to juggle that, I'd assume (hide spoiler)]

Ainsley(view spoiler)[ I'm assuming something pretty big is wrong with her. I'm hope she's okay (hide spoiler)]

Carl(view spoiler)[ I was kind of mad at him for how he treated Rider. He doesn't seem to want to listen to Mallory when she talks about him or tries to help them understand what he means to her. hopefully they will end up wanting to help him instead of pushing him away (hide spoiler)]

Yep, that's why I said I didn't know that YOU'D give it 5 stars. LOL
I wasn't totally hooked at first but I ended up really loving it, the struggles he/they went through, etc. Some parts weren't totally credible to me, but it is a book after all so I went with it. Ha ha! I just hope you don't hate it!

How do you feel today? Better, I hope!!

I'm done!

Didn't hate it but yea....it just didn't feel very original - it felt very formulaic with a typical New Adult theme.

it was okay but just not original and it was looooong.
but Yeah!! We both read it and finished! Now we're a little less behind lol

For some reason I can't get the internet now so I'm on my phone till my husband hopefully can fix it. So did you rate it a 3?

Never mind, I saw your rating. I'm sorry you only liked it enough to give it 2 stars. I know I'm more generous with my ratings in general and I always want you and myself to love our BR books. Lol

Here's hoping our next one will be better for your taste! :)
