Crazy for Young Adult Books discussion

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

Yay!! Thanks for making the thread!!
I really like this author, I totally missed this was her book!

I can't wait to read this!

I've read all of her books so far, and love them so I'm definitely excited for her new book.

Woo hoo!!! I'm hopping on board!!

If I can get this one, I will definitely join.

I can't wait to read it

I just started this. Sorry I couldn't wait.

I started this a little bit early today because I was in a long car ride. I will probably read a lot of it tomorrow in the car but won't be able to update for a while.

10 chapters

Lily (view spoiler)[I like her so far and like how she's into songwriting. (hide spoiler)]

Lily's family (view spoiler)[It's cool how she has a fun and kind of weird family. Her sister likes to tease her and her brothers annoy her but it seems like they all care about each other. (hide spoiler)]

Isabel (view spoiler)[She seems like a good friend. I like how they now have started telling each what they thought of last at night each morning. (hide spoiler)]

the letter writer (view spoiler)[I'm guessing whoever this is will be the love interest. This part of the story is similar to Faking Normal. (hide spoiler)]

Lily's family (view spoiler)[ At first, it seemed like she was complaining about her family, but I guess she doesn't like that she barely gets any time to herself to be able to write songs. (hide spoiler)]

yay! I love how excited you guys are!
I'm finishing up another one and starting another one so I won't be able to start until tomorrow
but I hope can't wait to comment on your posts :)

10 chapters
I swear I've read one or two like this before! Yes, Faking Normal. but wasn't there a crime one too (where kids were disappearing or something?)

anyway, lol

Isabel(view spoiler)[ I really like her too(view spoiler)[

the letter writer(view spoiler)[ I'm assuming it's Cade.
which I'm really hoping it's not. He's rude and doesn't seem like a nice guy at all (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

Hmm, I wonder what the crime one is.

Also, I finished this and forgot to update.

Cade (view spoiler)[He didn't start out as nice, but I think he was a good guy in the end and he and Lily were really cute together. (hide spoiler)]

Isabel (view spoiler)[I'm glad that she and Lily got past the drama of Cade being Isabel's ex. (hide spoiler)]

Lily's siblings (view spoiler)[I thought it was really sweet that they gave her money for a guitar. And I felt bad that she had been mean to Jonah when he didn't actually break the guitar. (hide spoiler)]

20 chapters

Lily(view spoiler)[ she's funny...but yeah, I can see how socially, she's struggling. she doesn't seem to say anything coherent to Lucas (hide spoiler)]

Cade(view spoiler)[ yeah, it seems like she definitely did something to him - before the Isabel situation
but....Is he flirting with her? He almost seems flirty but then he does his gross winking. and mocking her mom?! That was just crappy (hide spoiler)]

Lucas(view spoiler)[ I don't think the penpal is him, even if I wish it was (hide spoiler)]

I'll join in I just brought this home from the library and started this afternoon :)

10 chapters in.

Lily (view spoiler)[I'm liking her so far and I like her little brothers as well. (hide spoiler)]

Notes (view spoiler)[the notes are cute and right now I am pretty certain that the person writing back is Cade. It has the feel of the movie The Shop Around the Corner to me. (hide spoiler)]

yay! Welcome Amanda!!

20 chapters in.

Lily (view spoiler)[she finally talked to Lucas. I know how much she hopes the penpal is him, but I still think it's Cade. (hide spoiler)]

Cade (view spoiler)[he's growing on me the more I see him. I too wonder if Lily did something to upset him in the past or maybe he is jealous of her family? (hide spoiler)]

Really liking this so far. Will read more tomorrow.

30 chapters in.

Lily (view spoiler)[sucks that her guitar was broken I think Jonah is telling the truth and didn't break it, I think that Wyatt broke her guitar and is afraid to tell her. I still wonder why exactly Lily and Cade don't get along. It was nice that she asked out Lucas, but they don't really seem to have much in common and he doesn't get her sense of humor. (hide spoiler)]

Cade (view spoiler)[I wonder how he will find out that Lily is the pen pal. I think the only reason he is dating Sasha is because he thinks that she is the pen pal. He is so different in his letters than his is in person. I think that he might be afraid to show his true self with all the abandonment issues he is dealing with. (hide spoiler)]

Really loving this. Kasie Wests books are so cute.

40 chapters in.

Lily (view spoiler)[I am glad that she is being honest with herself about Lucas as well as her growing feelings for Cade. i wonder why he stopped writing the letters though, it doesn't sound like him to just stop writing. I think that Isabel is taking them. I have a feeling that she is jealous and wants to control who Lily dates. (hide spoiler)]

Cade (view spoiler)[it's sweet that he was invited to the Thanksgiving dinner by Lilys brother. It's sad that he doesn't really have anyone in his life he can count on. It's interesting to know that all the times that his actions were perceived as bullying he was really trying to help in someway. He has a sweet side to him and it would be nice for him to feel like he can be himself and not put up anymore walls. The man bracelet scene was funny. I can't wait to see how he finds out that Lily is the pen pal. (hide spoiler)]

Finished.

Cade (view spoiler)[I loved that he knew as well and it was sweet how he told Lily. I think that he is a nice person, he may have come off otherwise in the beginning, but after all his abandonment issues it makes some sense why he puts up so many walls. I am glad that Lily is there for him and he has someone to confide in. (hide spoiler)]

Lilys siblings (view spoiler)[it was nice that they gave her money for a new guitar. I am glad that Wyatt admitted it was him. I felt bad for Jonah how she shut him out when he really was innocent in the end. (hide spoiler)]

I loved this it was cute, very predictable, but a lot of fun to read.

I'm done too! So glad you liked it Amanda
I agree, this one was very cute but a little predictable

Cade(view spoiler)[ I agree, he was kind of....rude to her in the beginning but so was she. I don't think he was ever a bully or really straight out mean to her. maybe a little....cocky....
The drama with Sasha was awful. I was glad when it all worked out (hide spoiler)]

Siblings(view spoiler)[ I agree. it was rough that she was so mad at Jonah but found out it was Wyatt. I'm glad it all worked out (hide spoiler)]
