I'm in! :)

Ch. 3 (view spoiler)[I loved the whole subway thing. (hide spoiler)]

ch 4 (view spoiler)[ Her characters are so odd. I kind of loved the 3 Michaels thing and that she couldn't tell if he was killing the girl ot having sex. lol (hide spoiler)]

ch 5 (view spoiler)[ Wow! Paul has a girlfriend and a hook up, and then Eliza's thinking about her sex life!🙄I kind of love what she asked the barista lol (hide spoiler)]

ch 6 / July 24, 2000 (view spoiler)[ wow... I'm amazed Paul didn't ditch his friends. (hide spoiler)]

I agree to your Chapter 3-6 (view spoiler)[I’m really drawn to this authors writing style and her odd characters. The three Michael’s is funny. The bartender with the bulging fake eye, April who goes by Avril because it’s classier, Beth the hook up and having sex or killing her is too funny. Paul is different, but I respect he didn’t sell out and take the solo offer. (hide spoiler)]

July 25, 2000 (view spoiler)[ I really like that we get to read Paul’s journal recordings and get inside his head. I like how drawn he is to Eliza. I like that Paul has a bad boy and good boy vibe to him. (hide spoiler)]

July 25, 2000 [spoilers removed]"

I agree!

Chapter 14 (I think) (view spoiler)[I kind of loved the way Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus was woven into that scene at the club. (hide spoiler)]

End of Part 1(view spoiler)[ I hate that they signed with Winkle. I feel like that is going to cause a lot of problems. I liked "The Goddamn Single", though. wish it was made into a song like the Maybe Someday songs. I also feel like Loring might cause some issues maybe. (hide spoiler)]

Part 2, Ch. 1 (view spoiler)[I knew it! Loring has the hots for Eliza! (hide spoiler)]

November 12, 2000 (view spoiler)[ I'm so nervous about the Winkler offer over Jack's offer. I don't trust him.... (hide spoiler)]

Finshed (view spoiler)[I liked this one more than God-Shaped Hole. I wasn't shocked by the ending. I kind of saw it all coming, but I loved how it played out. I was sad that Eliza broke up her relationship with Paul and then ended up with Loring for a while. I felt bad for both Loring and Paul in that situation. Did you notice Trixie's cameo? She was Loring's new girlfriend! Now I want their book! (hide spoiler)]

End of Part 1 (view spoiler)[ I agree I just don’t think Paul is the type to deal with Winkle. He cracks me up that his pancreas hurts when he stresses. I like the song too. I agree Loring is going to be an issue. For him to say his dad told him all about her, she definitely had an affect on Doug and now maybe the son. Also, her not being able to fly is going to be a huge problem when he tours. (hide spoiler)]

Part 2 Chapter 1(view spoiler)[ Yep!! You called it. I felt it too! (hide spoiler)]

September 18, 2001 (view spoiler)[I'm getting a little nervous about this book, because I really like Loring. (hide spoiler)]

January 14, 2002 (view spoiler)[ I just don’t like the direction this book took. I’m not a fan of this kind of storyline, so I’m struggling to finish reading it. . (hide spoiler)]

August 4, 2002 just after Pail’s Journal entry (view spoiler)[Arghhhh I want to slap Paul and tell him to get over her she isn’t worth it and I want to tell Loring to stop being a sap and tell him to dump her she doesn’t love you. I think I hate this book! Hahahahaha (hide spoiler)]

That's so funny because (view spoiler)[ I actually liked this book more than her other one. I did dislike the whole love triangle thing. I wished she hadn't gone there with Loring. Keep reading, though!!! (hide spoiler)]

Finished, but I can’t rate this book yet I have to give it some time (view spoiler)[Okay what I can’t get past is her getting together with Loring. Of course Paul would sleep with other women since he was so hurt. The lie didn’t hold up for me. It was too much. She should of told him the truth when he started sleeping around and falling apart. Her turning to Loring after Paul slept with Amanda and Jilly was so wrong to both Paul and Loring. It wasn’t believable to me and made me not like her character. If I hadn’t read over 60% of the book when Eliza got together with Loring but kept thinking of Paul I would of DFN the book and given it a 1 rating, but I was so far in I forced myself to continue.

Totally knew Paul faked his death. Best part of the book was Trixie getting together with Loring, but I guessed that was going to be her cameo. He was a good guy and I knew he would end up with her. It was the best way to get past the fact that he was totally used by Eliza. I still love the author’s writing style and Eliza getting on the plane at the end was great. I also loved all of Paul’s recordings. (hide spoiler)]

I get what you're saying (view spoiler)[ I guess it didn't surprise me that she gave into Loring because he showered with attention and love when she was feeling let down by Paul --even though it was her own fault. (hide spoiler)]
