Vicci Audio Nerd & Ezi - Jane's Melody

Hi Vicci,
Just me and you on this one :D

Wahoo!
I need to set out a reading plan this month lol

Ok. I kind of started this while on the treadmill today.
It starts sad, so the title becomes clear immediately.

Lady, I am all over the freaking place. I am listening to Discovery of Witches at work...then at the gym, I have this one via audible.

I am liking this one more though. Its a pretty deep story already

Ooh sneaky miss lol.
I'm literally just finished The Edge of Never which was super cute.

I'm starting Monsters of Men with Kristin as well today sometime but i can mix the 2.

I'll start in a while, where are you up to?

I enjoyed the Edge of Never, but the sequel was not as good!!!!

I am up to Chapter 5 and I had to look this word up "Synesthesic":
It's a sensation produced in one modality when a stimulus is applied to another modality, as when the hearing of a certain sound induces the visualization of a certain color.

Okay, so the book starts a little sad for me. Have you ever watched a show called Intervention on A&E? that's what this book has been like for me.

Melody: (view spoiler)[ They don't really tell us when exactly she turned to drugs and alcohol or why? At least not yet.
But it looks like she was deep in it.

I wonder if there was some kind of trauma/rape/loss etc. (hide spoiler)]

.......ummm! !!

Haven't seen that show, just downloading it now, should start it in 5 so won't read the spoiler yet.

dont read the spoiler, but I need to talk about this one. Take your time and finish your other book and then you can decide if you will do this one or Deeper by Robin York next.

I am enjoying this one though.

Not starting deeper till Monday, and another one at the same time lol.

Jane and her family: (view spoiler)[ i am wondering if she never had an issue with substances because everyone else in her family seem to be addicts.

I feel bad that she had to bury her daughter so early in life, but her daughter didn't seem to want to live life to the fullest (in a healthy way I mean) (hide spoiler)]

Grace drinking: (view spoiler)[ I think it's a tad rude for Grace to drink in front of Jane considering she just buried her daughter. Grace can drink on her own (hide spoiler)]

ok just started, omg how awful ! I wonder who the man is and what the coin means?

Vicci Audio Nerd wrote: "ok just started, omg how awful ! I wonder who the man is and what the coin means?"

yes, the man is important! Good, pay attention!

Jane is walking around like a zombie going through the motions, huh? I want to know more about Melody.

Great title by the way, right?

Yes really good, I was expecting a singer/writer type thing.

Sounds like (view spoiler)[ addiction runs in the family, her, her husband and also her daughter!
Going to the place where her daughter died , must be so difficult for her (hide spoiler)]

CHEEKY BITCH! !! (view spoiler)[ I can't believe that girl just asked her for rent money!!! You just know that isn't going toward rent! (hide spoiler)]

Vicci Audio Nerd wrote: "CHEEKY BITCH! !! [spoilers removed]"

I was totally expecting that, but I can't believe she gave it. First of all, we don't know if it's true. Second, I don't trust that girl since it seems like she gave up/sold or used some of Melody's possessions. She claimed they shared, but who knows?

Jane is trying to assuage her guilt, that is why she gave her that $86

Just read your spoilers, agree with everything you said.

Omg it's him !!

That's my 3 yr old son's name "Caleb"...what do you think about Caleb? He seems like he is just down on his luck as opposed to homeless people who are battling addiction demons etc

Well he's just walked off so not really met him properly yet, in the pub with Grace at the minute, her drinking hmmmm!

Chapter 5, Grace's husband: (view spoiler)[ Ok, this isn't funny, but seriously? Dude pee'd in his sock drawer AND THEN went to the bathroom to flush the toilet?
WOW. No words!!!

I wonder why Grace hasn't put him out yet? I don't think I can't live with that for 6 years unless there are attempts to deal with the addiction (hide spoiler)]

Just met the musician again on the park bench, he's been beaten up / fighting, and he's been robbed......ahh bless him

Nice to meet you Caleb..

Holy cow, you have caught up fast. What speed are you listening to?

Just normal speed lol

I'm 58 minutes in

Well, you are just a chapter behind me. And I am about to go to dinner with the hubby and kids (Friday night family time) so i guess I am done for a few hours.

Have a good evening Vicci--I'll pick back up tomorrow

You too chick, won't be about tomorrow as singing at a festival so will listen for a while and catch up with you on Sunday, have a great weekend x

Have a great time singing Vicci. Thanks for reading with me. Do you want me to wait until Sunday or Monday so we can pick back up?

No its fine Eni, carry on and I'll just read your spoilers lol.

Ok. Take care my friend. 5pm is quitting time at work. Woo Hooo!

Haha its 11pm here so getting ready for bed, how weird is that!
Mind you I've been speaking to people all over the USA Today, Washington and NYC, San Francisco and Pensylvania!!

I think I suspected Caleb's confession re Melody, didn't you? I really saw that coming.

The Doritos eating, tv watching episode was cute and funny. I like this story.

A new pet...that Caleb is a bleeding heart...or should I say bleating? LOL

15 years is a lot.

BTW, her mother and brother Jonathan are awful. That family is messed up. I want to know about melody's upbringing.

Austin is still the plan?

Right literally just got a taxi home and going to bed, slightly drunk lol.
Had a brilliant day, we rocked the place!!
You are waayyy ahead of me now lol, I'm going to listen now and catch up tomorrow, but sane has only just taken Caleb home and offered him money to do her gardening!

I was waiting for Grace to make her move! I was just waiting for it. Uggghhh

The ex:
(view spoiler)[ I get why she would be insecure about that twit, but seriously, getting hammered? With her family's history? (hide spoiler)]

re Grace: I knew it!
(view spoiler)[ I thought cancer, but I knew she was sick. So sad! She is the one constant in Jane's life! (hide spoiler)]

I finished. Don't read my review until you finish.

I really liked this one and wished I had bought the second book when they both were $1.99 :(

Calebs confession (view spoiler)[ I wasn't expecting that, I thought that he was going to turn out to be her dealer! (hide spoiler)]

Haha cops at the door, bad timing!

ergh her mother is vile!

OMG I'm cringing so bad right now haha! Rock chick dancing lol

Ahh no Grace, this will hit Jane really bad.

Exactly! I was think that, why would she even think about getting smashed??
