YA Buddy Readers' Corner ♥ discussion

Cutler Ryder was everything I wasn't.

He was the hockey star. I was an outcast.
He was best friends with my stepbrother, that same stepbrother who hated me.
His two parents loved him. My mom was a junkie. My dad barely knew me.

Years passed.
I got my life together.
Cut went onto NHL stardom.

Then there was a text.
I was drinking.
There was a party.
Cut was there...

I loved Cutler Ryder since the first moment I saw him.
The only problem? He never knew I existed.

24% (view spoiler)[what a crazy start. I’m loving this now that I understand the heroine more but hyper isn’t even the word. Though I think in many ways I can relate, I could swear I feel just like her some days. And I’m sorry but Chad and her dad/stepmom were horrible people. How could they not even try and get her actual help? It’s painful how they treated her (hide spoiler)]

44% (view spoiler)[Damn but I really like him, she’s doing everything she can to scare him away and I don’t think he’s going to give her up. Funny too how early on how he said he didn’t do “crazy.” (hide spoiler)]

84% (view spoiler)[I don’t know how I feel about what just happened with Natalie. It’s nice she apologized but the whole she treated Cheyenne when she was a child is unforgivable. And her apology is years too late 😢 (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[I absolutely loooooooved this book. It was so damn good and I loved how Cut was so dang protective of her. And the epilogue was awesome, I didn’t even love that it was a little rushed and condensed, it worked with the story and how jumbled Cheyenne’s mind was. I went into this fairly blind since I a,ready loved this author but this book 😍😍😍😍😍 Really hope you enjoy it yourself, my fingers are crossed lol (hide spoiler)]

28%

(view spoiler)[ Okay this is a little intense at the beginning, lots of info. Seems like its almost a forbidden love kind of story. (hide spoiler)]

50%

(view spoiler)[ Okay does she really want to push him away or not.....she's working hard at it but I think she'll hate herself if it actually works. (hide spoiler)]

80%

(view spoiler)[ Wow mother of the year not. (hide spoiler)]

Finished

(view spoiler)[ Okay I didn't love it like you but I can see why you did. It was good. I liked the way she fought against it so much but he gradually won her over. She did come across as crazy at parts and her mum....I would have walked away and never looked back. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yeah full on from the start, at least it captures you and there was no slow build up. (hide spoiler)]

❀ Crystal ✿ - wrote: "44% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah his cute and she needs to stop before she actually pushes him away. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ It was good but I didn't squeal like you lol. (hide spoiler)]

Well I’m glad u didn’t hate it at least lol. The beginning really was insane until you realize it was on purpose lol

Starting this one now!

I am going to read this, but probably not until Monday or so

4%
(view spoiler)[ so that prologue was interesting. I don’t know how I feel about Cheyenne yet, which means I can’t know to be offended or not on her behalf with the way her “family” treats her. I do think her attitude towards Cut is a little weird though (hide spoiler)]

9%
(view spoiler)[ Still not sure about these characterizations. Cut was a little too extra for me considering he doesn’t even know who Cheyenne is (hide spoiler)]

17%
(view spoiler)[ Well I’m glad the secret of who Cheyenne is isn’t getting drawn out (hide spoiler)]

21%
(view spoiler)[ Hmm. I wonder what story Chad was given about Cheyenne. But I also wonder if there’s truth to it. I still don’t feel like I know enough about Cheyenne to have an opinion on his behavior towards her (hide spoiler)]

32%
(view spoiler)[ I finally feel like I can understand Cheyenne a little bit more now. Which means I also feel like her father and his family were really unfair to her (hide spoiler)]

61%
(view spoiler)[ I'm glad Cheyenne is able to have some sort of relationship with Hunter (hide spoiler)]

77%
(view spoiler)[ I genuinely don't understand how she keeps forgetting to take her meds. If they're as important as she seems to think they are, wouldn't she have a set routine for taking them? I could see a day here and there, but to go 5 days straight? It doesn't seem realistic to me (hide spoiler)]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Gotta say, I was surprised to learn about what Deek did, but aside from that, I'm glad to be done with this one. (hide spoiler)]

Started! Man that prologue was a lot

Ch 14 (view spoiler)[ I do like that the MC has some, how would you say it? Mental health issues? But being in her head is kind of rough. Bouncing around all over the place.
I'm glad she's made so much progress. It sucks that her kind of family doesn't want anything to do with her (hide spoiler)]

Yeah pretty intense

Katrina wrote: "9%
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah it seems weird that he would be so intensely attracted to her like that when he's sort of ambivalent toward women (hide spoiler)]

Katrina wrote: "21%
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ it seems like Chad's mom really made Cheyenne out to be a crazy girl when really she needed help (hide spoiler)]

Aly wrote: "Katrina wrote: "21%

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah, I can just imagine the sort of horrible things she was saying to him about her. You can't really blame him much when he's only ever known what his parents told him (hide spoiler)]

Ch 29 (view spoiler)[ I'm so glad Cheyenne told Cutler about her issues and he's decided to still be with her. Now for her asshole dad to get what he deserves (hide spoiler)]

Aly wrote: "Ch 29 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah, her father really is a piece of work. I don't understand how you could see your daughter struggling so much with something and just toss her aside instead of helping her (hide spoiler)]

Katrina wrote: "61%
[spoilers removed]"

Me too! He deserves to know his sister

Katrina wrote: "77%
[spoilers removed]"

Yeah (view spoiler)[ She's been on them for years and it's very important, but when Cut comes in she suddenly spaces? I don't think so (hide spoiler)]

Ch 44 (view spoiler)[ What Chad said to her is so fucked up and I'm kind of mad that Cut is still his friend. He should kick him out on his ass (hide spoiler)]

Aly wrote: "Katrina wrote: "77%
[spoilers removed]"

Yeah [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah I seriously hated that whole thing every time it came up (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ This was okay. I'm pretty happy that Chad fucked off and they didn't have anything to do with him after that.
Being in Cheyenne's head was rough and I hated that she kept trying to be a martyr and push Cut away for his own good. (hide spoiler)]

I'm so happy you loved this!

Mummy's Naughty Corner wrote: "Finished

[spoilers removed]"

Same feelings here. (view spoiler)[ I'm glad Cut kept fighting for her, even though a lot of people would have walked away after all that (hide spoiler)]

Katrina wrote: "Finished
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I feel you. I didn't love this, it was a mess. I didn't see the part with Deek coming either (hide spoiler)]

I'm so happy you loved this!"

Lol this author is definitely hit or miss. Sorry neither one of you enjoyed it so much. I loved her neurotic thoughts, I guess I felt more attuned to the MC with my crazy :P lol
