KOTLC discussion

okay, so how are we going to attempt this?

Woo hoo! I love this!

eee me too

we could go, like, chapter by chapter? or do a check in after every few chapters? or do like one book a week?

saame i read fast and don't want to be like too fast

five chapters a day works for me tho, idk abt carrlene or anybody else who would like to participate

ooh this sounds fun... and i've been wanting to re-read these books for awhile (i seriously haven't read book 1 since around age 12 😂) also, need time to stall until book 9!

Ayeee could I possibly join? I think I can steal my copy back from my little sister for 5 chapters a day haha

ofc! everyone is welcome

Good with me! I read the first one in one day teh first time i read it, but i think itll be a good change of pace to read it slower!

Sounds good! I’ll let Harry know (Keefe Jr

Good with me too!

So are we doing 5 chapters a day or 2 chapters a day?

i think 5! but im honestly not sure

I heard Carrlene’s plan soooooo.....

LETS GET DOWN TO BUSINESS

Just got the book 2 min ago

I don’t know how long the chapters are but let’s stay on the short side

three chapters works for me!!

I’m down

I was talking with Carrlene and we said on and off every other day two and three chapters sorry I’m kindof busy

Ooh so like we basically have 2 days to read 3 chapters? That would work great

Perfect!

Are we starting today?

Awesome!

yay! i'll het started after school then

i had some family stuff and couldn't finish, but i'm a fast reader and i'll finish up now

AHH! Okay about the reading from the last two days... aaaaah the nostalgia! I am in LOVE with these scenes, it’s so cool to see them from another perspective now that I’ve read the series, and Fitzy had me fangirling so hard, he gets me every time

Okay, I am down, I was honestly reading the book when I found out we were all buddy-reading. What chapter are we supposed to be???

I LOVE Fitz!!!

"Where have you been?" she demanded--a little too loudly. Several heads turned their way. "Do you have any idea what I've been going through?"
"Missed me bad, huh?" he whispered, flashing a cocky smile.
She felt the blood rush to her face and looked away to hide her blush.

(KOTLC- pg. 44)

Why did Fitz totally give me Keefe vibes right here???

omg yes

OKAY IVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THAT SCENE FOR FOREVER BECAUSE HE ACTED SO MUCH LIKE KEEFE AND I HAVE A THEORY!!! So you guys know the whole “Keefe wasn’t supposed to exist” thing? Well if you don’t, Shannon wasn’t originally planning for him to exist but when Sophie was going to the healing center she needed more action so she had her meet a boy who was ditching class and BADABINGBADABOOM! KEEFE WAS BORN! So, as a result of this, Keefe sorta got the best qualities that were supposed to be for Keefe and Dex, and I think this scene was written before Keefe existed, so maybe Fitz was supposed to have Keefe’s joking charm but Keefe stole it

*Fitz and Dex

I know!!!! I’ve literally been thinking about that scene for so long because it’s low key been bugging me how Keefe that was

This theory has also lead me to believe that Dex was supposed to be a love interest and much more involved in the love triangle, but Keefe sorta swooped in and was like “haha, nope” XD

Lol I doubt that Clem.

You can think about it like Keefe was his own character who took on a life of his own and wasn’t necessarily “created” by Shannon messenger but was just so epic that it was inevitable that he be a part of the books

Half of us literally wouldn’t be here. Although I have a feeling Dex would have been more like Keefe tbh

Oh my goodness!!! I never really thought about that, but when I read this scene, I couldn't NOT share my thoughts!!!

CARRLENE THAT THEORY OMG I CANT IF THATS TRUE NOOOO

Also did anyone feel like in the later books shannon started giving fitz some more keefe like lines also to attepmt to make some of us like him more again?

😂 Fitz definitely has some of Keefe in him, but imma be straight up honest, as much as I love Fitz, his character development isn’t 100% clear to me if you know what I mean. Like if you asked me what his most defining character trait was, I’d probably say teal

HAHAHAHA SO TRUE THO!!!! (i mean i might say jerk since imo thats what he becomes more through the books, but other than that yeah teal fits fitz so perfectly)

Okay I just thought of a really fun game, I’ll say a word, you guess the character then open the spoiler. This is the easy round, I might do another if you guys like it!

Hair= (view spoiler)[ Keefe (hide spoiler)]
Salt= (view spoiler)[ Tam (hide spoiler)]
Teal= (view spoiler)[ Fitz (hide spoiler)]Sparkles= (view spoiler)[ Biana (hide spoiler)]
Pockets= (view spoiler)[ Sophie (hide spoiler)]
Cinnamon roll= (view spoiler)[ Dex (hide spoiler)]
Pure kindness= (view spoiler)[ Linh (hide spoiler)]
KEEFE! KEEFE! KEEFE!= (view spoiler)[ Silveny (obvi) (hide spoiler)]

I guessed all of them right except for Biana!

Bravo!!! Did you get her mixed up with Silveny? Cause that could work too

Same. Also, I'd say his character trait is probably how trustworthy he is.

I'm not sure, but I'm on page 113, I think!!! :)

What book are you guys reading?

the first one
