Not So Young YA Bookclub discussion

Here is the thread for the discussion of:

I'm getting excited - I really hope it's as good as it looks!

i like the cover

There is another edition with a flower on the front and one petal looks like a tongue....ewwww....

I will start in a few days after I get another book or two finished!

I like this cover too. This book sounds good..I will definitely be reading along with this one.

I haven't been able to start, yet, but will try in a day or two. Has anyone else already started?

I haven't started yet either. Probably next week. I was a little ambitious when I decided what to read this month lol.

Finally have my copy and am ready to start!

Well, I flew through this and loved it immensely! I will try to write a few thoughts about the different parts here when I get a moment, but it was so intense, I couldn't stop while I was reading and post stuff!

A couple of quotes from the 'After' section:
In time, you became a man, and all at once, I became this.
...
There was never a hope. I'm entitled to nothing. There is no one to tell, and no way to tell it, as I am now. I couldn't find words even if I was able. No words could ease this unbearable weight. I cry to my willow tree: robbed of years, robbed of dignity, language, tranquility. Last of all, cruelest, robbed of you.

This first part was painful for me to get through!
