Started tonight. Only read 20 pages but I think this is going to be a great book.
hello! excited for this one! I'll catch up a bit today :)
I'm on Chapters 28 - these chapters are super short lol!
Can't remember what chapter I'm on haha...maybe 20? I know it was page 50 cause I'm reading it physically.
Omg you guys are so much farther than I am. I’m like on chapter 10 hahaha 😂 hoping to get some good reading in right now we are so slow at work
No worries, Courtney. I'm quite a bit further now, but no rush. This books is breaking my heart ;(
I think it’s about to tug on mine too 😩
Where about are you in the story? Don't want to spoil anything lol
I had to pause a bit on this one, I'm gonna try to read it again later today! my audible has been acting up, it won't play it lol
For some reason, I'm not getting the notifications. Bloody goodreads lol. No worries. I would say I am 60% into this one, but no rush. I want to keep reading it, but will need to pause it for today at least as I have some books from the library that I need to get too.
Annoying with audible though...strange. Never happened to me.
Hey sorry Goodreads isn’t giving me my notifications either I am literally doing it the old fashioned way and going through the group to get to this buddy read. I probably won’t finish until Sunday.. work has been….work 🤣
Hey, it may have been fixed now as I got this notification. All good, no rush though. I still have about 200 pages I think. I wanted to share some thoughts but I didn't want to spoil anything lol.
yeah I had to uninstall it and reinstall! don't know what happened but it's working fine now :) i read quite a bit yesterday, up to chapter 82! I'm feeling very sad for Patch :'(
Glad to hear its sorted now. I finished yesterday. I know...how horrendous to be locked up in complete darkness for so long. I feel for Saint as well.
I'm so heartbroken for all of them :'( I'm on chapter 112. patch is just roaming the country at this point :/
What do you think? Is Grace real?Also reading about him trying to paint her and then travelling the country basically in search for her but in the process helping other families remember their missing daughters...heartbreaking :'(
Where it should have been Patch?
I do admire Saint to be honest...just her determination.
I want to believe she's real, but I'm also thinking she might not be... i don't know where else she could've gone :/ especially since patch was found shortly after the fire, how and why would she run off?
POTENTIAL SPOILER COURTNEY! it should've been Patch who Saint should've married :( I used to root for Jimmy, but seeing the kind of husband he is, I feel like Saint deserves better.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly about Grace. I have to say that there are some twists I wasn't expecting.
I’m not reading the comments lol because I’m only a little less than half sorry guys lmao 🤣 I hope to finish this FOR sure this week at work
LOL COURTNEY DON'T READ SPOILERI felt the same way about Saint marrying Jimmy. At first I thought he was ok, not the perfect choice but maybe and then he turned into a terrible husband. I just don't think he was at her level ever. I really feel for Saint as she still loves Patch. Unfortunately after what the ordeal that he went through, Patch is following a different path I guess. What did you think about him and Misty?
no worries Courtney! POTENTIAL SPOILER COURTNEY!!
yes, I just read where she had an abortion and Jimmy beat her :'( literally felt so gut wrenching to listen to that! it's 6 years after Patch was released from jail, I'm so sad for him and Saint still. I wish they would get together :'( I love Norma! she's so cute, always offering to take them out for ice cream :'). I didn't really like Misty for him, it definitely felt like she was only there to settle her debts honestly. I liked that Patch got to save her again! and that they had their little moment together.
SPOILER SORRY COURTNEYOh my God, I know...I had a feeling he was going to be a total bastard about it also because of how religious he was. She is free of him now, but it was a high price to pay.
I felt sad when she had to take Patch in, but she was doing what she believed was right.
I like Norma too though she kind of pushed Jimmy forward to Saint. I understood her reasoning. She believed he was a good person and she didn't want for Saint to keep waiting for Patch.
Yeah, I didn't care that much for Misty. In a way I felt like she was a spoiled rich kid though she did improve later on.
SPOILER COURTNEY! yeah she definitely pushed Jimmy on her! Even knowing that Saint didn't love him. I just realized what she told Saint when they first got married - "he'll be good to you, I promise" 😭
I'm at the part where Patch met his daughter!! I'm so shocked!! Although I am liking misty more now than when she was younger! But I'm still sad for Saint :'( she loves patch so much :'(
SPOILER COURTNEY! Omg misty has cancer!! I can't handle it 😭😭😭
SPOILER COURTNEY SORRY LOLI know Norma wanted her to be happy and not wait forever for Patch but she was so wrong. I hated Jimmy.
I wasn't expecting the daughter for sure. But I did like Misty better and I think she had the right approach about introducing Patch to his daughter, wanting to make sure he stuck around in a way. Ultimately sad about Misty even if I didn't like her for Patch :'(((
SPOILER COURTNEY! yeah I agree! I love Charlotte though!! I got to the part where Patch killed Jimmy!!! what the heck?! my mouth literally dropped open! ugghhhh I'm so sad for him! but I loved the way he sees Saint, as the best person he knows who is selfless, and only gives, never takes :'(
SPOILER COURTNEY!!omg it was only a single punch?! :'(
SPOILER COURTNEYI wasn't too sure about Charlotte to start with to be honest, but she did grow on me. She is definitely fierce lol.
I was not expecting Patch killing Jimmy at all, he just snapped I guess when he realised who he was. Was it a single punch? Now I have to go back and read it. In my head it was more that that. Maybe it was just a punch and he seriously cracked his head when hitting the floor.
SPOILER COURTNEY!!yeah, that's exactly what happened! he punched and Jimmy fell and hit his head on a rock :/ but OMG he found her!!! she was that man's father the whole time?! I never would've seen that coming! it makes sense now how she would have been able to disappear!
SPOILER COURTNEYOh yes, I remembered then, don't know why it was something else in my head to start with. It was really extremely bad luck. I know....he did, I was beginning to lose hope lol. But yes, it makes sense that he was her father and he kept her around to basically help lure girls. Horrendous.
You're almost done with it. There is something else towards the end I wasn't expecting.
SPOILER COURTNEY!Also I felt so sad about the doctor and chief Nix...that they couldn't be back together :'((. Sure he made a mistake and that poor girl died, but he ultimately was helping her and others.
SPOILER COURTNEY! yes I'm so heartbroken for them! i wish the chief was able to stay, I was so conflicted seeing that he had killed that one man. I love that the doctor would rather die in prison than to tell anyone about what he was doing for the girls :'( anything to keep their secret :'(. and I can't believe that Saint ended up having the baby, and giving him up for adoption! I'm so sad :'(
them finding patch on a sail boat with a flag that had a skull and crossbones almost made me cry!!!
wow, I loved this book!! great pick, guys :')
SPOILER COURTNEYPeople who abuse children, especially their own, are a whole new level of evil. I know the chief took the matter into his own hands, but I do understand it. He also probably thought with the doctor dying, there was no point in him carrying on I guess. Sad that the doctor got out too late for them to be together.
I understood why she gave up the baby...she didn't want Jimmy being the father and she didn't think herself in the right space to raise him. It did look like he had a loving family and I'm holding on to hope that he will decide to know her.
I did like the ending...I felt like it was hopeful.
I almost teared up a few times in the book but didn't actually cry.
I remember when I read his other book, We begin at the end, I properly sobbed lol
Glad to hear you loved it, Bella! Me too <3
SPOILER COURTNEY yes, I agree! I'm happy he took the matter in his own hands, but I didn't understand why at the time and while I wanted to trust the chief, I was scared he would end up on the wrong side of it! i was thinking it was going to be that the chief was in on it the whole time!
it was a very hopeful ending!! omg I'm gonna have to read that one too! :')
SPOILER COURTNEYI know, I was the same, confused at the time, but I refused to believe he was in on it...it seemed a bit too much. Though I have to say I did suspect the doc had something to do with it and he didn't in the end.
I felt so too.
Haha, I would definitely recommend it ;)
I’m reading right now I’ve been so burnt out lately guys but I definitely love this book so far its one that sticks with you I can already tell- not reading the comments trying to finish asap
