Sorry I'm a slacker E. Here's our group!
So I'm going to be honest and let you know that I only made it to page 64/65 today. I think I forgot how much attention to detail these books take, because you can't just skim through them like I do with YA sometimes. So far though? I absolutely agree with you about the characters. Nick is a crazy people pleaser, and Amy wants to make me tear my hair out. It's like she's trying so hard to NOT to be that woman that she thinks guys hate, that she's a whole different type of messed up. I guess living up to her parents and their "perfect marriage" might do that to a woman though. Especially if her fictional self is constantly better than she is. Sad.
I'm going to go do some more reading, but I'll check back in before I go to bed :).
Made it to page 97! Will post more coherent thoughts when I wake up in the morning.
Sweet baby Tom Cruise, this book is finally starting to come together for me. I'm beginning to understand Amy, even if I don't like her, and I think I know what Nick is trying to hide. Let me know if I can state my predictions here, or if you prefer I don't.
Go for it! I want to see were on the same page. I made it to page 133 and I'm beginning to shift in the way I feel about the characters. Now I just feel sad for both of them.
Same here. Okay, I think Nick was cheating on her and she knew it. I believe her notes are leading him toward her, as in she's behind all this because she wants him to appreciate her. Or, she's dead. lol
LOL! I'm kind of hoping she's NOT dead, but I wouldn't put it past this author. I agree on the fact I think he was cheating. I mean, he has a disposable cell phone that he's NOT answering calls on? Odd. I also think her notes are leading her to him. I remembered that in one of her diary entries she was debating on leaving just to make him worry. I think she finally did it.
Have you reached the mall yet?
Yup! It's intriguing that Amy wanted to buy a gun, is it not?
Yup yup. I just did a status update on BL about that lol
I just saw it. Hahahaha. You think it was woman on woman violence? THE HORROR!
LOL! Yep. I think so. Here's a break down of what I think happened.

Amy found phone. Wrote all her notes about how "BRILLIANT" and "WITTY" Nick was. Phoned the other woman. They met at the house. Amy tried to kill her. Other woman wrestled gun away. Killed Amy. Disposed of body.

That's how I would have wrote it anyway. I know, I know, I'm probably WAY off base, but I like that story and I'm sticking to it :P
*applauds* Hell, I'd read that. I'm thinking that at the very least Nick must have had something to do with her leaving, even if it wasn't the other woman thing. *sigh* These characters are just AWFUL to one another.
Hell, if that's not how it goes, I'm going to write one like it lol
Need help?
