My daughters have read it and I think I'll make this my next read.  They are excited about the movie as well.

Read it-----didn't like it. *gasp* I know I'm not in the norm about this one. Just "too out there" for me. It just left me baffled.

Read it and HATED it.  Actually I really really like the beginning and the middle, but the end SUCKED and it just ticked me off.  It is the first and only review I have ever written on amazon about a book.

It is the only one of her books that I haven't read...I've read the sample and was like "meh"....maybe I need to give it another go.  Right now I'm reading Saving CeeCee Honeycutt.  So far, it's great!

LOL! I hated it too. Intriguing but the ending just made me mad. I walked around for a few days shaking my head and saying "REALLY?" to friends who had also read it. Glad I'm not alone Image

HAHA Beth.  Me too.  I just couldn't get over it.  I even approached random people I saw reading it and asking what they thought.  I mean, everyone likes it.  I had to wait  6 months just to be able to check it out from the library.  So, how could all these people love it and I hated it.  Sigh, thinking about it annoys me a little bit.  It was so good, and then it was like she got tired of writing it and just ended it.

It is definitely a polarizing book! Many people have strong feelings both ways to it. I don't like the way it ended, but then again it seemed so out there like the book that it made sense to me. I am just glad it has prompted good conversation Image

I waited months to check it out from library as well. Wasn't my favorite. I didn't hate it but didn't love it. It got such high reviews but not my style.
