I will have to check it out. I love reading the books before the movie comes out.

You will not be disappointed. The book is good. They also have movie previews already out if you want to see what it is going to look like Image

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.
