Just because I'd read your review of Not a Drop & I also have my own ideas of what I think are CCs. Huh. I didn't think the first book had sci-fi? I haven't read it -- I just mean that I hadn't heard of that part, mostly heard of its philosophical bent and as you already stated, its uniqueness.<br /><br />"I do love the bond these girls share, that when push comes to shove, they trust each other above everyone. I just wish it didn't come to pushing and shoving for them to realize that." <-- Ahhhhh. Like best friend drama but fitted to soul drama o.O?<br /><br />"an awkward romantic quadrangle" = mind blown. And not just because of the time right now but just even picturing that. also because i'd read an interview with the author and she'd pointed out that we're socialized to believe the amorous things of the joined souls might be awkward but maybe in another world it wouldn't be as awkward. <br /><br />"I was being told a lot more instead of being shown who was in control of whose body at any given time. Maybe it was because the characters have been around each other long enough and grown accustomed to each other that they no longer have to decipher who is who...it's just so obvious." <-- in that interview, she said that she'd had a hard time still showing the character backstories since the story had expanded and the cast was growing too fast, too many souls in so few bodies.<br /><br />I hope the third one works better for you!Christina Reads YAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937783114868207494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-37413276357746237052013-09-23T10:09:39.313-05:002013-09-23T10:09:39.313-05:00I really enjoyed the first one.

I hope I enjoy this one as much as the first. thanks for sharing.

In the last comment I mentioned your review of What's Left of Me... and after going back to re-read it, it was the other Jen. 0_0 So sorry! I think I seriously need a vacation... and badly!!! Anyway, as I was saying originally, I'm still quite a bit undecided on this series. Parts of me want to read it, then parts of me are not sure I have time to fit it in with all of the others. Glad you enjoyed it though! And sorry about the crazy comments today! :P I'll just stop talking now...Lisa @ Lost in Literaturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455487013837461160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-67022084275545216212013-09-20T14:53:41.246-05:002013-09-20T14:53:41.246-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Lisa @ Lost in Literaturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455487013837461160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-63107886719843794142013-09-20T14:11:32.896-05:002013-09-20T14:11:32.896-05:00I haven;t read this series, but its on my list bec...I haven;t read this series, but its on my list because the idea is so intriguing.<br /><br />Kate @ <a href="http://exlibriskate.com/" rel="nofollow">Ex Libris</a><br />Kate @ Ex Librishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161681565485372950noreply@blogger.com
