What Has Become of You | Jan Elizabeth Watson

Vera! Vera! What has become of you? I want to read this book just bc the title and the main characters name is Vera. But I've read some not so stellar reviews and don't know if I should read it just bc the title has lyrics from a Pink Floyd song I like. Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?

And we are no longer friends 😔

erinreads Your friend is not alone! This was the first Colleen Hoover book I didn't really cry while reading. I DID cry while reading the author notes at the end, though. 8y
Bombastic_beth @erinreads Wow. I'm surprised. I cried in this book more than any of her other books. Did you at least enjoy it? 8y
erinreads @Bombastic_beth I didn't hate it, but it definitely isn't my favorite of hers. 8y

When I first read this part I thought it was so messed up, but I thought for a minute and realized how brutally honest it is. We'd all like to sit here and think how much better we are than that. If put in a situation like his, I think this thought would cross all of our minds.

I don't even have words that will adequately describe how I feel right now. I was worried this book wasn't going to live up to the hype, but I had nothing to worry about. It might just be my favorite Colleen Hoover book. I need to get back to my crying now.

I'm always a sucker for a Colleen Hoover book. What I'd really like to do right now is not go to work and finish this book, but alas I must be an adult 😭

This book is so much fun! I love the cattiness of all these teenage girls. I've heard this book described as Mean Girls meets House of Cards and that is so accurate. Excited to see where all this scheming goes!!

Not an easy read, but definitely worth it. Cupcake has had a really hard life and overcomes so much. A truly inspiring story.

ReadingOver50 This book sounds amazing 8y
Bombastic_beth @ReadingOver50 It was! I was iffy about reading it because it was recommended by a friend, and I'm always the one who does the recommending. I'm so glad I gave it a chance. 8y

Took a while for me to get into this book, but once I did I absolutely loved it. Beautifully written with great characters. I love how all the different stores tie together in the end.

Laura317 My favorite book that I read last year. 8y
Jellybeanbon I also struggled at the start bit absolutely adored this book at the end. The character of Marie is truly unique and I enjoyed all the descriptions of everything she saw 8y
Bombastic_beth @Jellybeanbon I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was worried I was missing something bc I had read so many great reviews but struggled with it. I'm so glad I decided to stick it out. And I agree! Her descriptions were truly beautiful. 8y

Haven't been able to finish a book in over a month! I was long overdue for a reread of this book. Jessica reminds me so much of my high school self. I even did a project in my 10th grade English class with this title (my teacher didn't love it either).

I've started quite a few duds lately. I have a feeling a Morgan Matson book is just what I need to get out of my slump!

My favorite of the series. America seemed to lose some of her America-ness. I was looking for this book in the other two books so I finally got some of the things I was trying to get out of this series. The ending leaves a few things unresolved, but overall I liked it. Glad it's over though.

ShatterMeFangirl There is actually a follow up series starring her daughter (who is even MORE stubborn and annoying than America at times), but idk of you'd wanna read it or not. The One is the best of the series tho 8y

Perfect end to a beautiful series. I know plenty of people didn't enjoy this one as much as the others. I can understand the frustration. This book was at times heartbreaking, but it managed to rip me apart and put me back together again. Perfect.

This is THE. BEST. DAMN. BOOK. If I had to pick on book to read for the rest of my life, it would be this one. Holy wow!!! All the feelings. Read this book!!

MissCarrieLou I had like mini anxiety attacks after I read one book and had to wait to go pick up the next one in the trilogy. lol 8y
Bombastic_beth Oh me too. I wanted to dig right into the next book each time, but I also had to wait bc I couldn't deal with all the emotions that were about to happen. 8y

Once again I couldn't stand America. She was so wishy-washy thought the first half of the book that I almost didn't finish. Things started to pick up in the second half, and I look forward to seeing how America's story is wrapped up.

ShatterMeFangirl She's so stubborn omg!! 8y

I find it hard to believe that Dave's 11 year old son with special needs smoked his crack, but boy is it making me feel bad for him. Hopefully this will be an eye opener for Dave.

Bombastic_beth Or just dust off the crack, drink some bourbon, and pretend it never happened... 8y

Wow. This is disturbing. Dave is a perv. I know he has problems, but I think I'm going to have a hard time feeling any sympathy for him.

Gah! America, why must you be so annoying? Other than that I really enjoyed this book, and I can't wait to see where book 2 takes this story.

America can't have one single flaw?! She's self deprecating, but I think that's supposed to be a positive attribute. 🙄

So completely thought provoking at times, but so completely not my cup of tea. Vonnegut seems to be obscure just to be obscure. There would be a page that would have me pondering the meaning of life, then the next 80 pages would bore me to tears.

Interesting! Perhaps not the best book to listen to. It was very factual and made me sleepy every time I listened to it. Still an enjoyable read, and I can't wait to watch the movie. I think this may be one instance where the movie is better than the book.

I'll continue to read it bc it's John Grisham and his writing is engaging, but I'm about 3/4 of the way done with this book, and I haven't felt like there is any kind of actual story. Some of his cases are interesting, but I don't see this going anywhere.
