  • @amandaf6383 I was obsessed with all the books but I actually don't like Nate or Emi. But I LOVED the 2nd and 3rd books.

    The spin off series is called Choisie. It picks up off of something from the third book.

    I couldn't finish We Need to Talk About Kevin, it just didn't keep me hooked as much as I needed it to. Good job for trying to get all the way through!
