Final Discussion

Question 4 of 4

Tove_Reads I liked it. Felt like Quentins himself was a bit of an odd character, misplaced. I liked Derry, and in general the people in Ella‘s life, except the idiot. 5y

CarolynM It was a nice easy read. Not very realistic, but most of the time I didn't mind suspending disbelief. My favourite characters were the twins Ella was tutoring - they were very amusing. 5y

cobwebmoth I liked it. I was worried about how things would turn out, but I was satisfied with the ending. 5y

EadieB I liked this book a lot. I was glad to see characters from the other book, Scarlet Feather. I liked Derry too and my favorite part was when Don finally got arrested. 5y

Final Discussion

Question 3 of 4

Tove_Reads She made all the difference to him. He let go of the demons of his past. 5y

CarolynM Not wise at all and I'm not really sure I understood what she thought she was going to achieve. I was glad to see him in the hands of the police at last. 5y

cobwebmoth I don't think it was wise, but I'm glad it resulted with Don getting arrested. 5y

EadieB I don't think it was wise for her to meet Don especially by herself. I was glad the outcome was good and Don was arrested. 5y

Question 2 of 4

Tove_Reads She finally realized what a dbag he really is. Never loved her, lied to everyone. 5y

CarolynM I agree with @Tove_Reads It's a pity it took such an extreme event for her to wake up. 5y

cobwebmoth It finally woke her up to reality. I don't think I would have met him by myself. 5y

EadieB She finally realized that he was a liar and pretending he was dead was the last straw for her. 5y

Final Discussion

Question 1 of 4

Tove_Reads Well, no, because he‘d been there looking for it, and it was clearly a big deal. Hand it in the minute she found it. 5y

CarolynM No, not at all. The right thing to do would have been to hand it over to the authorities immediately. 5y

cobwebmoth No, I wasn't surprised. I agree that she should have turned it over to the authorities right away. 5y

EadieB I feel the same way as the others. She needs to hand it over to the police. 5y

Discussion of Part 3

Question 4 of 4

CarolynM I thought it was a bit strange that he didn't leave it to Brenda and Patrick or at least offer to sell it to them. But I found the manner of Quentin's involvement very unlikely all along so I guess what he did with it when he died made as much sense as what he did to start with. 5y

EadieB No I thought Quentin should have left Quentins to Brenda and Patrick too. 5y

Tove_Reads I felt it was a bit odd, the whole part with Quentins to begin with. He was so distant. 5y

Andrew65 Very strange that he didn‘t just leave it to Patrick and Brenda, after all they were the ones who made it. @CarolynM @Tove_Reads @EadieB I found the whole situation quite bizarre, why want a restaurant then go away? 5y

cobwebmoth I don't think his plan was bad, but all of his decisions have seemed a little strange. 5y

Discussion of Part 3

Question 3 of 4

CarolynM I like Derry but I find it a bit hard to believe that he would become friends with Ella at all and very hard to believe that it would happen so quickly. 5y

EadieB I think Derry has been very nice to Ella considering her circumstance with Don. I think Ella will finally wake up and learn from her mistakes. 5y

Tove_Reads Ella is growing up. Not everyone was born to make the right decisions at once. Derry seems to be a surprisingly decent guy, considering his field and all. 5y

Andrew65 @CarolynM Yes I too find it a bit surprising that it happened so quickly. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB Hopefully this will help her wake up to things. 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads I do like Derry. 5y

cobwebmoth I think Derry seems nice. I think his calm influence could be good for Ella. 5y

Discussion of Part 3

Question 2 of 4

CarolynM As before. The why is fairly obvious. Of course he's still looking for Ella because he wants the money he has left her access to. He thinks he still has a hold over her so she will hand over what're he asks for (including the money supposedly for her father). 5y

EadieB Yes I think he faked his death. He everyone to think he's dead in order to take the heat off of him. He will be looking for Ella for his computer and money. She like a fool will probably meet up with him. 5y

Tove_Reads Yes, faked it, yes, still looking for her. He‘s someone she has to get rid of once and for all. 5y

Andrew65 Well there was no body, which makes you think it was faked! If that is the case he will still be trying to get at Ella to get the laptop. They think this will make Ella and her friends relax. 5y

cobwebmoth Yes, I think he's still alive. I hope she comes to her senses and doesn't give into him. 5y
