Do you think the different personalities of all the girls will make it hard for them to live with each other? 4.

 * Questions:**

Today we talked about how all the characters are so different. Allie (from the book) is very nice, a little overly nice we all thought. We think that her being so nice might be bad. Alli made a good point that something may happen from her being too nice. Phoebe said that since all the girls are so different they might have a lot of problems living together. We all agreed that Emma is a little too open. Dina made a good point that since she is so open and messy that Jodine might get really mad at her because she is so clean. We also all think it is really weird and unsafe that Allie put flyers up trying to find roomates. We think that in the end they will all hate each other because they are so different. = Week 2: =


 Jobs- Group leader- Dina Questions- Alli Food- Phoebe Summary- Jane

Questions: 1. Are you surprised by how much better the roommates get along? 2. If you were Emma's roommate how would you react to her behavior? 3. Do think the way this book is written makes it easy to read? 4. Were you surprised how they reacted when there was the fire?

Today in book club we discussed the language of the book. We all agreed that the book is easy to read but confusing. Jane thinks that book is not interesting that much. Phoebe thinks that the book gets better after you get farther and that it's going to be better. Dina thinks that the book is interesting and she likes the topic of the book and Ali loves the book. We were not that shocked about the fire that happened because at the beginning of the book it tells you that there will be a fire but we were shocked by the way that the girls reacted. We would have left the house much faster than they did and call 911 sooner not just stand there.

=Week 3 =  Jobs- Group leader- Jane Questions- Phoebe Food- Alli Summary- Dina

Questions: 1. Do you think that the Halloween party that they held will be successful and raise money to fix the kitchen? 2. Do you think that it is cheating people by telling them that it is held by a sorority? 3. What is the mood of the book? 4. Do you think that Allie will ever tell Clint that she loves him and wants to date him?

The mood in the book so far is upbeat and happy. All the girls are starting to get along. We think the Halloween party at the club will be successful because the girls put up a lot of signs and ads for it. We do think it is cheating people by telling them it is run by a sorority because it's not true and it is really being thrown by 3 girls to raise money for their apartment. Allie loves Clint but we all agree that she is too quiet and too scared to tell him how she feels about him.

Jobs- Group Leader- Alli Questions- Jane Food- Dina Summary- Phoebe

Questions: 1. Do you think the characters changed a lot so far throughout the book? 2. In your opinion was the Halloween party a success? 3. If you were one of their roommates you would become good friends with them like they all did?

So far we have all been enjoying the book. The characters change there behavior towards each other but not there own selves. They now act like friends and not just people that are forced to live with each other because it was the only place that they could afford. We all agree that their Halloween party was a success because they raised a lot of money but they in way cheated people out of their money with the fliers because all the fliers were different. Jane thought that she would be good friends because they are forced to see each other every day of every week and Phoebe agrees. Dina and Alli thought that it would be kind of hard to become good friends with them because they have nothing in common.
