Masquerade Read-Along Week # 1

If you were disfigured like Heven (by some sort of accident) do you think you would have reacted the same way as her? (loss of self confidence, hiding yourself, etc)

A: I think her reaction is definitely understandable under her circumstances, but I don't think I'd be a as down as she was. I understand vanity is important to her, but I think she let it control her life too much.


Do you think that Kimber’s plan for revenge against Cole (for kissing another girl) is a good idea?

A: Worst idea ever! For a girl who loves him, I thought she was pretty immature to do it.


In the beginning chapters, Heven is very drawn to Sam but won’t admit it due to her own insecurities. Kimber begins to “date” Sam… do you think that Heven should have spoken up? Do think Kimber should have seen Heven’s real feelings? 


A: Yes, at some point I think she should've at least hinted to it. However, I can understand why she didn't with her insecurities. Kimber seemed to live in a more positive type of world than Heven, so no I don't think she should've noticed because Heven always acted the same.


Masquerade is broken in four separate POV’s: Heven, Sam, The Hate and The Hope. Do you think having multiple POV’s adds depth to the story? Why or why not? 


A: I think it will later on when things are cleared up. At this point in the book it's just keeps me confused to what is really going on.


A great source of strength for Heven is her grandmother. Who do you think yours is/would be?


A: I think my greatest strength or support system would be my family and friends. I know they're always around for me if I was to ever need that kind of help.
