I’m actually so happy Lynn didn’t put this in the book- this was so goofy 😭😭

Had THIS made it into the book, my rating of it would've dwindled with every word of the cursed chapter I just had the misfortune of reading.

[Lilian♡ · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was hilarious. Idk if I would have wanted it in the book, though. It would have changed the outcome of the book entirely

i can tell why this is a deleted scene.

[mara · Rating 1 out of 5]

thank god this shit was deleted- wtf was that

[Amalia · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well. I’m certainly glad that this scene was not included in the final story, but I suppose it was still funny to read? I’m not sure 😭

Це було смішно, це було незграбно, це було соромно…для Емілі.
Якщо це типу вирізана сцена, то автор правильно зробила, бо, ось тема сексу та такої ситуації в такій книзі. Ні до чого. Емілі виглядає повною дурепою.
Дякую за той поцілунок під снігом замість цього.

Anything she writes, I will read

[୨ৎ Annie ୨ৎ · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m glad this wasn’t in the book because it would’ve ruined the whole pg 13 vibe but it made a great exclusive scene

What

[Gabby readwithg · Rating 1 out of 5]

what did I just read.

[Fanny · Rating 3 out of 5]

Después de leer tantas reseñas terribles sobre esta escena extra, lo empecé a leer con bastantes reparos pero sinceramente no entiendo las críticas negativas, a mí no me pareció para tanto.

En fin, una escena muy breve pero que a mí me hizo sonreír.

3 Estrellas!

[･ﾟ✧♘Bella♘✧･ﾟ · Rating 1 out of 5]

What. The. Fuck.

[eleanor · Rating 1 out of 5]

1.25 thank god she didn’t include this

[Adar Lola · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't care what anyone says, this was soo funny.



Em and Nick are in the car after their fun day and she wants to sleep with him, loose his virginity to "him" - I literally hate when authors write like that although that's normal but it's just annoying 😑.

so anyways she wants to do it with him in his car in front of her grandma's place and somehow punches his nose with her elbow and he starts bleeding. he was also shocked that she wanted to sleep woth him in his car .

so for me, while everybody disliked it so much, it was hilarious to me !

¿Porque son tan malas con esta escena? No lo entiendo.

Ósea el libro es perfecto sin cosas sexuales lo sé, pero es que esta escena no es para tanto hasta me reí jajaja fue tan accidental.

Fue no se… divertida(? Pero bueno si estaba o no en el libro no hubiera cambiado para mi, supongo que solo no me gusto con que no fue el beso de Nick suficiente perooo lo demás está bien supongo.

[tristyn dawn❤︎]

I only skimmed over it but omg😭
I am so incredibly happy this wasn’t in the book
summary: emelie tries to have sex with nick in his car THATS PARKED IN HER GRANDMOTHERS DRIVEWAY but ends up giving him a bloody nose instead💀

[aks⸆⸉ {hiatus ❤︎} · Rating 2 out of 5]

[Kylin Swearingen · Rating 2 out of 5]
