Status Updates From Trick Shot (All These Light...

Putting this aside for now. Nick is not for me.

Love Matt and the band so much! But this is just not enjoyable. Or I am not in the mood for it.

The book is trying so hard to insist Nick is over Connor but he isn’t. And I despise Connor. Petty? Yep. That’s me.

Sigh. The magic 8 ball says…Try again later.

Nick left Matt on Read…for THREE DAYS?? And is planning to end it?

That’s it. F this 💩

This is not the book I was promised it is just infuriating me. Thank you, next!

Now Connor is talking to Nick like he still knows him so well, and knows what’s best for him! Giving him advice on how to be happy! Gee, gosh, he hopes Nick isn’t letting the way Connor treated Nick scare Nick away from the joy Nick deserves!

GTFO.

This is just..WHAT???

“I don’t think I was ready for anything more…Mentally I was still way too in my head…beating myself up for all the shit I put you through…” [But apparently not enough to apologize and let Nick know he was,you know, ALIVE🙄]

Nick waves him off; they’ve hashed that out enough.”

Oh, how nice for Nick. WE still have no goddamn idea what happened, but sure. All good. #sarcasm

Oooh now Connor is telling Nick all about his boyfriend, and Nick is all babe, no big deal I don’t care anymore! We are besties again! 🙄

Maybe they should do each other’s nails.

This is absolute torture. Please can I have Matt back??? I do not want to forgive this absolute f-ing jerk. Don’t care why he disappeared.

This is SO charming. Nick and Connor going to Nick’s place! Nick reminiscing in the elevator about all the times they touched and flirted and hid their love! Now he’s cooking for Connor and Connor grabs one of the drinks in the fridge that were actually there for Matt!

I thought this was a romance but apparently it’s a “make up with the guy who ghosted and ditched you for five years” book. 🤮🙄

“Totally fine. Absolutely no reason for him to be feeling that guilt burn through him like acid, like he’s somehow sneaking behind Matt’s back. They aren’t anything. Him [sic He] and Connor aren’t anything.”

Wow. I really didn’t think I was reading a cheating book but here we are. Emotional cheating.

Checked book copy. Not one mention of Connor. But here we are with “Matt who?” 😡

Nick has…plans? What? Since when? With wh—

Oh no. OH. NO. AYFKM???

Nick. Is ditching Matt. For CONNOR??

Why am I even here? I did not sign up for some pathetic unrequited love triangle BS.

Connor Connor CONNOR. Ugh. And Nick saying the media focus isn't Connor's fault? It is ALL Connor's fault. Who chose to ghost. Who chose to block. Who chose to say nothing EVER for YEARS about why, and leave Nick holding the bag in all ways?! Guess.

Why are we giving this person the time of day again? I have NO IDEA. 😡

No, Connor isn't an MC. He's the ex and one source of tension. 🤮

He cleans Matt up before taking care of himself... The gentlmanly thing. Definitely not the kind of care Nick has ever shown to his bathroom hookups.... But Matt's different. In so many ways.

Um. Tell me you're a jerk to your hookups without telling me you're a jerk to your hookups. 🙄🙄

Now, without sounding like a total slut, Nick's had his dick sucked by a lot of guys in a lot of places—bathrooms and back alleys, dark corners of bars. He's experienced a pretty good range of skill sets.

Um. Hate to tell you but...you failed. 🤷‍♀️ Sorry buddy, I don't make the rules! 😂 (for real no slut shaming, but, starting it that way s like saying "I don't mean to be offensive, but...)

Matt is freakin adorable. Him, and Nick’s cat, Dolly. Adorable!

“…because I ruined his life.”

Ex-fucking-scuse me???? You… WHAT?<\i>

If I do not get some bloody context around why Nick thinks he ruined the life of the boy who ghosted and blocked him, I will scream and possibly break this e-reader. WTF???

I LOVE Marco and Lindsay! THEY make good sense.

Oh FFS. Why are they so foolish? Fuck buddies, Nick? Really?

F off.

OMFG after THAT fabulousness you want to talk to HIM about it? GTFO. 😡😡😡

AMAZING first 😘

Nick if you are not into this guy like a plug in a socket there is no hope for you! 😂🥰❤️

“You’re pathetic” Nick tells himself.

Um. Nick. Inclined to agree. Can we stop the spiraling over Connor the loser who ghosted like he did not give a 💩 and instead focus on the pretty rock star you just met???

THAT is why *I* am here. Not to read about you losing it over the return of someone who clearly does not respect you.

Heh heh Nick simping over meeting Matt is making up for the Connor stuff. 🤭😂❤️❤️

Jesus Christ, why can’t he be normal? He meets hot guys all the time. This one isn’t any different.

Except he is. Ugh.

😂😂😂🥰"

Does Nick tell his former friend/love to F off? Does he do anything to stand up for himself?!

Guess. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

So…help me understand. Connor did not talk to Nick for 5 years. BLOCKED him even. Then he emails out of nowhere adking to talk. They talk (or so Nick says. Do we get any insight as to that convo? No. We do not. Just that it had nothing to di w the romantic reunion of Nick’s long-held fantasy).

Does Nick block Connor? No. In fact, now he is getting texts ftom “Conn.” Right before a game. 😡😡😡

I'm confused. I thought the MCs were Nick and Matt. Why am I hearing about nothing but the return of Connor Connor Connor? Is this a love triangle, and I'm the one who's been tricked?

I guess Nick and Connor were a thing 5 years ago. Nick says Connor was the "love of his life." Then Connor disappeared/ghosted.

What am I rooting for here? Anyway. Keepin' on keepin' on.
