One last time… 😫😭 that’s a terrible ending
lol not really, but still rude.
… I wonder if her mom was raped… I hope not, but that would explain the disgust in her mom’s gaze, the dad being a terrible guy (hence the blackmail), and why her adoptive dad and Nick’s dad was worried about her finding out the truth

First mistake… she literally said earlier in the book that she doesn’t bite her nails but instead messes with her split ends, and yet now she’s biting her nail.
Also, I love how he knows it’s just going to be the two of them and is “supposedly” trying to not do anything, but he brings them alcohol…. Sounds like you subconsciously are trying to make things happen… 😂

Oh and EM 😭😭😭 you RUINED it 😭
He was in fact not about to say that the kiss was a mistake… and so in trying to save your pride, you ruined it all on your own AND broke his heart at the same time.. 🥺🥺💔
I don’t imagine he’s gonna break the rules and kiss you again anytime soon NOW 😭

Now I understand the foreshadowing that her finding out about her birth parents is going to change things… her dad cheated with his assistant. 🫣😬 sad.
And that makes sense why he was fired… that’s definitely a no no.

Wait… is Em’s biological dad her adoptive dad? Which would mean that he cheated on her adoptive mom..
Is that why he fired him? Cause he found out? And if so, I respect holding your friends to a moral ground, but why was he SO upset that he would fire him? I know the mom can’t be his wife cause then Em and Nick couldn’t get together lol

Oh my god 🥲😭 I never thought of Nick as someone who used to be weak and got beat up 😭😭 now I really love Em’s brother… especially after the “I think I’m gay” followed by the “I REALLY like girls” leading to them being BEST FRIENDS 🥹🩷
So is the brother gay?! Cause that’d be adorable

I love the contrast between the families… especially the moms. Neither is a bad mom… but while Nick’s is cold, distant, even from him, and always put-together, Em’s mom is warm, caring, and doesn’t care if her daughter gets flour on her favorite dress.
It’s no wonder he wants to be apart of their family, and is so scared of ruining his friendship with Em’s brother.

Very cute, fluffy romance so far. ❤️
I love a good brother’s best friend romance and I love when the author writes the characters personalities really differently. Em sounds very sweet and innocent, but I love how Nick is your typical dirty, vulgar teenage boy.. only can tell a little bit that he was wrote by a girl lol.
