i had no idea a romance book could ever affect me this bad but here we are how does one move on from this 😭😭😭

“Give in gracefully, darling. This dance is over. The next one is ours.”

mama y papa i can’t take this anymore

“And, dammit, you weren’t really in love with him—look how quickly you fell into Matt’s arms when he came back.” Her defiant façade crumbled. “Oh, please, don’t hate me for this. Please don’t. Meredith.” THIS FUCKING SKANK

my eyes are twitching whenever lisa compliments matt or whatsoever knowing damn well she was gunning for parker the entire time him and meredith were engaged. she STINKS

“To you, my mercenary wife—may you long regret the day you turned your back on me.”

crazy how lana del rey wrote without you after reading paradise

“His wife, Matt decided with mounting pride, didn’t run away from things that would make most people take to their heels. But tonight she had run from him.”


buzz so strong i’m practically convulsing

“He—he came back to see me?” Something strange and sweet burst into bloom in her heart, and just as abruptly, it died.”

oh here we go my favorite part of the entire book 😋

i’m so insufferable i swear to god because why am i here again 😭 full on mattmeredith relapse

Every character has a FIRST and LAST name. Why?? The security manager at the department store. The bad guy’s secretary. ALL the board members. I’m dying. 😭

Duuuude this book is OLD. Real early ‘90’s stuff. I can appreciate how foreign it reads, though.
