Mad at myself for continually getting back into this listen right before it’s due and having to go back on the waitlist again🙃

“You won’t lose me. As long as you want me, I’m here.”

I’m gonna jump

THEN THE INVENTED LINE…OUGHHHH

“I've never really felt alone since I met you. I don't think I'll ever feel truly alone in this world again as long as you're in it” and “I don't think I knew I was lonely until I met you” being delivered within one chapter was designed by Emily Henry to inflict the most psychological damage possible to me specifically

It’s been hard to put this down despite how stomach turning it is

I’m usually the world’s biggest hater of possessive “they’re mine” type mmcs but this is different bc it’s actually built on a healthy foundation of mutual trust and ACTIVE WILLING CONSENT from the other party!! Instead of toxic macho self absorbed posturing bs.

Unabashed mutual obsession >>>

The fact that some people dislike Poppy is frankly baffling to me

Pleasantly surprised by how much more I’m enjoying this compared to the first one, and cautiously optimistic that this’ll continue

Kind of find it hard to believe that in a world with magic like this they don’t have a way to spell NDAs to ensure they’re upheld

I mean, we saw him do the same thing to you last book so like…it rlly wasn’t that uneven

I should be locking in on finishing tlg instead but ik the second I pick that back up I won’t be able to stop until I’ve finished it

If I had a nickel for every romance book I’ve read this month where a mmc smelled like apples, I’d have two nickels- which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

I hate to say it but if you hadn’t been jerking her along for so long this would’ve been easier to get through

So frustrating that the fmc has sooo many actual reasons to be mad at the mmc and yet she’s mad at him for smth that obviously didn’t and wouldn’t happen.

“What I’m doing wrong is trying to find a meaningful connection on a dating app” preach

STOP I FORGOT ABT THIS🥺🥹😭

And we’re supposed to find this charming? I don’t think so!

“I can’t tell you anything bc reasons but just promise me we can be together (wink wink) this summer I swear I won’t let you down (even though I already technically have in that arena and every other)” and we’re supposed to be eating this up like she is? Absolutely not❤️

This shouldn’t be a dual POV for the simple fact that nothing in this man’s narration reveals any real justification for the awful hot and cold way he’s treating the protagonist, and yet the readers as well as the fmc are supposed to be won over by this pathetic horndog display?

The amount of emotional whiplash happening is pushing beyond the limits of my disbelief

Are you stupid?

Almost halfway through and this is the first time we’re seeing the people who were the catalyst for their returns btw

This is so cringey in a posturing try hard way

He ate that one thing

So melodramatic omg

0 to 100 real quick geez

The dissonance of these two sentences existing on the same page is spinning my head around

MY SHAYLAA

God some people are so weird about other people being sober it pisses me off
