How did people complain that this book wasn’t funny bffr lmao

Yeah this is over-hated af. Nic and Lo are so hot do not lie to meeeee. 🥵🥵

I’m still Team Lights Out and I don’t know if reading this during baseball season when he goes by Junior was a good idea (although Caminero is my fav player, idk if that’s beneficial here lol), but this is likely 4 stars at min unless I get pissed off in the back half.

My expectations were kinda on the ground since everyone said this pales compared to Lights Out, and honestly I think y’all are haters bc why am I eating this up?? Maybe it’s because he’s Teddy Hamilton, but I’m still laughing and having a great time during this idk??

Not the fucking jaw drop this late in the book omggggg I would never forgive them idc

This is so funny I’m so hype for this show hahaha

Torn because I feel like I probably would prefer to eyeball read this and not rely on the audiobook, so I’m debating switching to kindle only, but I also read a lot of this today and my audiobook gets returned on Sunday so idk stay tuned??

I’m so here for the mystery element fr, but my favorite running joke in this is when Owen says some Gen Z slang (he’s 8 so I’m giving him a pass) and the adults ask each other what it means because that’s me I am the adults in this book lolllll.

Started this at a spring training game today and fuck I missed this series and I’m already flailing over these two and my favorite brothers and their girls and baby Max UGH 🧡⚾️💜

The use of the word “detonation” in the bedroom will actually never cease to make me laugh oops lmao.

Y’all be happy I am loving the full cast audio and the banter between Frankie and Maverick (loving him sm) because the way I rolled my eyes so hard at the “would you love me if I was a worm?” moment. No I don’t care if he was under the influence - I was still mad.

Getting in mindset of where I will in less than three days~ 💙🛳️🏝️💙 (the cruise part obvi, not the 💀🔪 part lol)

Not us doing a second reread of my favorite romance novel of 2025 (my third time reading this within 365 days oops) to get ready for book 2 at the end of the month 💖🎧📻💖

I don’t want to DNF this early into the book, but I genuinely haven’t read any of it since the Superbowl, I literally only open the book to keep up my kindle and fable streaks, and I’m just not interested in where the plot is going rn. Maybe soft DNF idk someone convince me to keep going

Appropriately themed brain off material while some sporting event is happening between Green Day and Bad Bunny because I genuinely do not understand football at all oops

Finishing this tomorrow, but there are at least three to four characters at minimum that I would like to see in jail by the end of this book.

Learning today this is not a “read in public” kind of book because why am I actually crying in the store right now omg??

Trying to finish this within the next two days while it’s still cold out. The full on crash out I will have if Kira ends up flopping, I stfg. There are honestly too many characters (coming from someone really good with names), but she sticks out the most to me like Fredrik do not fucking ruin her for me.

Real life slump got me bad. 😭😭 I’m so fascinated by this plot, hopefully will finish tomorrow, but I’m still angry that one of the characters dead ass said “it’s fire” about this girl’s podcast.

This man is a loser ffr Ilsa get rid of him and go get your gold.

When the MMC says “fuck it” right before the kiss: 😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍

When the FMC says “fuck it” right before the kiss: 🤯😱😍🥰😍🥰😍

I’m reading this in honor of my friend (he’s alive, it was recently his birthday and I just joke about how his ex girlfriends are so close lol), and I feel like he’d appreciate the cringe to an extent? So I haven’t DNF’d yet because he wouldn’t want me to, but idk we’ll see how we go when we get to the halfway mark lol 😬

Restarted on Christmas. I promise I’m so interested in this plot - I just have zero energy to sit down and open my kindle because I want to immersive read this and not just listen to it while I do busy work RIP. 😭😭 it will get finished in January, I promise!!

Probably going to be my first finished book of the new year. Flying through it and they have their moments where I’m rooting for them. Also Alexandria Bellefleur is so good at smut damn.

I’m a little unsure if I’m rooting for them, but I think I wanna read the other two in the trilogy and I don’t have a large window to read this so hopefully we can bang this out in the next two days. I’m with Darcy on all the astrology talk though tbh

Updating my 2025 ratings and reviews so apologies in advanced for the influx of updates!! ❤️

“Do you not know what they’ve done with a candy cane?”
“No,” I say on a laugh. “What did they do?”
He leans in close to my ear and whispers, “Sexual things.”
“Oof.” I clench my legs together. “Wouldn’t that burn?”

LITERALLY ME. I love Storee and Cole but I get a UTI every time I think of the candy cane scene oof. Also she hates chocolate oranges too she’s like me fr??

Finishing Finlay book 5 today so I can work through this again because having two comedic audiobooks at once is a little hard to juggle. But also why do the steamy scenes always start when I’m walking into my break room to clock in for work I stg lollll

The podcasters are literally the Guys in White from Danny Phantom. Irrelevant and yet always popping up now like bruh get rid of themmmmm. My new least favs of the series.

Respectfully, why can’t actual romance novels deliver childhood friends to lovers better than this comedic mystery series has?? I’m literally crying I love them sfm 🥹🥹

Not me loving Storee and Cole so much more than Max and Betty yet I’m still not interested in reading book 1 oops. 💀 Max is kinda getting better, but I feel like I’d still hate him if he wasn’t voiced by Teddy Hamilton idk. The banter between Max and the narrator is A+ though.
