“I still don't know what I want to do, or what I can do. What I do know is that there's no need to panic, or do more than I can cope with right now. For the time being, I plan to simply get my life in order and learn some new skills, choosing from what's available.”
I think this quote found me at the right time

“By this stage, all the steps that I couldn't be bothered with in the beginning—sifting the flour and separating the eggs to make meringue with the egg whites and sugar—didn't seem like such a hassle anymore.”

omfg LINA JUST GET IN HIS DAMN FUCKING CARRRRRR. shes literally soaked from head to toe in this massive rainstorm and a guy SHE KNOWS is offering her a ride and shes still stubborn JUST FOR THE SAKE OF HAVING A "STUBBORN" PERSONALITY. its so infuriating like he obviously has helped you before UGH.

one MAJOR pet peeve i have about dialogue in books is when they write "He is happy" instead of "he's happy" like i dont understand why they cant write the contraction cuz it sounds like a more realistic dialogue and thats how people talk irl. it just sounds robotic and makes this annoying book more annoying

omg this entire phone call is pissing me off why is she just saying nothing while her mom is asking a question JUST FUCKING ANSWER!! WHY IS IT SO HARD TO SAY "no that isnt aaron" UGHHHHH sitting there staring at this mf while ur mumbling and stammering on the phone like an IDIOT

OMFG CATALINA JUST ACCEPT HIS FUCKING HELP ITS BEEN 10 PAGES OF YOU SAYING "get out" I dont need your help" "theres no we" SOUNDING LIKE A DAMN BROKEN RECORD!!! i hate the damn "too stubborn to accept help cuz we definitely have a very good reason to be sworn enemies" EYEROLL.

omg the sole purpose of adding gerald just so hes a stereotypical man who thinks women should take care of womanly things is so tired and annoying like hes obviously being played up by the author just so ml can come in and save her
