I have enjoyed this so much that I’ve been reluctant to finish it

I’d also feel confused about how someone felt about me if they were that affectionate

Updating because I forgot a bookmark lol

I feel a little Embarrassed that through these books I learned that the proxy wars in the Middle East have *at least* been going on since the 19th century (these books are not about this almost at all)

I am so excited to be done with the book club book finally so I can read more of this series!!

The switch up is crazy

So redemptive for the contemporary romance genre for me so far

Literally everyone in this story needs therapy

Are the characters realistic or just depressing??

“I want to apologize for earlier and I want to never talk about it again.” Relatable

For some reason the beach scene with the milkshake is very important to me. I cannot elaborate.

Dr. L 🤢 low key

“What happened to you, Elsie?” Screaming

Light spoiler: her roommate has a pet hedgehog I think??

Help what do you mean she’s a theoretical physicist/escort????

“The problem is that other women were not you.”

It’s (very loosely) giving pride and prejudice when he declares his love in the rain the first time

This book is so much sillier than I anticipated

I feel like I could like this a lot but I’ve been reading chapter 1 for a week now 🙃

Book club book so I might still finish it but she might be too pregnant for me?? Cara Bastone really is doing a fantastic job at writing a pregnant person, but just like maybe too good of a job?

Eating this up - I love that he’s supporting her in her ghost communication journey even though he doesn’t get it totally bc that’s life. *maybe* I’ll make it past 50% and actually finish this one.

Also audio book is duet-style, need I say more??? So I’ve been listening when I drive places too which has helped.

Maybe the only thing that can save me from this reading slump is a western romance where he is an upholsterer (???) (I’m sorry, insanely niche job for 2026) and she is a failing photographer who just moved home to try to find herself. Oh and also she can see ghosts and they’re roommates. Maybe that’s exactly what I need rn

I’m enjoying reading and listening to this but I also feel like my body is one chapter away from fight or flight

He’s the general manager at the chilis on 3rd Ave and her mom thinks he’s out of her league???

Everyone in this story is like do NOT be mean to me or I’ll become deathly ill and die - and then they literally die.

Wild third act breakup

“…there he continues praying like a Methodist” lol

Heathcliff ☹️😒🧌🤢
