823 pages.

i’m determined to finish it today

i have never gotten worse second hand embarrassment than when his mum started talking to him about safe s3x for five pages straight PLEASE STOP TELLING ME ALL THE DETAILS

getting closer to the end, slowly but surely (i’m not going into september still reading this book i have to finish it before the end of the month)

FINALLY AT PAGE 400. wait how’s it been already 400 pages tho it feels like 200 idk

alright so the words “i’m not like other girls” actually came out her mouth and he called her “my dinner” this is not appropriate behaviour

it’s so sad she has to live with that kind of dad (and that some people actually have to) but i absolutely love joey for helping her and just being joey

stop talking about your “parts” please and thank you, johnny

why’d he bring up his dick at least 20 separate times in one chapter (and why is she how old eeva would be in a years time)

does chloe walsh know that a quid and a tenner are both pounds and not euros becuase it’s really throwing me off

lwk lemma lock in and binge this

she just said “i’m not like other girls” in 20 different ways and all in the span of 5 pages

“she retired last year” literal chills. also why am i flying thru this book (at least for me this is fast becuase in total i’ve been reading this book for probably an hour and a half and im already almost done)

“it was as if the moon followed him everywhere he went simply because he was more beautiful than the sun”

why is this so physical, i’m so uncomfortable rn

“you’re a guy with a penis” … u thought we established that by calling him a guy 😔 (i’m probably not convincing you to read this based off of these out of pocket quotes but it’s SO GOOD

“the best way to get over someone… is to get under someone else” ………. well said rimi

my copy of this is floppy, glossy, has shiny hearts, 322 pages, AND it was on sale. and also it’s her getting revenge on him by dating him?? sign me up.

miscommunication trop at its finest except it’s between the two friends, not the lovers bcs they’re both breaking girl code behind each others backs. just communicate people. it’s not that deep.

(i hate miscommunication trope but for some reason im loving this book)

“I navigated across Spotify, scrolled for a bit, and soon a Taylor Swift song thumped over the speakers. Reputation’s ‘Dancing with
Our Hands Tied’.
Taylor’s Version, my thirteen-year-old sister Margot would’ve corrected me. It’ s ‘Dancing with Our Hands Tied (Taylor’ s Version).”

i am LOVING the references in this book because she’ll slip in names of characters from books/movies/tv shows or it’ll be a song/album title or even a historical/present day figure and i love that i actually understand them and it makes the characters feel real because she’s using real day references. and she’s notorious for slipping in taylor swift song titles and i think we found the first one
