WHAT is going on?? I hope this has a payoff. Lots of stars but I can’t tell what this is even about.

i hope what i’m reading is an ARC and not the final result

already fascinating :D

I am getting sooo into this. at first I felt sluggish, and now, I can’t stop!

SUPER writing, I’m hooked

I am liking this a lot!

Nvm it’s getting cringy…

Already slaps

I need a cleanse

charlie’s spiel was v nice v sweet bot i can’t stand them getting interrupted by a text again this is NOT love island

and nono’s view of her family is wack

Mission: Read a Lighthearted Book

FAILED

DNF The American Roommate Experiment by Elena Armas @ 12% 🥴

if i'd actually paid attention to what the synopsis said, i'd've realized i wouldn't like the book. i like the characters but not the setup - her having kept up w (cyberstalked) his IG for a year before this is TOO much, and the dating simulation is too outlandish n obvious. & no promised slow burn

“Lina me va a cortar las pelotas.”

naurr

these people are aliens like they don’t do normal human interaction

no wonder her name is rosie. she turns pink on every page

”your dad is going to hunt me down for tricking her daughter”

the subtle inclusion of his spanish-speakingness

these people are very polite thats nice

pastries <3

random thought: it seems like an important detail that he flew in from phoenix, not spain (bc why’d the author make it so?). i bet he was there/not updating sm/skipped the wedding bc he was in rehab or whatever trauma he has

aw

Some people had celebrities like Chris Evans or Chris Hemsworth or any of the other Chrises, to inject that shot of serotonin before bed. A little daydreaming and a lot of wishful thinking. And I supposed… I supposed I’d had Lucas Martín.

What in the social media hell is this
I need her to have a personality trait that ISNT this. Like stop constantly bringing this up WE GET ITTT

The truth was that I had kind of stalked Lucas online.

girl, we heard you the first 10 times.

I think (HOPE & PRAY) he also stalked her social medja before this. then at least theres balance. and itll come out right before the love confession mark my words

not the “deep, masculine” chuckle

this protag is so…overreactive? the opposite of the guy, who seems chill

WHO called this author “queen of slow burn” this narrator has been thirsting after/crushing on the male lead since BEFORE this book STARTED. before they met - before he knew she existed 🥴

i dont like how she alr knew abt him from cyberstalking and thirsting over him it’s parasocial n creepy ;-;

i got the Kindle app and i am going to be so annoying with notes now 🤠
