Exactly the book I needed 😌

Linus standing up for himself and the clapbacks to the higher-ups and everyone that had been stepping all over him (especially Ms. Klapper, the old lady next door) WAS SOOO SATISFYING TO READDD

Also, HE'S GOING BAAACCKK TO HIS FAMILY😭❤️

The young man was—probably—Xiaoyu.

WHY AM I SHAKING IN MA BOOTS!?😭

Who knew what Wang-gonggong, experienced and knowledgeable in
all his worldly wisdom, was thinking about when he came upon this scene.
He was so aghast, his voice even changed. “Your Highness, you can’t! The
fish is too small! It won’t be able to take it!”

NOo- GOODBYE!💀

“It established a pattern, that’s all,” he said bitterly. “I work hard and no
one notices, and then eventually it gets smashed on the floor anyway.”
“Will you come here a moment, dear?” She slid off the wall and extended
her arms to him. “Come on,” she said when he hesitated. “One hug won’t
kill you.”

THIS was supposed to be a COZY book, why was I shedding tears?😭

“The blood you spill is the blood of kings,” seethed Dunyasha. “You
are not fit for such a gift.”

And Inej's reply to this being...

Inej raised a brow and slowly wiped the blood of kings on her
trousers.

Was so badass and attractive LIKE 🤭

“What?” Jesper asked. “Do the Shu not kiss before noon?”
“I wouldn’t know,” Kuwei said sourly.
Not Kuwei.
“Oh, Saints,” Jesper groaned. That wasn’t Kuwei in the doorway. It
was Wylan Van Eck, budding demolitions expert and wayward rich kid.
And that meant he’d just kissed …

NO- GURL BYE- 😭

Kaz stood there, staring at the place she’d been only seconds before. She’d tricked him. The decent, honest, pious Wraith had outsmarted him. He turned to look back at the long expanse of roof he was going to have to traverse to get back to the boat.
“Curse you and all your Saints,” he said to no one at all, then realized
he was smiling.

I'm- ...I- 🫠

“You know I can do it, Kaz, and you know I’m not going to refuse. So
why ask?”
Because I’ve been looking for an excuse to talk to you for two days.

KAZ OMGGG😭

OK, I'm obsessed already 👀❤️✨

And then someone slides in beside me.
“Can I sit here?” he asks, and my eyes snap open.
It’s Cute Bram Greenfeld, of the soft eyes and soccer calves.

I cannot believe the scream I just let out💀

I did not expect to like the book THIS much😭❤️

He had originally wanted to be stiff-faced for longer, but he
ended up being the first to stop restraining his smile, and he poked the small expanse of the other’s exposed chest. “Scoundrel.”
“A good man goes without a wife. A scoundrel seizes a flowering branch,”
Yan Xiaohan replied, self-confident.
The ‘flowering branch’ nearly shook himself into becoming a dog-beating
stick.
LAST LINE! I LOVE THIS 😭❤️

I was already losing my mind over that one goose alongside YZH, NOW UR TELLING ME THIS MAN ACTUALLY SENT MORE!?!?
The standards are skyrocketing atp🫠😭❤️

Fu Shen sighed. “When I’m useful, it’s ‘the benevolence and righteousness of a master’. When I’m not useful, it’s ‘the benevolence of a woman’. My benevolence and compassion isn’t for your flapping lips to decide.”

I fear he ate that 🤭

“What about you, then? You planning to take off to Heavens right now?” Fu Shen asked, not very happily.

Yan Xiaohan turned his face to look at him, gaze calm and tender with a
small smile. “The time of bliss in all this humble one’s lifetime is still the
moment the Marquis and I loved on each other.”

“…You still don’t have a speck of propriety! Get lost!”

👀🤭

It took me literally half the book to realize we're talking about Andy, as in Andy and Nick from the previous book😭

“You come across as down-to-earth, charmingly self-deprecating, and—”
He very nearly says sweet and saves himself at the last moment, but not,
unfortunately, before he recognizes that word as accurate.

If Eddie, for
whatever reason, wants to have a milkshake, then Mark will buy him a
damn milkshake.

We've lost him... He's falling🥹🫠

“Next time I’ll be sure to take
you someplace dark,” Mark sniffs, apparently more irritated by the fans
than Eddie is. “And you can sit with your back to the room.”
Something pleased and warm flares up inside Eddie at the I’ll take you
and the someplace dark and even the next time.

oh👀😏

“What can I get for you?” he asks, looking down at the register.
“I want an iced coffee,” Elliot says, “Extra cream, no sugar. What do
you want, babe?”
“Vanilla latte, light ice, almond milk?” Chris asks before I can answer.
“Yeah,” I agree, catching the side-eye Elliot throws my way. “Jackie
wants the same thing. Make hers decaf.”

Oop- 👀

Icarus swept the pictures into a neat stack. He gently removed the glass
from Angus’s hand and rinsed it out in the sink.
Then, he went to Angus’s cot, pulled his blanket from it, and draped it
across his father’s shoulders.

It's the tiny details!!!
Everything hurts😭

Luca covered his eyes and took a deep breath.
“Why isn’t anything involving you easy,” he whispered. “I feel like I’m
an NPC meeting the main character at the very end of a game. I feel like
we’ve had fifteen minutes together and you’re about to die in an explosion.”

He's not wrong 😭😂

They had talked, too, for hours, about being unwanted by one’s
father, and the absence of mothers, and families in which one didn’t seem to belong. Luke had cried; so had Gareth, once or twice. He wasn’t sure if
he’d got things right—he hadn’t talked to a thirteen-year-old boy since he’d
been one—but Catherine seemed to approve.

I'm- 🫠

“Well, it can’t be. Nobody is called Goldilocks.” Gareth felt rather light
headed. “At least not normally, but your family never ceases to surprise me.
What is your name?”
“Luke.” The word was a whisper.

And what if I cried 😭

The man in the Three Ducks. Kent. He’d said, You look like a sighted
hare. Gareth remembered his own wide-eyed alarm and understood now
exactly what that had meant. He laughed aloud and sent the hare bolting for
cover in a flash of long legs.

🤭

I could have told him. I could have told him and not ruined everything.

YES!?

“It’s in Rufus’s rooms. He hung it there because he saw I liked it.” Luke
dwelled on that little piece of generosity rather too often for his own good,
but it was so very Rufus and he couldn’t help boasting of it, if only to
Gareth. “Of course those are his private rooms, but we spend a certain
amount of—what?”i>

He's simping and forgets the fact that he's exposing himself😭😂
