“Hey, can I keep your truck for a few days?”
“What the fuck kind of parallel universe have I just walked into?” he says, reeling. “Isn’t she a psychopath?”
“No,” I say. “She’s an assassin. Big difference.”
“Minor difference,” says Winston.
Adam blanches, “Oh my God… It’s happening again. I can’t believe I have to live through this again—”

IM CRYINNGGGG not adam getting flashbacks to the warner days LMAOAOAOAO

"We're all a bunch of traumatized weirdos with murderous daddy issues. Kenji exempted, of course."
"Weirdos?" Warner echoes, insulted.
"Daddy issues?" Nazeera pulls a face.
"Thank you," Kenji says, pointing at me. "My parents were awesome, unlike the rest of you losers."
Julliette's eyes widen. "Kenji."

BAHHAHA the banter is the ONLY thing carrying this series im sorry

“She was pissed, as she had every right to be, but I’d find her, explain, and everything would go back to normal”

This my friends is the sound of a delusional man who forgot his wife’s 10 year anniversary of marriage, in short, a man who needs to go fuck himself and deserves no second chance

HE FORGETS THEIR TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY??? I’m sorry idgaf if this man becomes the best husband in the whole world by the end of the book I’m hating him until the very last page😶‍🌫️ I sense a one star guys

"They twine around my swirling fingers and when I pull them towards me, these words, about to be forgotten in the muddy waters, speak to me from my hand as they die 'Words dwell in man, closer to him than god. We shall wait for the day we are called once more to those lips"

this has to be the most devastatingly beautiful manga I've ever read. This is what I mean when I say I love reading.

"because things will finally go my way"

yeah i'm ready for the most traumatizing ending that'll leave me depressed for weeks

“ I opened my smitten mouth to say “How can I help you?” without
drooling when he said in a midnight-rich voice, “Hello, Abi with an i.”

The way this sentence was worded hurts my reader heart

"There were a lot of attractive men out there, but this man had to be The
One they were inspired by.
He was tall—like six and a half feet of tall—but no one would call him
lanky."

IM CRYING why does this sound like that one time I tried writing a horror romance in 3rd grade

“Hence my second go-round of college.
Hence my need for this job and my three-times-a-week overnight job.
Hence my propensity for thinking stupid words like hence.”

If this is the “comedy” part of Lynn painter rom coms, I’m not laughing nor even smiling

I’m damn tired of Lynn painter assuming that all guys say the word “fuck” every five seconds AND I can smell the fake dating trope even though I’m like two pages in

60 chapters in and he finally smiled at him🥹🥹🥹🥹 this is what u call slow burn enemies to lovers

*sees cirrus blackmail Skyler*

oh he’s a toxic mf

*sees cirrus shirtless*

oh he’s a sexy toxic mf

I can ALWAYS trust yaoi to deliver me enemies to lovers where they’re ACTUALLY enemies

hot take: when you support the book of a problematic author, you're supporting the author too.

“she was a character in a story- she knew it and hated it”

Gotta love it when the main character breaks the fourth wall😭😭 love how she’s aware

“I’m afraid we’re cooked, my dear.”

Never in my reading career did I ever expect gen-z slang in books 😭✌️

i hate when people say a book or literally anything is like Twilight just because it has vampires... like um Twilight wasn't the first ever vampire thing ever invented and not every vampire book is like Twilight??

me staring at somebody's Goodreads profile who has fancy fonts, emojis, emoticons, and different languages in their user (there's so much its glitching my whole Goodreads)

when ur 6 chapters in the book and already want to cry bcs of how sad it is but ur in the middle of class (suppose to be writing an essay) so u cant cry but u really want to

only me? okay

“Kiss me, kiss me until I forget everything”

eh close enough, welcome back Cardan greenbriar

Jokes aside, FUCHAI IS CARDAN GREENBRIAR IN A ANOTHER LIFE IM CONVINCED. A young king who never wanted to be king but was forced to? A king who fell in love with his enemy (the fmc)? CARDANNNNN

Is it messed up that I’m way more in love with the villainous king that fmc hates with all her heart bcs he ruined her life than the man the fmc is actually in love with and doesn’t treat her like trash 🧍

not them doing the boomboyah in the back seat of the car- that chauffeur needs a raise with the shit he probably goes through daily #justiceforThomas

when u need to lock in for exams but goodreads is suddenly looking a bit too... eye catching

guys goodreads added a dnf shelf, a private note area for when you write reviews and a "I own this book" option?? we're making progress.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ “I thought that she wouldn’t notice the rain today, but she didn’t come”

stop don’t tell me he waits for her in the rain?? my heart😭

why is the glossary longer than my life span

As he glowers, she snaps a photograph.
It looks like a mugshot.
Oh, well. It’s the best she’ll get.
“Caption . . . ‘Dinner with my darling pookie.’ ”

this is so unserious

“But I told you before, I am no damned sidekick.”
“What—”
“I’m clearly the main love interest.”
I tangled her hair in my fist and hauled her up against me, sealing her
mouth with mine.

I love how he’s aware that he’s the main love interest of the book I can’t😭
