He did not just self-destruct that badly OMG

If I say ACOTAR is not my favorite series, don’t listen to me.

For everyone wanting a book that gives you all the same vibes as The Deal, read this IMMEDIATELY!!!

Not him planning their wedding while they are still just fake dating <3 new favorite micro trope to accompany fake dating!

I don’t understand why so many people hate on this book. It is a quest trope so it is naturally slower, but it is quite enjoyable and interesting.

A camp romance. After working at a camp for a half of a decade, this ought to be good!

I am a little disappointed the male narrator is not doing more than one voice for the different male characters.

This one is going to stick with me for a while: “[O]ur world was too infected with sickness to ever heal. There is no peace…or good against evil; there’s only evil now, and ignorance of it.”

Is this book heavier in the spice than the others?

I love how clear the foreshadowing is. I feel like I am always shocked and miss everything in romantasy, so I love that this one l, I could actually figure a lot of it out!

“Touch my girl, and you’ll never see that hand again.”

The YEARNING! I am absolutely smitten.

“Give me your burden. . . All of it, so that you don’t have to carry it anymore.”

This is definitely intriguing! I really like Savannah as a narrator!

I still have not sobbed. Is booktok going to let me down or should I brace myself tonight???

I did not see that coming. I HATE Nathaniel.

Sooo many mixed feelings. I want to scream at the miscommunication. Hate the MMC. And all at the same time my heart breaks for them both, and I hope they survive this.

I am loving the hatred between these too! I need popcorn reading this one.

So apparently I have a big ick for the word gyrate

“ Somewhere along the way, your wires got crossed. Your brain decided that you’re not worth people’s time and effort, and if you ask for anything, they won’t just say no, but they’ll also leave you. . . That’s not how Love works, Elsie. But don’t worry for now. I’ll show you.”

“What is up with all these people calling me out on my bullshit lately? Am I suddenly giving off main character vibes?”

I LOVE how Ali will randomly break the third wall and make a joke about the book.

HOW did I forget this Grandma?! She is an absolute hoot!

Rereading this for book club because I could not remember this story to save my life, and I have no clue how I forget a story about a adjunct professor having to moonlight as an escort and that very same week running into her latest dates brother at a tenure professor interview.

I don’t think I have ever hated a character as much as I hate her ex-husband. He is such a dirtbag.

“It’s not baggage it’s life.”

Rivals have officially become rivals with benefits!

This is the perfect book for Summer.

I freaking love a door lean .

“No one is going to give you a reward for checking off all the boxes you think you should have checked.”
