i’m not like the other girls. i love pride and prejudice while also enjoying this novella. 🙂‍↔️

ugh i’m not sure this is interesting enough to justify the meandering pacing… i’ve listened to nearly four hours and barely anything has happened.

not my favorite writer but i needed a palette cleanser and seeing that my life is a RTO nightmare i’ll take whatever i can get.

basically sold on the notion that instead of becoming a bitter incel after a string of rotten luck dating women, he found himself a big, strong man to spoil him instead. the best outcome, really.

this is somehow no longer doing it for me. not even teddy can salvage this. i’m too distracted by the lame writing and the even lame characters. some of the smut sparks, though. disappointing that my tolerance for subpar writing is waning.

the most objectionable thing about this book is the fact that merrick hates ceviche. then again, maybe peruvian ceviche is ass. i will need to confirm.

this book is both worse and better than i remember

I’m going to be haunted by this book. I can tell.

given how much i loved what cyril did For Love in amberlough and it was pretty reprehensible, i probably won’t be clutching at pearls too much over the purported moral grayness of these characters. some people really do the fucking most when it comes to their so-called moral boundaries with regards to fictional characters.

i am. not. okay.

Also childishly thoughtful. Oh Grace.

I remember disliking Grace so much for being a pedantic, unimaginative, petty little NLOG and the sentiment remains, but I like her place in the story a lot more. I think I’m ready to finally read Pepperharrow.

holy fucking shit, alan.

dnf’d at 35%

might pick up another time. just not in the right headspace for a romance that requires navigating the naïveté of the absurdly privileged.

ummm. the smut in this is kind of hot.

another RNG pick, lol.

i read the baseball book first but i’m sure it’s fine. also listening to this in audiobook format and i have to say that i like Joel Leslie better when he’s not doing an accent. although there’s a good chance there will a poc character in here, so i just have to endure the 90s comedian-style racist impressions when they happen.
