she is on her re read journey and this time im legit detective. I will update this (even thought im pretty sure no one reads these) with my thoughts as I go

y'all are wild for loving this book so much lol the way im cringing so hard at the inner thoughts. I just want a good, well written surprise pregnancy trope is that to much to askkkkkkkk

Im just so sad, this books plot is EVERYTHING that I love and could have been so incredible but literally there the dialogue is pages of being in her head before she even answers a simple question from him, he will say something and there will be three pages of her repeating the same thing until she answers with one sentence. I just couldn't take it anymore and im sad bc I love this author but I cant take it.

"because I thought you might like it"

ahhh fuck its happening. kicked my feet so hard.

Not even a hint of attraction yet. Fuck I love a true long game.

Also this plot is so good it doesn’t even have me begging for the romance yet I’m just sitting on the edge of my seat wanting to know what will happen next.

“Delilah?”
“Mmph”
“I know you were looking through my stuff”
“Do you want me to apologize?”
“No.. did you find anything interesting”
“Just pieces of you”
“Nothing interesting at all then”
“I think you hide all of your best parts in tiny little pouches, Jackson Clarke”

I LOVE THEM 🥹

Am I supposed to know wtf is going on?? Cause j don’t. I truly don’t.

“Don’t” ..”don’t do that”

“Do what?”

“Don’t act like you weren’t enough for me.”

Dare I say I’m loving this book!? I’ve had a string of good then ick books and I’m just really hoping to keep loving this!!

They just held hands for a second time!! I’m living for this subplot romance (wish there was a teensy bit more though)

Her writing is so good until the dialogue between the characters, if it was just a smidge better, less awkward with more depth between them holy shit this series would be a masterpiece. Still loving the plot though.

I'm like really fucking into this.

“I don’t need anything from you other than for you to unlock the door for me, so I can lie with you when the darkness is too heavy to crawl out of. And if you need to fight, you can fight with me. And if you want to make love, make it with me”

Fucking jackkkkkkkkk😭🥹

I’m sad I was excited about this one, the dialogue is a bit cheesy and that takes me right out of the book BUT I bought it so I can’t DNF it. Pray for me.

Sobbing… wtf 😭

“They aren’t going to demand that we kiss right?

“What kind of people would demand we kiss??”

☠️ these two and their banter

Occasionally I say, “fuck the police”, so he feels better

Magnolia 🤣 so underrated.

I’m just really struggling with them both right now and I know Julian is around the corner too and I can’t handle it.

“He laughs and for some reason it sounds like I’m ringing the doorbell of the home I grew up in.”

Fuck I love them.

Ok I forgot how hilarious Magnolia is. She didn’t get enough credit for that.

I’m backkkk. I don’t know if I’m ready. Also, I love BJ don’t come at me. He just needs growth which I think comes in this book please lord let it come 🙏🏻

WAIT WHAT. 🤯

PAIN.FUL god damn. 😭 this book. Juliet. Luke. I’m ready for it to be over.

“I’d still have come for you, no matter where you went.. Even if you’d gone to the underworld”

😭😭😭 Charlie Charlie CHARLIE. we love you.

“Forget about Manhattan. Tell Andrew you’re not interested. Then fucking come back to me”

MY.CHEST. 🥹😭❤️‍🔥

First time I’ve ever read this author. I love her writing. I’m in love with both MCs. Yes they are “step siblings” but not really at all.

The way that Christian gives me whiplash. Broody af one minute okay most minutes then hilarious. For like 5 seconds.

I know we are supposed to be shipping Dais & Christian but whhhhhhy is she making me love Rome too😭

ok but why do i keep getting confused in this book. The texting seems confusing, and is it jumping big time frames? whatever i still love it and Daisy is my girl.

Really wanna give Magnolia the benefit of the doubt with things, but she acts so oblivious to things sometimes, or consciously avoids them - specifically with Christian. This book is alot 😅🫠

This is yearning and heartbreak. Granted they keep doing this to each other unnecessarily BUT im still here for it. I think it will start to get old here soon as we approach halfway but lets see..
