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..

They are toxic but this is exactly what I’m talking about 👏🏼❤️‍🔥

dnf'd

idk. Why does this book feel like there is nothing built between Scarlet and Lukas except what they both like to do in the bedroom, also this all feels very centered around Pen who i feel like we know more than the FMC?? not sure i can keep going. Just not pulled in..

Either people rave or they hate it.. lets dive in.. 🫣😏

I fear I’m obsessed with Miles & Daphne. I can’t put this book down.

The writing is top tier. My first Emily Henry, and i feel like the bones are HERE all the tropes i love. But i think this issue is me, im not obsessively loving it. I've been in a reading slump and i fear its effecting this. BUT still really liking it.
