if i don’t commit to reading a good amount of this tonight while i have a few cocktails in me, i’m never finishing this series. prayers up 💀

i’ll review book 1 tomorrow or sum’ because i need to sleep on the rating 😅 but i’m too nosy to not crack book 2 open and see how this tomfoolery continues 👀

danni is so cringy, i can’t stop laughing at this heaux omg 😂😂

time for something toxic 😇

if this ever gets adapted into a movie, i need carley’s people to get david corenswet on the phone IMMEDIATELY

if this makes me feel like one golden summer did, i will be very happy 💜 carley, go on and serve girl! i want this to be a hit

what the HELL is going on?????? 😭😭😭

the comment restriction on here drives me CRAZY 😭 sorry for spamming old reviews — i’m trying to catch up on the comments but can only do it in increments, y’all know 😭

facetime desk scene still making me lightheaded like i haven’t read this a million times…LAWWWWD 🚬🚬🚬

THE HOSING OFF AFTER GOING MUDDING TENSION…ladies and gentleman, the origin point of my psychosis

when a fellow pike heaux asks you to join her in a buddy re-read, you can only answer the call. YOUSSRA, i can’t believe you have me on round 5 to read this with you 🤭

i apologize for being insufferable about this book. please forgive me 🙏🏾

buddy reading with my gorgeous girl minne 🧡 this series has underwhelmed me with 3 star peaks EXCEPT envy which was the best 😛 let’s see if this is a fun time 🤞🏾

idk about all this 😭 but i’m morbidly curious enough to continue after the 50 pages i read between 1am and passing out. seems like it’s gonna be hella messy…

omg he came over with snacks to help her take her braids out — they and their banter are so cute, i can’t 😭

time for my periodic cutesy YA romance 🩷

been craving a dark romance, and the tropes on this look so sexy. not to mention 3 of my fave florence + the machine songs on the playlist AND trisha’s known brand of brainy ass writing??? gimme gimme. need this to hit 😩

youssra promised healing for me in this one, we’ll see 🔪 i’m scared 🫣

her “i’m scared that i’m so busy being scared that i’ll never be anything at all” to his “i just want to leave a part of me behind that means something”

these two are so human to me 🥺🤧

youssra got me in my sad girl era 🤧

*eye twitching* build up of the couple the length of a thumbtack

will i finish it will i finish it…

who’s chopping the onions??? why can’t i see 😭 “is this my fucking life, [redacted]? is a [redacted last name] man destined to swoop in and take everything that’s precious to me?” 😭😭😭

“in short, easton crowne is the biggest threat to my well-being ever created.”
AM I HER OR IS SHE MEEEEEEEE???? wheeeeeew this man is always gonna be unmatched 😩😩😩

i know i gotta chip away at my tbr but i’m re-reading. i desperately need to FEEL something. joining lola on her 1st read so that we can cry and scream and throw up together, because…girlhood

don’t be too alarmed that this is my FOURTH read of this 🙂‍↔️ blame this on Minne’s recent review coz now i gotta experience this again. and i will admit in the harsh light of day i was the one who recommended it to her since it didn’t flop 😌

i’ve heard this series improves over time, so we gon’ thug this one out just to get to the third book. and hey! maybe it’ll pleasantly surprise me 🤞🏾 expectations be in the ground though

back on my bullshit and already questioning my life decisions but mama ain’t raise no quitter, so i’m committing 🤣🤣
