“I lived in the real world, and the real world was sad. He lived in literature, and literature was beautiful.”

“Leave it to Portland, Oregon, to be simultaneously so delighted and so horrified by such a modest amount of snow.”

Me, a Canadian who lives in, arguably, one of the least snowy parts of Canada: “Hell yeah!”

Look, when I read a romance where one of the characters is honest-to-goodness STALKING the other, I have enough common sense to know that it’s hot in a book but not IRL. However, Logan just said “I’d like nothing more than to be the one privileged enough to clean up her messes.” If that’s what I’m signing up for, I’m down.

Why is a silly Halloween romance novel making me want to cry before the 10% mark?

If someone says the word “beautiful” one more time I’m going to put my own head through a wall

“This man is perfectly kind, caring, and he listens. I just don’t love him, but he’s a kind man.”
100 pages later “oh, yeah, he’s an alcoholic. I didn’t mention him ever drinking or being mean in any previous scenes, but now that I think about it, he was drunk by the end of each of those.”
Fuck off

Well that seems a little fast, but it’s lovely!

Authors, I respect you. But saying “mother freaking crapping crapsicles” is not a cute character quirk, it’s something nobody does

10 pages in and the FMC is already annoying and the MMC is a pushover

I’m having fun with this book, but “My soul’s been whispering it to you…”?! 🤢

Despite my earlier complaints about how this isn’t the best representation of OCD, this is a GREAT representation of how quickly and easily thoughts can spiral

I’m really enjoying this. But I also think the OCD rep (so far) could be harmful for some. It’s not bothering me, but it’s something to take note of

Starting this romance book with a description of a shit is certainly a bold choice. While I respect the audacity, I hope it’s the last one I will encounter throughout any book, ever

I have to admit, I’m not loving this so far

FINALLY a new type of FMC from Jessa Kane thank GOODNESS
