Reading is crazy because I just went from a Kennedy Ryan book to a book with a fake dating trope where the FMCs biggest personal problem is that she didn’t get into Brown but her whole family did.

Wait. Am I supposed to dislike both MCs?

Reading Jared feels like reading a Caleb prequel. His obsession, unwillingness to take no for an answer, possessiveness, and lack of morals is scary.

Whoa. This is way darker than I expected.

I’ve realized it’s taking me awhile to get through this one because the MCs are completely obsessed with each other. Wanting a fake date because you think people are getting to be gossiping about YOU at someone else’s wedding. Getting upset with a bride announcing her pregnancy at HER wedding because you think the timing revolves around your fake boyfriend. Ugh.

Geneva, wtf is happening?!?

Geneva, I will DNF this book if you kill this man. I cannot.

Did not see any of this coming. The FBI?!

They definitely should have been enemies for life or at least until they had a very long conversation about their pasts, but instead they were enemies for less than a quarter of the book before they started wanting each other. Sigh.

Uh oh. We’re not going to call him Tarantula the whole time are we?

I’m admittedly confused AF about this world. When, where, why are we?

I’m not having fun. I think this book needs more female characters.

The female narrator reads the FMC as if she’s surprised or overwhelmed by everything. Probably need to immersive read or fully switch.

“For every child that learns fear before they learn wonder.”

Omg. My heart just stopped. Dang, Deidra.

I’ve loved the build up and now I’m preparing myself for the downfall. Seems I only like the lead up to the love and I struggle with the rest. Ugh.

These public displays…

Omg what is happening

Chapter 19. Wow.

I’m getting these characters all sorts of confused.

I deserve this trauma. I keep going into books blind. I deserve this trauma.
