Rina to the rescue!!

This audiobook is 25 hours long (this novella and Pucking Around together) and I really hope the male narrator stops chuckling EVERY FEW SECONDS because it is unnecessary and very cringe.

I hate the character of Dov so much. SO MUCH. Also I finally found something I lose more than pregnancy trope .... miscommunication trope.

Um Teddy Hamilton narrates this. I am already sold.

Willa hip- checking that rude kid into the pool is one of my favourite scenes I've read in 2025.

Jeeeeeeeez Ali Hazelwood. This has to be what needing a cigarette feels like. I wouldn't know, but I need SOMETHING after reading Chapter 17 🥵

Is it hilarious to anyone else that they call these gatherings Smut Salons?

that's it. kirill's my favourite.

only fiction could inspire this kind of loyalty.

i said this previously but it bares repeating. i really don't know what i'm going to do when i don't have katee robert or rina kent to pull me out of a book slump.

i do not DNF. but i almost DNF'ed on page 1 because she named the setting/small town... DINKYTOWN.

... i'm gonna try to get past this, but i don't know how you expect me to take this seriously.

I am enjoying this so much. Trying to ignore the inevitable ticking time bomb that I sense coming.

In an attempt to actually work through my never-ending TBR I put my CVS Receipt sized list on a randomizer wheel.

It chose this book. I couldn't remember how I even came across it.. and right before I started this, I re-read the Gabriel's Inferno series. Gabriel reads this book. 😍

Also .... Colin Firth does the audiobook. Excuse me while I keep this FOREVER.

lesbian/queer youth + fear street vibes? SAY LESS.

.... although tbh i don't care how cute the girl is idk if i would agree to go to church. can i meet you for coffee after? i'll pay. but CHURCH? i might burst into flames upon entering.

I... love this so much. Ryan is my ultimate book boyfriend fantasy personified (in a non-smutty sense. strictly from a "checks every box" perspective").

...the smutty equivalent will always be Kingsley Edge. IYKYK.

Raise your hand if you wish Jet's mom was the one who had 7 days to live. (Pictures everyone raising their hands like that scene in the Mean Girls high school gym. "Raise your hand if you have ever been personally victimized by Regina George.")

I don’t mean this in a bad way but I feel like this could've ended already? What's left?

my first Ali Hazelwood!

is it terrible that i keep staring at this cover. this color scheme will always be a favourite. also, sexy times + divers/swimmers? yes and yes, please and thank you.

My first Freida!

the insults between Kingsley and his step-mother Susan are top tier.

Okay ... there's slow burn and then there's this. Halfway and not even a kiss?! But it hurts so good. Also, she finally stopped saying "poop" as her mental inner safe word.

.... the banter, the tension, the build-up... the story. Did I mention the banter?? Everybody loves Ro.... excuse me. REINER KULTI.

i have not hated an internal monologue this month since 50 Shades. Why does her internal monologue word of choice HAVE TO BE "poop"? No proofreaders or editors looked at this and thought, "let's change this word choice, yeah?"

i am really into this story but also, 35% and they haven't so much as kissed yet. there's slow burn and then there's... is this going to happen, ever?

People are saying "if you love Roy Kent from Ted Lasso, read this book." ... say less!

Why do I have to work for a living. I just want to stay up and finish this.

freaking finally.

Was definitely wrong. Way more of a Hatsumomo/Chiyo "Memoirs of a Geisha" vibe. Regardless, engrossing from the jump. Beautiful writing.

This is giving me a "snow flower and the secret fan" vibe. We'll see. I lovee that story.

i really enjoyed "youthjuice" and i get a sense this might, at least where the beauty products are concerned, be like that. i'm here for it.

another book where everyone has "neat, small breasts". what exactly makes them "neat"? maybe he and sophie lark compare notes.
