“The way he tastes me like I’m chocolate.” …. What?! LOL
Thankfully this author skips the erotic scenes but I feel like I’d rather have skipped over a boring sex scene than to read something like THAT ^ ever again 😂😂😂

I never read these as a kid but I’m so glad to be starting now!

“She was pretty, her little forehead was round and domed.” I’m sorry but what are these descriptions of women and girls?! They all sound like aliens or vampires!

So Una has ankles as thin as grass and fingernails shaped like almonds. Cute!

Someone please tell me why Cathy/Cate has “small, sharp teeth” and why we have to hear about it so often 😭🤮

She smiled weakly and he thought, “What a child, what a helpless child.”
“Will you marry me?”
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

“There’s a school teacher, prettiest thing you ever saw. Had little tiny feet.” Steinbeck, I’m disappointed. 🤮
First of all since when are tiny feet a sign of beauty and 2nd of all why are we describing a grown woman like a delicate little child?

“I mean, it’s Paris, there’s probably all kinds of food!”
This, folks, is the main character we’re dealing with 🫠

I’m sorry but what just happened? Adriana specifically told Brayden not to be seen with other people during their scheme. But then she does exactly that? And wonders why he is upset?

“We got to be friends first. That’s better.”

“This was the thing that I kept trying to manufacture. Only with Chris it was real.”

“We’re fed the narrative that you never give up on the ones you love. And I did love Mike. But it wasn’t my job to hold him up while he decided if he wanted to stand or not. To scream at him to change until I lost my voice.”

“Mike never told me no. That suddenly felt like a red flag now. Some people-pleasing impulse that kept him from letting me know what he truly thought or who he really was.”

First tears of the book

“What if what’s coming is better than what we’ve already done?”

I’m not sure how Abby J does it but somehow I’m on page 29, fully invested, have laughed several times already, and know this book is going to be fabulous.
