What’s up with this author’s hatred for contractions? All of the characters speak like “I am enjoying your company” “does your husband know you are here?” “I am very flattered” “No, my wife does not know that I am here” “I will go down the street and buy some pasta if that is okay with you.” “Yes that is okay with me.”

What I wouldn’t give for some natural sounding speech!

I’m on chapter twenty five and literally nothing has happened

Why is this so… crass?

The supposed hero has called people “shitdump”, “jizzmuffin” and “shartstain” in the first few pages. I just can’t imagine someone who uses phrases like that is good in bed 😖 He sounds approximately thirteen.

Why👏would👏you👏put👏that👏in👏an👏email????

My God, I can forgive dumb bunny heroines a lot, but this is beyond. And no one is pointing out to her that she signed a non-disclosure? They would 100% sue.

The heroine is too stupid to live

Ali's books have become even more compulsively readable. I miss Lukas but am enjoying this one a lot so far

Why does Edward always act like the sole victim? Like my friend, basically nothing happened to you if you’re comparing it with what your wife endured. Gah I’m so frustrated. Why are men

He keeps calling her a “cow”??? Like what? Is this supposed to be in ANY WAY appealing? I’m so confused.

Finally some action but there's almost no burn here? Also, why do Draco and Hermione act like they're grandparents? They're supposed to be like 31. ALSO Hermione is the worst kind of Mary Sue insert - she's so perfect with kids and at magic and at medicine and at everything except actually admitting her stupid feelings gahhhhhhh

why does everyone sound exactly the same.

also pls god fuck already

Greenlight (Dramione fic) quite literally never ends. The first part was so strong but part two is draaaaagging.

It's funny, this is so... un-sexy to me. I can only read the word "cunt" so many times before I just need a little variety. But the writing is undeniably good and the story itself is riveting. Such a unique take on Dramione.

I take it back. Lainey is terrible. I actually don't really like any of them, except Olivia.

I know I'm "supposed" to like Tyson and think Lainey is insufferable but so far I'm the opposite. Lainey seems like a human being and Tyson is annoyingly perfect and kind of a snob.

IDK this book is odd.

Wow, Ama is such an asshole. I don’t know why we’re supposed to be rooting for her?

I'm enjoying this purely because Rue and Eli aren't carbon copies of every other Ali Hazelwood couple, but man, he's unhinged.

I guess I just don’t get this? Why are these two people together beyond the trauma bond? Why does Helen STILL hate Grant as an adult? Surely she would have realized he had zero to do with her sister’s death? These are two deeply depressed people who shouldn’t be in a relationship. I FEAR for Emily Henry if this is the author adapting her novels for screen :(

This book is so confusing and strange. Helen is like two different people. Grant isn’t attractive, and he made a joke about how he slaughtered her sister. Like, what.

I’m struggling with this. Helen is such a foul and unlikeable character.

Ummmm 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

I’m obsessed with this 😅

This is fascinating. You *must* get the audiobook though. Gloria's voice is fantastic and she is so emotional as she talks about her childhood. I am adoring this.

Should a guy who is 2 months sober be getting into a new relationship? This revelation kinda pushed me out of the festive fun vibes lol.

This is giving me feelings of dread and I’m OBSESSED. I really liked The Ink Black Heart but this is even better so far.

I almost can’t believe this book was professionally edited. Every new chapter starts by reiterating the characters first and last names like we weren’t just with them a second ago. And there’s so much repetitive information! This is surprising honestly.
