1000 great things. Little suns. the cutest.

friend security moment was freakin good. it’s wonderful adult moment you don’t need to be the most anything but you need to trust they’ll care.

Aleks is easy breezy and just a chuckle etc his demeanor is a win. especially cuz he doesn’t have a pov of his own . Nic’s I defended him to his sister moment was so so good.

“you’re going to do this and that’s fair” but it’s just going to make me mad—-like our self aware queen. That’s what I’m saying yeah she has vulnerabilities but she owns it and asks what she actually needs that’s a step up to me.

Nic does clock that she’s not him and he cannot use her problems as win when he can’t control his parents.

Chapter 24 the big fight is so good. I’ll say it forever : gimme a good fight and then I will be in your corner. A good fight is smart, competitive, and uses the best arguments in their arsenal. avoids low blows but impact is impact. This was a great fight.

That’s the thing keeping from a title and compares it his own past. He walked away after his title. His parents were also legacies and there was also immense pressure because as the eldest. I love that he’s an eldest brother. His guiding and helping his sibs is so sweet and just feeds my heart. Nic’s concern for him even when mad is wonderful too.

Nic reminds me of Sterris. If I do everything I can to achieve something I can let go of the outcome a little bit. But takes it the extra mile that she also punishes herself. The voices in her head don’t tire unless she’s exhausted too. So she pushes and pushes. Aleks as a conditioning and strength coach believes very strongly what she needs less exhaustion and more rest in addition very target conditioning.

incredible!!! once I picked this up again. you couldn’t keep me away. like I love how strong Nic is. She doesn’t think she’s strong but she is. She got some vulnerabilities but what makes her so lovable is that she knows what she needs and stands up for those things. Loyalty and feeling secondary she says it out loud. Aleks has got some resolve too. This is not frivolous tug of war for him. Eldest bro probs rooted.

I am definitely everything I can get my hands on by this author. Like she’s so freakin good. I am just having a TIME reading this. Like happy skipping all over the place.

I love this conflict about his sister and his love interest. Having really strong dislike between them. Having him communicate with both of them in a very invested capacity. Loyalties that are strong and involved.

I am would be surprised if this doesn’t make my favorites list which is my version above 5 start list. Mentally I’m skipping while reading this. Me realizing I’m going to do everything in my power to get her other books. I just rec 6 of her books to my library for purchase yesterday.

I’m hooked. it’s wonderful. internal dilemmas a workholic and happy go simp.

Aleks is radiant. “By the way, you have really nice penmanship. I like that in a woman.” — I just started giggling.. He’s nice confident and easy. How nice would it be to be like him?

Nic- I love her. I am her. Some of the time. most of my life. As confident as he is we know from her thoughts she is submerged in doubts.
