Connor just recommended they sing either *exile* or *coney island* by Taylor Swift at karaoke. I’m anTS fan and I barely know Exile and couldn’t even tell you what song Coney Island is, so this guy knowing and recommending them for karaoke (NOT THE VIBE) are wayyyyyyyy out of left field. Gonna say that’s a bad call from Lynn. It’s like her publisher forced her to add a TS reference or something. 🚩

Connor is perfect and honestly, it’s annoying. I love a golden retriever book boyfriend, but the annoying part is how he’s perfect and has the depth of a raindrop in a thimble. *sigh* On a good note, Duffy is far less snarky and more endearing the past few pages, so that’s progress. I am just not connecting with this love story in a meaningful way. Still, I will press on.

I usually inhale Lynn’s books and so far, this is no different. However, there is one caveat. I don’t like the FMC. Eek! I know I know! But I’m going to push through. I just think her snark verges too far into the category of rude (as a real live snarky person, I’m allowed to say this!). It’s less charming and more mean. Hoping the edge wears off.
