also the violet and reed crumbs we were just fed made my whole day bc i love them SO MUCH as well. they truly remind me of hannah and garrett but just a more younger version and im not mad about it. in fact, this whole series so far gives off campus's younger sibling and i am here for it.

i wonder how paige and grayson's tension & chemistry is going to be expanded upon during this movie night, we'll see.

LMAOOO not paige giving grayson a face mask and doing a whole spa routine on him.. im crying and laughing at the same time 😅 thats so funny. also not his siblings laughing and teasing him as well and they lowkey clocked tea because he is indeed so whipped for paige.

i LOVE the found family trope in this book, it's just so fun to read about!

okay so now gray has agreed to be paige's flirting coach?!? oh i know this means he's going to fall for her eventually over the span of this because he is going to drop some smooth one liners.. i can already sense it.

not a big fan of friends to lovers but this book is convincing me otherwise..

i felt the second hand embarassement coming from paige as soon as she started talking to damien.. girl i feel you 😅 talking to guys in public is SCARY, especially if you're trying to make a move on them. also is grayson at this party? because if so i would PAY to see his reaction to all this.. i already know he's going to be jealous 🤭

also him being on the hockey team as well makes it so much more worse bc he's going to annoy grayson so much... ugh get him away. also him thinking he has a chance with paige because she's single?! grayson you better not let him steal your girl and i know he hates him.. so do i.

btw the violet & reed cameos are making me soo happy because i loved their book so much 🥺

uhmmm so wdym paige's first friend and crush has just showed up?!??! and not only that but she plans to have her first kiss with him?!? oh i already know grayson has a LOT to say about that and yk i do too... the fact that this guy is going to try and come between them, don't even think about it damien 🙄

also i have actually read this book before but for some reason, goodreads ddin't log anything so here i am pretending i'm reading it for the first time when im not. but tbh i did speed read so i don't really remember much but all i know is that it made me so giddy.

im taking my sweet time to really analyse and read this book now ( for the second time apparently but it's technically my first)

so now grayson is going to be paige's wingman in order for her to get her first kiss?!?! atp grayson you may as well kiss her yourself with how much you are IN LOVE with her bruh... you better confess your feelings to her soon.

parker lowkey has a point tho.. paige is the only one who grayson doesn't mind being around so they may as well marry each other 🤷🏼‍♀️ also the forced proximity we are going to be fed in this book?!?! its like this book was made for me.

but also what's inside paige's diary that is so important?!? guess we're about to find out.

literally only 5 percent in but grayson is already protective of her and is secretly in love with her? ohh you know his pov about to be lit. also the fact that he pretends to like what she bakes even though it's trash to make her smile is just ahhh i love them so much. and its only been like 12 pages 😅
