Also sidenote - the boys helping Grayson win over Paige and giving him advice literally reminds me of the Off Campus groupchat 😅😅 ohhh I actually can't with how much this series and these characters remind me of Off Campus.

Maybe it's my sign to reread that series..

But what else was I supposed to do? I was in love with Grayson. I loved him. And I had desperately wanted to lean in and kiss him.

You know a book is good when I start literally posting updates like there's no tomorrow.. somebody stop me please. Also Paige just kiss Grayson at this point because the feelings are SO OBVIOUS.

The way I yearned for his smiles, how I relished his scowls, how I admired his strength of heart, and how I adored his quiet kindness. It was clear I’d fallen for Grayson Darling, without even realizing it. I wasn’t confused anymore. I was in love with my best friend. And I think I had been for a long time.

I think I'm starting to like the friends to lovers trope.. oh boy.

She's about to interview the hockey players for an article and Bonnie has given her a list of questions to ask because Damien is also in the team.. tbh I'm kinda scared on what questions Bonnie gave Paige 😅 all I know is that they're going to be fuuny though.

Can we also talk about the fact that Paige now realises her feelings for Grayson? Oh the next 20% is about to be peak friends to lovers core.

Okay Paige, I think you're down bad for Grayson as much as he is for you... it's about time y'all realised your feelings for each other. Also everyone does in fact need a friend like Bonnie because they will clock you and bring you back to reality.

The fact that they also literally slept together ( not in that way) because Paige was terrified of thunder is so cute 😭🥺 stop I love them so much.

“I think if you wear that dress for a second longer, I’m going to forget we’re just friends.”

EXCUSE ME SIR?!?!? That's it. I'm done. Grayson Darling, the boyfriend you are. I'm actually kicking my feet and being so giddy as I'm writing this because oh my gosh, the tension we just got fed between Paige & Grayson was EVERYTHING 😫😫

I CAN'T. THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD.

Also I think Paige is realising that she is starting to have feelings for Grayson which, thank God finally because poor Grayson thinks it's one sided but I can tell you this right now. In like a few chapters or so, it ain't going to be one sided anymore.. because they both like each other but just can't say it.

Also Grayson's dad being the dad Paige never had is so cute 😭😭

Stopp not Paige having a dream about Grayson and then the next morning, he appears shirtless in front of her.. girl looks like your dreams are coming true 😅 also Parker's nickname being Monkey is so unintentionally funny, I don't know why.

Also this man is dedicated to Paige because he SKIPPED hockey practice to go shopping with her.. and he doesn't even like shopping. Get you a man like Grayson Darling.

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!
