*Incoming rant with ALL the spoilers
Sooooooo many things that I disliked here and most of them are honestly just things that I really hate in romance. Frist of all, the opening scene with Georgie throwing food at Travis was weird and honestly disrespectful. There are better ways to get someone out of a funk. The fact that his theme song was "It wasn't me" is cringe, and their first few encounters were so fucking infantilizing. The fact that Georgie apparently gets horny when she hears "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" is weird along with her obsession with Travis. Also her swearing off men because he didn't make it to the appointment for the fireplace was such an overreaction. I really don't like the baby girl thing, that's just a personal preference. Georgie also falls into the "he can't possibly want me because he could have anyone" bullshit while Travis is in the "I'm too fucked up to be loved" camp. Both are hella annoying. Stephen has to be one of the worst siblings in the history of forever. He had no right to tell Travis how Georgie felt about him. The fact that he said to her "he'll chew you up and spit you out" was way out of line and then he suddenly decided to be a brother at the end when really all he did was fuck shit up and cause an unnecessary third act break up - which was stupid as hell. Travis literally says to Georgie " I fucked up but let me explain" and instead of hearing him out she listens to her brother who hasn't given her a single ounce of his attention this entire time. He also was so worked up about the fact that he didn't think Travis could treat Georgie right but why is a person like that your best friend? The phrase "masculine scent" is used a few times and what the fuck does that mean? What makes a scent masculine? Like I get what she was going for but why not name actual scents instead of staying that dumb shit? Also, Travis not wanting kids and suddenly changing his mind is fucking bullshit. You don't change your mind on something like that "when you meet the right person" what was even the point??
As much as I hated this I kind of want to read the next book because it's about Rosie. Should I?
