just too slow for me

The writing was just a little too descriptive and I found parts a little clunky

I love Shawn so much. New book boyfriend alert

I really liked the ending. The whole story was pretty good but there was something missing? 

I’m not really sure what but I never fully invested in it

I loved that ending. It was a lot better than Icebreaker and I still really liked that one but this was more focused.

just not vibing with Emily Henry

I can only suspend my disbelief so far. There is no way this man went from “fan girls are everywhere, pretend to be on duty so I can escape” to “omg i’m on a date with a fan girl”. And I wish I could say there was no way I would believe her naivety and quite honestly childish nature but I can believe it and I hate it.

“She knew she should let go. She was already pushing it by being with him. Dangerous people were looking for her, and it wasn’t fair to drag anyone else into that. But she had loved Christian from afar for so long, and here he was in the flesh, taking her on a date (because it was a date!), and now he was holding her hand.”

Genuinely why does this have good ratings? Cade is an irredeemable asshole. The whole thing was just him being an asshole and gaslighting her because she left to go to college and never came back BECAUSE he told her to leave and he didn’t love her. He is not good at all.

I wasn’t loving it because there was quite a few Harry Potter references and I can’t stand TERFy McTERFerson and the relationship was waaay too fast for me. They went on one date and suddenly she was daydreaming about a proposal. I gave up for good when he is talking to his friend at the bar about how it’s hard to find a good women and apparently his friend has scars and women are “superficial bitches”. So, that’s nice.
