Kindle Notes & Highlights
According to MapQuest, it was roughly thirty-seven hours and eleven minutes long.
Mapquest!? What year was this written?
His hair was a dark, dark brown, and he liked to have it lightly styled into chunky but orderly pieces.
I do not understand this hairstyle
our new roommate, Kellan Kyle, was a local rock star.
And the third corner of a love triangle
Of course, being so brilliant, he landed his dream internship in Seattle. He was going to work for a company that, according to Denny, was one of the leading advertising agencies in the world, and was responsible for coming up with a certain golden-arched fast-food chain’s world renowned jingle.
So a marketing genius? Is there a standardized test for that? Also, Pusha T helped write that jingle

The only part of the move I had protested, vehemently, was driving there. A few hours in a plane versus days in a cramped car . . . it really was a no-brainer to me. But Denny had some odd attachment to his vehicle and refused to leave it behind. I supposed it would be convenient to have a car in Seattle, but I got a good half day of sulking out of it anyway.
Would she rather not have a car in Seattle? Or all of her stuff which can be transported in a car?
Watching him seduce the entire cluster of female groupies was making me uncomfortable, and I shifted my focus to the remaining three members.
Is she still walking across the bar and making these observations?
Denny had only mentioned that our new roommate, Kellan, was in this band. He had never elaborated on which member he might be. I hoped it was the big, teddy-bear-looking guy in
You know it's the lead singer
There was just an air of menace about him, which, now that I noticed the name of the bar across his shirt, seemed appropriate. He obviously worked as a bouncer here.
Shes observant our girl
I didn’t feel like I was anything special to look at. Not that I was unattractive, just nothing special.
Observant and modest
The insipid girls, whose number had doubled, were still clamoring for his attention. They didn’t even seem to recognize the change of the music’s tone.
She's just so much deeper than other girls
Maybe my first impression was wrong? Maybe Kellan was someone worth getting to know better? Living with him was going to be . . . interesting.
They're going to bang
hadn’t remembered shampoo in my hurry to the bathroom, but luckily there was a bar of soap in the shower. Not the greatest way to wash my hair, but I wasn’t comfortable using Kellan’s expensive-looking stuff.
Why am I so annoyed that she brought none of her toiletries to her first post travel shower
shut the water off and dried away the droplets with the only available towel. It was dreadfully thin and slightly too small; I would need to remember my big, comfy towel next time.
She also forgot her own towel!? Also, dried the droplets? Really?
Denny knew me so well that he wasn’t too surprised at my reaction over something so small. He knew how embarrassed I would be, running into someone I didn’t know in only a thin towel.
Meeting someone practically naked is kinda universally embarrassing though
Kellan smiled back and clasped Denny’s shoulder in a quick hug. I smiled too. Guys could be so cute.
Eye roll
“Hungry? I think there’s still some food in the car.”
Car snacks for breakfast? Kellan only stocks coffee?
I instantly realized how horribly offensive that must have sounded and regretted saying it. I didn’t intend it that way. I was just curious about why he was so . . . flirtatious . . . on stage.
You've done nothing but be annoyed by him and judge him. Of course you said something offensive
Great, now he thought I was this prudish person who couldn’t handle him.
You couldn't even say sexual
I blushed a little bit over calling him beautiful out loud, and to a guy. I generally tried to not use that word in everyday conversation. People tended to look at me strangely.
Pretty certain that no one cares if you use the word beautiful. Is she trying to be not like other girls? Or is she just too stupid to live
The only phone in the house was an olive-green, corded, seventies-looking contraption in the kitchen,
Mapquest and no cell phones
Eventually, I turned my back on them and ignored their happy conversation. It wasn’t as if my mom and dad were saying anything other than “Ready to come home now?” anyway.
Delightful
Kellan looked up at us from where he was sitting at the table, writing notes on a spiral pad of paper. Lyrics, maybe? He gave us an amused grin and went back to his work.
These people interact like sociopaths. I don't know if the author knows how to write dialogue so she just uses grins and blushing
I was happily kissing his jaw and moving to his neck, when a faint, amused chuckle woke me from my reveling.
Everyone emotes in amused grins and giggle
Kellan shook his head at me, an amused grin on his face.
Amused is used 53 times in this book
“. . . this girl, damn, she had the best rack I’ve ever seen.” The bassist paused to make a crude gesture with his hands, as if the guys would need that statement clarified. “And the shortest skirt too. Everybody around us was completely wasted, so I ducked under the table and shoved that skirt as high as it would go. Then I grabbed my beer bottle and stuck—”
Excuse me!?
hear the clatter of food being prepared. That must be the kitchen.
Her powers of observation are awe inspiring
I thanked Kellan for his small part in introducing us to Pete
He was solely responsible for introducing you though?
I rolled my eyes a little at the extremeness of his attractiveness,
Rolling of eyes happens 73 times. I would have thought like double that
When I had told Pete I had been a waitress, I was exaggerating a tiny bit.
Lying doesn't make you blush or irritated when everything else does?
when things got slow at the tail end of the night, cleaning the graffiti from the bathroom stalls. Pete gave me some gray paint and a little brush and left me to it.
Sounds like hazing actually
He shook his head in open delight. “I just want to . . . deflower you.” He winked at me.
Hes so edgy
