Kindle Notes & Highlights
Nothing said “Good morning” like the smell of stale cigarettes and spilled beer.
Girl what world are you living in? That sounds awful...
“I remember asking you to grab a cup for Gus, too.”
ANd she didn't on purpose lol
Men who are that good-looking should not be allowed to be such assholes. It was false advertising.
One of the most annoying things about Teddy? She was familiar, even though I didn’t want her to be.
OMG DID THEY HAVE SEX AT ONE POINT?
But here I was seven years later still thinking about it.
They've totally had sex.
It reminded me of how it felt against my neck.
Did we know they had sex and i just forgot?
Her fiancé, Greg, is some big deal investment banker,
Isn't that not his name?
“I’ll take care of it.”
She's gonna call Teddy dude and you're gonna be all pissy about it
She was younger than Gus, though, and he was ancient at thirty-six or fifty—however old he was.
Girl stop. You know EXACTLY how old he is
“Talk to her like that again, I dare you,”
Daddy
In the past, I’ve willingly leaned on Emmy, but I just didn’t know how to right now. I felt like my emotions were too jumbled to even begin to talk them through. And if I was being honest with myself, I didn’t want to hurt Emmy’s feelings. I didn’t want to have to tell her that part of the reason I was sad was because of her.
I get this, its like feeling as though you're bein left behind and it's not fun
Her hair was pulled up in that stupid fucking ponytail,
One i bet you wish you could wrap around yout fist??
Teddy flipped her ponytail, and I got a prime view of her stupid neck.
Dude you are so obsessed with her.
“Watch your mouth around my kid.”
“You called Brooks—and I quote—‘the biggest fucking dumbass on the whole fucking planet’ in front of her like a week ago,”
Imagine if Gus was nice and all of this was happening—I’d never recover.
It would never not be the most annoying thing in the world that he was so fucking handsome.
She went back to reading her paperback—which I could now see had a shirtless man in a kilt on the cover.
Oooooo sounds intriguing
The hero and heroine are too busy fumbling around each other to realize that the reason it feels like all the oxygen has been sucked out of the room every time they touch is because they’re in love.”
FORESHADOWING
Is that what you’re looking for, Gussy? A nice girl to call you Daddy?”
Omg are you gonna call him Daddy? Because tbh i hate that
It reminded me of something I tried to forget—something Gus had obviously forgotten. I wished I could forget it, too—since it obviously hadn’t meant anything.
Tell us about how you had sexxxxxxxxxxxxx probably drunken sex too.
His eyes shifted to Dusty, who also waved. Gus’s frown deepened just a bit, but he recovered quickly to just a normal frown.
He's jelly belly duh
The woman Dusty was in love with was the mother of Gus’s child.
Its probably not a big deal though right?
When I’d picked Riley up, she asked what Riley and I were going to get up to, so I told her we were heading to the diner. Next thing I know, her car pulls up behind my truck when I park on the street and she and her daughter walk in with me and Riley, and Nicole asks for us all to be seated together.
Dude she's shooting her shot
Just because he’s a good dad and sometimes looks at you like you’re the only person in the room does not mean that he isn’t a dick.
This is an important fact to remember.
“Jack Black oozes sex appeal?”
Jack Black??? Really...
I wondered whether I could taste the sun on her skin.
This guy needs to get laid
Gus looked at me, and there was a smile on his face, and goddamn if it wasn’t the most beautiful smile I’d ever seen.
Because I can’t get rejected again.
Oh no... What did he do back then?
Seven Years Ago
OMG YESSSSS TELL ME EVERYTHING.
“You’ve gotta stop squaring up with men who look like they eat raw eggs for breakfast, Theodora.”
“Why?”
“Because it’ll be embarrassing when they lose.”
I kissed her like I’d been waiting my entire life for this moment—like I might die if my mouth wasn’t on hers.
I thought that when I saw her in the light of day, I wouldn’t want to kiss her anymore, but I did. I wanted it so badly I felt like I couldn’t think straight.
The vet—Dr. Bowski, better known as Jake, or just “the vet”—had
Isn't that the guy Teddy's been sleeping with??? hes gonna ask about her and Gus is gonna get all pissy huh?
When she got close enough to him, she touched his fucking arm.
Ohno is this gonna make him all pissy? Something's gotta. I mean the man lives his best pissy life.
“So this guy is complicated enough that you haven’t told your best friend, and are instead asking for advice from the woman who was married for three months and subsequently fell in love with her boss a year later?”
After he put Riley to bed, he walked past the living room—again without looking at me—and slammed his bedroom door.
Wtf is wrong with this motherfucker. He cannot possibly be losing his mind like this over a former fling??
“If getting suffocated by your perfect cunt is the way I go, then let me,”
“Now sit on my face. I want my last supper.”
These lines are a little cringe tbh
“I should’ve been there,”
Uh oh. Is she gonna pull away from Gus because she was with him and not her dad?
“Roll with the punches, Teddy Andersen. And punch back if you need to,”
I’d rather fight with Teddy than be happy with anyone else.
“I can’t suck your dick in the kitchen if your pants are on, August.”
I’d never seen a cowboy’s pants come off faster.
that tracks.
Teddy’s bag was by the front door, and I had to fight the urge to kick it or dump it out or take it back to my room and start putting all her shit in my dresser.
Daddy
Also, his name was Graham? I’d been calling him Greg this whole time.
I knew that wasn't his name!
“What do you mean?”
I swear this girl needs everything spelled out for her. She's obviously painting the ranch.
“Bumping uglies?”
Please never say that again thank you.
