Kindle Notes & Highlights
He said it was because I needed an American nickname too,
Yeah papa seems racist
I was eighteen and had the money saved, but when my father realized what I was planning, he had me legally declared mentally incompetent and forced me to come to California with him.
Controlling white man, go figure 🙄
“Rodriguez?” Juliette scoffed. “Shouldn’t it be Coleman?”
No, clearly he was no father to her so why would it be?
“Besides, no daughter of mine is going to go to public school when I can provide her with a better education.”
So she wasn’t your daughter six months ago then huh?
“I understand why you feel that way. However, they are your family and you need to accept that. You need to find a way to build a relationship with them.”
Red flag on you therapist
I always figured it was something like that, but having it confirmed made the nightmare real in a way it hadn’t been before.
Is it because you are dramatic Brian? Cause that’s a dramatic ass assumption
“I just found out that the most important person in my life didn’t die eight months ago. She’s been in a freaking coma and she just e-mailed me to tell me that she’s still alive! I’m a little freaked out right now, so don’t give me any more shit! I need to talk to her.”
Brian you are so dramatic, this is so dramatic, so like clearly I love you lol
I feel helpless here chica.
Jacob Black, is that you?!
I never knew you had some big, gay celebrity crush on Brian Oliver.
It can be a crush without being gay Ella, I mean I would be gay in this instance but you didn’t have to say it like that.
“Yes, I mean Ella. If I’d known she was alive, I never would have let anyone talk me into this stupid plan in the first place. Now that I have her back, I’m not going to ruin things with her by getting pretend-engaged to you.”
I’ve realized why I like this so much! I keep saying “the drama” but dude it reminds me of a telenovela!
“I’m not saying you don’t have a reason to be angry,” Juliette said, “but you asked what my problem is with you, and that’s it. We were happy before you came here. Now my parents fight a lot more, and Ana and I barely speak except to yell at each other. I get that you have problems, and I understand that this sucks for you, but it doesn’t change the fact that you’re making everyone in this house miserable. You’re ruining my family.”
It sounds like the shitty man y’all call daddy is ruining your family. This is all his fault. You are all salty for his attention. So typical blaming her for the failures of a man.
“friend” zone
Glad this is in parenthesis because it’s not a thing
Friend zone, my ass. Brian Oliver is no woman’s friend.
Why boys brain so small?
“Why didn’t you ever call or send him your school pictures or anything?”
What we are not gonna do is blame a child for her own neglect
Rob Loxley
Fucking Robin Hood, the drama in this feeds my soul
Her anger made me smile. It was the little things in life that counted.
That’s petty and I love it
You’re hot. You have that sexy half-Latina thing going on.”
That god he didn’t say spicy
but my blue eyes with my brown skin and dark hair were unmistakable.
Honestly that’s a fairly unremarkable look but go off
Brian happily accepted the book, then looked up at me. “And who am I making it out to?” I suppressed an eye roll. “I don’t want you to sign it. I want you to read it.” Brian squinted up at me. “Come again?”
My second hand embarrassment, it knows no bounds 😬🫣🫠
“I would take you anywhere, Ella, give you anything you wanted. All you’d have to do is let me.”
I’m a sucker, such an easy hoe
Meeting your mother was like a breath of fresh air. She was so fun and exotic.
Why are white men?
I may not have been raised with religion, but I was taught to take responsibility for my actions.”
Until their eight and then you’ll abandon them
“I would still like that,” my dad said quietly, “if you’ll give me a chance.”
Girl don’t do it, it’s not worth it girl.
I’d feel more comfortable if you’d let me at least be a part of the decision-making process.”
Of course you would, you’re a controlling white man.
“Forgive me, Ellamara, oh wise, mystic priestess of the Realm, and let me give you the ending you’ve always wanted.”
He’s so cheesy, I love it
“Your father makes me feel beautiful, and that’s enough.” She turned her smile back to me. “Maybe Brian Oliver will be the one who does that for you.”
We should feel pretty all on our own ladies! But I appreciate the sentiment.
The wicked glint in his eyes was the only warning he gave me before he dipped me back into a deep kiss.
Better then a kiss with a foot pop
Brian looked at the man and then back at me. His grin spread the entire length of his face and he said, “How about, ‘And they lived happily ever after’?”
I kinda adore this cheese ball
