Kindle Notes & Highlights
Me: I’m so turned on right now. Please tell me you’ll whisper dad jokes in my ear while we bonk.
Bonk D:
Mr. Wrong Number: Yeah, baby jokes and weather anecdotes come fully loaded. And bonk is the sexiest word in the English language, btw.
Oh fuck off hes funny
I glanced down at my gym shorts and texted: Valentino gown, Ferragamo pumps, and the kickiest little feathered hat you’ve ever seen. Might’ve belonged to the Queen.
Ugh and shes funny
Not only did I introduce my boyfriend—now ex—to my stunningly beautiful coworker, but I encouraged him to collaborate with her on a project that required them to spend countless hours alone together in her apartment. Mr. Wrong Number: Oof.
Id kms if i said all that and got oofed
Did he actually think that? That his Liv-is-a-moron attitude was just our friendly wordplay? For some reason that irritated me, the fact that he didn’t even know that I didn’t like him; I mean, shouldn’t he know?
This has happened to me so many times omg
After a few minutes, he had the printer up and running and the machine back together. He straightened and said, “Boom.” I rolled my eyes, which made him smile. Those wild eyes twinkled as his deep voice purred out, “Need anything else fixed, Liv?”
This would absolutely work on me
Mr. Wrong Number: Nope. Just lying in bed, wide-awake. Me: Please don’t go creeper on me now. Mr. Wrong Number: What? I’m not a creep. I’m just lying in bed, naked, practicing my rope-tying skills while listening to Robin Thicke.
I love rom coms written by women bc it creates a universe where a man can be funny
Me: I can’t sleep, so sometimes instead of counting sheep I start considering the bizarre questions that my brain is constantly churning up. Mr. Wrong Number: The things you wonder about are batshit crazy.
Right shes totally not like other girls
Could it really be her? I started scrubbing one of the plates in the sink and felt gutted, like I’d just lost something by losing Misdial. Honestly, I was so damned disappointed I wanted to hit something.
Oh this is upsetting not what i wanted his reaction to be at alllll
“My apologies for interrupting you at my house.” He let go of my arms and I saw him flex his fingers before his hands dropped
Okay mr darcy i see you
Seriously? He was flexing his hand like he was Mr. Darcy at freaking Netherfield? He gave me a dickish smile and said, “How dare I?”
Woah why did I just make the same joke
I shut the front door and she gave us an embarrassed smile. “Um . . . don’t you just love Frozen?” Colin said, “More than life itself.” She pushed her wild hair out of her face. “I thought you were out for the night.”
Hey this random 3rd person change was weird
“You’re going to replace my four-hundred-dollar tequila?” Her mouth dropped open in shock. I thought she was going to apologize, but instead she said, “Oh, my God, who is stupid enough to spend four hundred dollars on a bottle of booze?”
Shes so funny stop
Mr. Wrong Number: What are you doing? Me: Can’t talk; on a brunch date. Mr. Wrong Number: On a scale of 1-10?
Hes crazy for not telling her its him at this point but also love him being clearly jealous
Until . . . “—so I mean yeah, the dude was a creep, but the hashtag Me Too stuff has gotten way out of hand. Like, a guy with money can’t even be alone with a woman anymore.”
Yup id be evil after this
Aw, hell. Even though I knew he wasn’t the guy for me, I realized he didn’t deserve this, either. Me: I can’t do this. I can’t be an asshole. I’m just going to finish up the date.
I fully disagree he can blow up
“I don’t think I believe you.” “Really, Beck?” She leaned closer and whispered something so incredibly dirty into my ear that my fingers reflexively tightened on her back.
I hate when im not told wth they said
I kept at it, feeding her slow intensity while wondering why it mattered that she was letting me.
Aaahhhh!!! Do yk how difficult it is to convince me sex is romantic yet im hearing it here fssss
“So you completely fabricated two children in order to get this job, is that correct?”
I just finished reading a not so meet cute so this isnt phasing me as bad as it should at least she didn't hire a fake baby daddy
But as I laid eyes on all of that sophistication, it hit me—he was the one who told. He had to be.
Girl how have you possibly drawn this conclusion literally anyone in the office couldve just found out by asking literally anyone about you
Miss Misdial: About the kiss, by the way. I read it twice, then read it again. The kiss? They kissed? Nick fucking kissed Olivia? I texted: Yeah, let’s talk about the kiss.
Aaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
His mouth was as hot as I remembered, as perfectly perfect, and it absolutely devoured mine. Oh, Gawwwd.
The gawd kinda makes me wanna die
“If you want to skip dinner, y’know, since I’m a mess now, I totally get it. We can drive through somewhere and just head home.” I shook my head and reached for her hand again. I was suddenly in this weird place where I always wanted a hand on her. I said, “You’re stunning, Marshall. Let’s go.”
Omg stop shut up awe
It wasn’t that she’d been clumsily oblivious to the glass, it was that she was so present in her own story that she hadn’t had time to notice the expensive crystal stemware that might be in the way.
What an adorably beautiful way to see her clumsiness
“I know.” He looked over at me, and I saw his jaws clench slightly. “But I didn’t like it.” My heart kicked up as his eyes pulled me in. He’d been jealous? Over me? I tucked my hair behind my ears and said, “I’d never even met—” “I didn’t like it.”
Smash smash smash
“Thanks for the incredible dinner. Text me later, okay?” I was confused for a second, but then I saw the telltale blink. The biting on the corner of her lip. She was nervous.
Ugghh need someone who just reads my mind like this. Books are making my standards insane
“You do know that in my whole life, until she came back and moved into the building, I never, ever thought about making a move on your sister, right?”
A little offensive whateverrr
I thought, What the hell. I tried to sound casual. “So, what was that Eli guy like?” Jack started laughing. “Oh, my God, you are so adorable I want to pinch your fucking cheeks. Look at you, all insecure about the ex.”
No genuinely awweeee
“What was he like?” “Fucking sweet as hell you are.” He shook his head. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so insecure in my entire life. Just be yourself, sunshine, and she will love you as much as I do.” I started laughing. “You’re such a dick.”
Love this frienship sm too
“Come on, Col. I’ll meet you outside.” We all watched in disbelief as my father exited the dining room. “Um.” Jillian leaned her elbows on the table. “Is Dad going to kick your ass?”
LMFAO NO BC WHYS HE WORDING IT LIKE THAt
He grinned. “Let’s just say I’ve figured him out. He claimed you were batshit crazy with a truckload of issues, but I should’ve known he was lying to keep me out of his territory.” “You do realize that referring to any woman as someone’s territory is offensive, don’t you, Nick?”
Shes like so very mad ab the wrong shit this isnt bad of him..
“Wow. After everything, you still really think that little of me?” I was surprised her words could make me feel so much shittier than I already did, but I guess I’d never known just how much of an asshole she thought I was. “Um, I guess that about covers everything. Later, then, Marshall.”
I fear its not his turn to be mad still
We were watching a DVD my dad had burned of Thanksgiving episodes of a bunch of shows, and Friends was currently on.
Wait this is such a good idea I should do this for every holiday
I knew I should wave, or feel bad for ditching them on a holiday, but I put the car in drive and took off. I had to get to Colin, and nothing else mattered.
If her family wasnt so annoying id be judging her. She can go to collin any other time
“Colin.” I looked up at his handsome face and wasn’t sure any compliment had ever meant that much to me in my entire life. “Are you saying that I’m your hero? That I’m the wind beneath your—” He stopped my words with a kiss, one
Ugh this is so fucking adorable I hope I explode
