Kindle Notes & Highlights
Tansy didn’t know the real Gemma West, and Gemma West sure as hell didn’t know of Tansy,
so she’s gonna meet the real gemma and have her fake date her, right?

Gemma West swept inside the room as if she owned it,
knew it…
Tansy’s only mistake—fine, one of several—was being stupid enough to have saved a picture of Gemma West, er, van Dalen to her camera roll. Stupid enough to have said yes when Jackie had asked if it was a picture of her girlfriend.
LMAOOO YOU DUMB BITCH
Ashleigh dropped her cold compress and stood, chair legs squealing against the ballroom’s two-tone herringbone wood floor. “I, for one, am dying for you to introduce us.”
i don’t like her fr
“Six months, huh?” Gemma’s lips quirked. “I guess time really flies when you’re having fun.”
AHHH I LOVE HER
Ashleigh’s smile wavered. “What the hell?”
HA BITCH YOU MAD
A spot Tansy hadn’t known was sensitive until Gemma touched it. Touched her.
her gay panic is so funny and cute
“Tansy, here, has agreed to marry me.”
whoa bitch wtf?!
Gemma couldn’t remember,
oooh i love a good pov change
“Not paid, right?”
she’s not fr right. i’m starting not to like her
do with—well,
this is started to get annoying
Katherine laughed. “Oh, Tansy. For a second, I thought you were serious.”
oh yea i don’t like her
her father’s death had been sudden, the result of an aneurysm, a brain bleed no one could’ve seen coming.
that bitch did it, didn’t it?
Either Scylla will keep them on or they’ll find work somewhere else.”
Marry me and I can promise pathetic will be the last thing anyone calls you.
kinda hate the writing style
i hate this too
“Do you at least have a copy of your religious text that I might be able to peruse at my leisure?”
he talks too much for me. ik this is supposed to be the “funny” bit, but it’s going on for too long. now it’s annoying.
“Take half my money?” Gemma shrugged, completely blasé. “You’re welcome to it.”
wait- i’ll marry you
“You know me,” Lucy said, nostrils flaring delicately. “I know you.” Gemma tried not to cringe. Not this. Not again. “I do. You can deny it all you want, but I know you better than anyone.”
wait…does she like gemma???
“You’re making a mistake,” Lucy
i may not like lucy by the end of this book
“Bad news. I know better than most, remember?”
what happened between them
that selling yourself isn’t your only option.”
it’s not that serious bookie
“What am I saying? Of course this isn’t your only option. You can always come here. You know that, right? You might have to bunk with the boys, and Maisie’s farts are fucking lethal, but my home is your home, hon. Always and forever.”
what does this have to do w her livelihood being sold…this would not be helping her at all
If life were about deserving, guys like Tucker wouldn’t get away with what they did while girls like her . . . well, everything would be different.
WHAT DID HE DOOO
she’d had her trust annihilated, her name run through the mud, and her reputation destroyed. Tansy had been humiliated.
:(
Not that her mistake, her misplaced trust excused what Tucker had done. Not that it was her fault.
right! this wasn’t her fault, but adults around her should have warned her better than that
In hindsight, it was ridiculous. She should’ve said something, but at sixteen, the idea of losing the only family she had left had been unconscionable.
This was definitely Katherine’s doing.
hate this lady bro
Gemma smiled at him benignly. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.
love that!
She had to work twice as hard as everyone else for half the fucking credit, and she was used to it, and far from surprised, but God, she was sick to death of it. Sick of it all.
cause they’re sexists pieces of shit
“Your cousin has never embarrassed this family.” Victor stared back at her, eyes impassionate. “Your cousin has never disappointed me.” Well, fuck. Her sinuses stung and her eyes welled with moisture.
bitch ass mfer
No matter how hard she tried, nothing she did would ever be good enough. No amount of rehabbing her reputation—which she’d earned from acting out in an attempt to get her father’s attention, a method that had backfired by ensuring she’d never gain his approval—would undo the damage done. No number of good deeds would ever outweigh the handful of harmless mistakes she’d made. Nothing would ever be enough. She would never be enough.
oh honey :(
“I didn’t start this, you did.” She threw a glare over her shoulder. “But trust me when I say I intend to finish it.”
“A shame he never had the chance to meet you. He would’ve liked you.”
that’s so cute stop 😭
and, mm, the
that was disgusting
“Then be honest—do I make you nervous?”
why i kinda like this 🫣
You have no idea. I’d worship you, if you’d let me.”
“Are you in love with her?” Lucy demanded. “Tell me the truth.”
they literally just met wtf are we talking ab rn
“If you were really sorry, you wouldn’t go through with this,” Lucy said. “If you really cared about me, you wouldn’t.”
i really don’t like her
Bad. Right. Wait. Why would that be bad?
lmaoo this bitch so funny
But Jesus Christ were the next two years going to suck, remaining celibate.
that’s all you care ab?
She forced a smile that felt a thousand kinds of wrong. “We’re great.”
what?!
“Well.” Brooks smirked. “I wouldn’t say no to a pony.”
he’s so stupid lmaooooo
“Makes me feel all warm and gooey inside.”
typo??
“Good. That’s good. I’m happy to hear that.” He cleared his throat. “That Lena’s good.” She frowned, studying him closely. “Are you feeling okay?” “I’m perfect.” He smiled and flicked the straw inside his glass.
did he like your mom?
Namely, she had a fiancée to woo.
yayy
“I was going to say romantic, but now that you mention it”—Tansy smiled—“yeah, it was pretty corny.”
“If you’re sure, then, yeah.” Tansy grinned. “I’d really like that.” Gemma tugged her fingers free from her glove and smiled. “Put me to work, boss.”
EHHH
After that, Grandpa gave me a permanent pass.”
LMAOOO AIN’T NO WAYYYY
