Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Excuse my brother. He’s struggling with his grief.” Cal places a hand on my shoulder and gives it a squeeze.
I thought the starting POV was the lady MC. Rowan seems like a standard cool girl name, right?
“If there’s anyone who has a right to be pissed, it’s me. I’m the one who needs to marry someone and impregnate them to become CEO.”
I hope this storyline is that he comes out as ace, and then everyone realizes that heteronormative marriage and babies is not for everyone.
Somehow, she wrapped old Ralph around her finger with nothing but a smile and a promise of baked goods.
Baked good are the best way to win over coworkers
We don’t seek to make the world better. We seek to make it ours.
I assume all cis het white guys think like this
couple heads snap in our direction.
Lots of head snapping so far. This might the author's crutch phrase.
I tap her nose. “You bet. And I know kids are going to be jealous of your cool wheels when their feet are aching and sore.”
Nothing like a kid with a disability to bring out the humanity in our heroine
stare up at Princess Cara’s Castle.
Doesn't quite have the same ring as Cinderella's castle
They don’t need the useless input from low-paid employees who don’t know the first thing about how to design a park.
Really leaning in to this capitalist villain
Since drinking and typing have no place in my life, I decide to click the Save Draft button at the bottom and shut my laptop for the night.
Wouldn't you type this up in word first and then paste into the online form? Or is it just anxious folks that do that?
make decisions based on facts and years of fine-tuned expertise.”
How old is he supposed to be, to have all these years of experience?
They’ve made history for their inventions and were even invited to the White House a few years back. I
I mean so were Ted Nugent and Kid Rock so...
“But there’s a ten-thousand-dollar raise.”
Per year?! That's it!? Going from MUA to engineer should be a bigger raise
I blame my exposure to Pride and Prejudice at a young and impressionable age.
P&P always shows up in these books
I’m not signing anything before I have a chance to read the fine print.” “You’re not special enough for any fine print.”
Book title!
Maybe there’s more to Little Miss Bubbly than meets the eye, and something tells me it has to do with the understated black semicolon pin.
Manic pixie mental health girl
Why lead me through the warehouse himself rather than throw the task on someone more willing and available?
My question too
He kneels down on his perfectly pressed trousers. I shouldn’t find it as hot as I do,
I had a friend who used to go absolutely bonkers for guys in pressed dress slacks
Well, at least it explains your unhealthy obsession with Mr. Darcy.
Mr Darcy is at the root of all fuck boy obsessions
“You better have a massive dick to back up that attitude or else people will be mighty disappointed.” “Care to bring out a ruler and test your theory?”
I audibly whispered 'inappropriate' while reading this on the plane
I pull out my phone and call my pilot, wanting to get the hell out of here for a while
Relatable
bright-colored headband, bringing out the warm tones of her brown skin.
This author just loves writing about how things look against brown skin
Before I think to stop myself, I grab my phone and add Zahra’s number to my contacts just in case I do something idiotic like rip up the note.
He rifled through her entire personnel file but didn't take her number? That was his professional boundary?
Who in God’s name uses that many exclamation points? It should be considered illegal.
I feel very attacked!!!
Why does he talk like he was born drinking breast milk out of a porcelain teacup?
Wait, what? What does that mean?
From her vintage attire to her pins, she doesn’t fit into the usual neat category of business professionals I’m used to.
Yeah because creative types are notoriously buttoned down
Declan’s eyes remain focused on his secretary as she places his plastic-wrapped utensils in front of him. And here I was feeling bad about kissing Zahra.
This brother and the secretary will be the story in book 2 I am assuming
squat like I’m not wearing trousers worth an entire month’s rent.
What exactly does such a squat look like?
Scott: Care to share why you have seventeen versions of Pride and Prejudice saved to your Recently Watched list?
They're just so good! It's one of my go to things when I have insomnia
“Until further notice, employees will be expected to work twelve-hour days to increase productivity and creativity.” “Will we receive a pay raise?” someone in the back pipes up. Rowan’s blank stare sends a chill down my spine. “Am I supposed to reward you all for being average?”
Unfair labor practices are so hot
Martha opens the door to my office with one arm. The other trembles as she holds on to the box. I get up and grab the box from her, afraid her wonky ankle might give out and smash the contents before I have a chance to use them.
I bet he starts to see Martha as someone who needs good health insurance at some point, to humanize him
She wanted to feature a new castle for one of the original princesses, but I liked the idea of ditching the cookie-cutter one for Princess Marianna. I changed the classic design into something that matches Mexican culture.
The well known culture and architecture of the Mexican monarchy
Like the stray cat Zahra described, I pass by her cubicle after my meetings with
I guess I missed the earlier stray cat reference, and I usually catch most cat references
Speaking of, today’s offensive dose of serotonin is a ridiculous ghost wearing a sombrero with the saying Ami-Ghost.
It took me way too long to get the joke. It should have said "Hola, Ami-Ghost"
Zahra looks around the room that’s empty besides us four. I could comment on the lack of a turnout but it’s my damn fault.
Yeah he took the flyer, but was that flyer on her cube her only marketing? In a workplace literally the size of a city?
I mean the man still has a subscription to National Geographic magazine and watches Jeopardy! religiously before bed. If
When did we learn this? Am i not paying attention?
Ani suggested bowling as our first group mentorship activity, I agreed wholeheartedly.
How is this work related? Did I miss the mission statement of the mentoring program?
Although he might still be the Burberry-polo-shirt-wearing prep, he’s nice to my sister and her boyfriend. And it makes me feel all sorts of things.
Is there a name for this trope? Being nice to kids/animals/sick/less fortunate folks as a redeeming quality in capitalist villians?
It’s wrong to be attracted to my boss, but it’s despicable to be interested in two guys at the same time.
She must not watch the bachelorette
His hand grazes my arm before circling my wrist like a cuff. He holds on to it with the softest touch that has my heart pounding in my chest and my breathing turning erratic.
Nothing close to Lord St Vincent showing you how to play pool
This random bench at the corner of Dreamland has become our weekly meet-up spot.
If this is "Disney", how are they just meeting up in the park? It literally costs hundreds of dollars and you have to go through a few gates
Zahra smiles. “I like to read.” “For fun?” She ends up throwing her head back and laughing. My whole chest warms at the idea of making her laugh like that, and a little kernel of pride swells within me.
Is it really that funny? Is it just easier to be funny when you are rich and handsome?
Something about Martha working late into the night on a shitty ankle because I don’t pay her enough doesn’t sit right with me. It’s my fault she can’t afford these things.
And his heart grew 3 sizes that day
Plus, I feel guilty about stringing Scott along while becoming more interested in Rowan. You’ll have to pick one eventually.
It's been a minute since I've dated but this seems a bit sudden. She is not officially dating either, and she has not technically met Scott
Our cart pulls into the station. Rowan makes some fancy hand-twirling motion, and our safety harnesses remain locked in place.
Staying on the ride when there's an hour long wait is just rich guy assholery
She has the magnetism of the Bermuda Triangle, and I’m a lost plane desperate to land.
Is this a compliment?
She’s divine with enough wickedness to make a sinner like me want to pray in devotion.
A bit like the Bermuda Triangle you could say
I feel as foolish as motherfucking Mr. Darcy. You’re
You could never be Mr Darcy!
I go to grab my Tums bottle from my blazer’s inner pocket, only to find the damn thing empty. It’s a perfect representation of how I feel now that Zahra’s gone. Nothing but empty.
Sad trombone noise
best kind of vein porn makes my mouth water, and I’m tempted to trace them with my lips.
Eww. Reading the phrase "vein porn" while in a surgical waiting room just hits weird
and I allowed it when Regina treated me poorly because she felt like it.
Who is Regina? I guess I do not pay attention
