(view spoiler)[I thought he was giving her a drive so that she couldn't go home: he was so sure she wouldn't have a date and then she would have to admit she has lied. Am I the only one who understood this like that? :D So I didn't feel for him, because he had to think he was wrong, ha! XD (hide spoiler)]

LOL no it wouldn't have been ;)

Chapter 2
(view spoiler)[ Okay I already like this. Lucy is obviously already in love with him lol. Seriously, I read one chapter, but I already really like their banter! Can't wait to see where this will go, since I don't remember the blurb about the book haha (hide spoiler)]

Danique wrote: "Chapter 2

(view spoiler)[LOL Right!?!? The blurb really doesn't do this book much justice, to be honest. (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[Nothing special happened, but they made peace (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Chapter 4
(view spoiler)[ Lucy is a bit.. Intense, isn't she?:P I feel like she does everything with a bit too much enthousiasm, but maybe it's just me lol. And she collects smurfs? That's a bit odd hahah
I just feel like she's a bit childish at moments, but maybe that feeling will go away. (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Chapter 7
(view spoiler)[ They kissed! Man, that was intense!
So I have this theory that the X's etc. that he puts in his planner are actually about Lucy (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[ My oh my! So many has happend, I still don’t understand how she became that sick all of the sudden, but I love Josh! Can’t wait to see how this new ‘game’ will go, but I am certain her kiss with Danny won't be as good ;) (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Chapter 20 I really need to sleep now since it’s 2 in the morning but oh well
(view spoiler)[ I’m really enjoying the story! The romance is so slow burn, I like it! Can’t wait for them to get together aaah (hide spoiler)]

Danique wrote: "Chapter 4
..."

(view spoiler)[She is! I really think she's a bit of a caricature, but that's what made this novel so much fun for me, the extremely out of this world moments at some places! And i don't know if she gets less childish through the book, so hope you don't hate her by the end of this (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha (semi-hiatus)]

(view spoiler)[That's a good theory! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha (semi-hiatus)]

Danique wrote: "Chapter 13
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I mostly just thought that she caught a bug or something, the quick and horrible type, an that's why she felt better in three-four days (hide spoiler)]

Yay! Glad you're loving it!!

Chapter 9
(view spoiler)[I was so sure this wouldn't for me and here I'm laughing and enjoying. I laughed when I read paintball war -scene :D (hide spoiler)]

Johanna wrote: "Chapter 9
[spoilers removed]"

That's one of my favourites!! (view spoiler)[Lucy's caricature-ness really starts to grow on you, her narration is very funny! And I don't know about you, but I love sick-fic like scenes, because delirious confessions are my favourite kind, so her keeping on saying what she shouldn't have becomes very entertaining! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Oh yes, that's so true, haha. It's always fun when someone makes delirious confessions :D :D (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 10
(view spoiler)[Okay so we got more information about Josh: his ex-girlfriend is marrying his brother. I understand Josh better now. (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 11
(view spoiler)[Now she knows that Josh sent those roses! (hide spoiler)]

Omg rereading this just makes me feel so bad for Josh like he's such a good guy but Lucy is just stubborn af. Dude looks after her all day and night and even calls in his ..."

(view spoiler)[Maybe not two steps back because Lucy has now realised that she doesn't hate Josh and she knows what Josh has done for her. So the situation seems quite promising :) (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Trisha wrote: "Danique wrote: "Chapter 7

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[But I feel it's clear they have something to do with Lucy because even she knows he do some marks after their arguments. So that made me immediately to think that all the marks has something to do with Lucy. But what??!! (hide spoiler)]

[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Yeah that’s true! But I thought something like; everytime I look at her lips I place an X etc! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Haha, I had similar thoughts but I can be sooo wrong xD (hide spoiler)]

Can't wait to find out haha!

[Danique]

Trisha wrote: "Danique wrote: "Chapter 4

[spoilers removed]"

I agree! (view spoiler)[ I first thought it would bother me, but it really makes some funny moments! I really like her :) (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Trisha wrote: "Danique wrote: "Chapter 13

[spoilers removed]"

Ah yeah probably, it was a bit random but made for a really funny scene nonetheless

[Danique]

Chapter 25
(view spoiler)[ Ah, so Mindy was his ex! I'm hoping this was their low and that there won't be another one, but I feel like the promotion scenario will probably be a reason for a 'break-up' or something :( I still think Josh has something planned which will make it possible for both of them to stay there, idk. I feel like they'll end up being CEO's instead of Berkley and Hannah! (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Finished!
(view spoiler)[ I really loved that ending, it was so cute!! I am really glad of how everything turned out and I honestly want another book :) (hide spoiler)]

[Danique]

Trisha wrote: "Finished
[spoilers removed]Hope you all enjoy it too!"

(view spoiler)[ I didn't realise the wall thing either!! I loved her being mean to his father as well, it was nice to see someone stand up for him. Sigh, Josh really is dreamy. (hide spoiler)]

Danique wrote: "Chapter 25

You think so much like me! (view spoiler)[.Any time I start a romance, I try to figure out what their angsty part will be, for this it was the Mindy thing! (hide spoiler)]

There's a short epilogue for this, I think you could find it online, it was available in the end of 99percent mine, Thorne's second novel! Also, I'm so happy you loved it!

Do read it if you can, I really enjoyed the tie-up!

[Johanna]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[I enjoy sooo much, haha. And I was so sceptical about this book. And now I find me reading this with pleasure :D I want to know what will happen on the date with Danny :D (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 13
(view spoiler)[It ended like we knew it would. I like Josh, but I would love to see more non-psychical attraction. (hide spoiler)]

Haha, yes that's true. You usually feel something before you really become sick.

Johanna wrote: "Chapter 12

(view spoiler)[Right!??! You expect to hate this 'quirky' character, but she really grows on you with her ridiculousness! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha (semi-hiatus)]

Johanna wrote: "Chapter 13
[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Hmm, you have a point, I have the same thoughts when I read a romance, and I really can't even remember if there was a lot of emotional attraction, but I think there was? Honestly I was just so caught up in reliving it, I might have not given it the third degree like I do to everything else these days :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 14
(view spoiler)[It really seems there is also something emotional, because Josh has too home her post-it note with her kiss on it. And how he gave her only tea when she visited his apartment first time. I'm sure Josh has some new work related meeting and that's the reason he is one day away from the office. (hide spoiler)]

[Johanna]

Chapter 15
(view spoiler)[It was so sweet scene when they both tried to drive to Josh's home as fast as possible, so that they could see each other <3 (hide spoiler)]

Yes, That's what I loved about this!
