Wende | 1741 comments Gustaf I was in the hospital and listening to Wolfsong and was at the part where his mother did a heroic thing and soap bubbles and I lost it. The nurse comes and had a injection of pain killers for me. 😂😂😂 I took because A. was in a lot of pain and B. I was ashamed I lost it over a book.

Review:
Well shit. This book resonated with me on a whole different level. I was so not ready for it.

This is a sweet story. Declan and Brett are neighbours and they gets off on the wrong foot right from the start, ending up sending each other notes. In the beginning these notes were angry notes but they soon became something else. And let me tell you. I loved the notes. They were hilarious and showed off the Declan's and Brett's personalities perfectly. From there things quickly goes to meeting and then more. The way these guys communicated with each other (ok not always but almost always), was a great change to how these stories usual goes.

But what really blew me away was Declan. I could see myself in so much of him. The way he needed love. The way he got needy in relationships. Well, that was me before I met my husband. The feeling of never being worthy, having guys walking out of your life. Me.
Heck, even being scared of dogs and getting the here's a dog thrown in your face treatment. Me. And look at me now. Crazy dog person.

Massive book hungover is incoming. Read this book though. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

message 171: by Trip (new)

Trip  (shardsofromance) | 2210 comments Im glad your both enjoying this challenge and your books have been great 💕

Mine have been great so far, the one im reading now is over the top, ridiculous and crazy. Fast paced easy reading, bit cringe and 2nd hand embaressment at times 😂

Still making me smile and the romance is fun. I'd be speeding through mine, if not for having to sleep and sadly no time to read during work...


message 172: by Wende (new)

Wende | 1741 comments Laura not working helps me in reading.


message 173: by Trip (last edited Sep 17, 2020 12:19AM) (new)

message 176: by Wende (new)

Wende | 1741 comments Yep! Unfortunately I don't. I forget to. I can't right now because Lisa said not to. Well for books read before September 1. I am going to do it this year


message 177: by Trip (new)

Trip  (shardsofromance) | 2210 comments Aww thats fair, easily done. When i first joined goodreads i forgot so much, so plenty never got posted and the ones that are many don't have complete date as just lost track of when i read them 😂

So i got into the habit of checking and update often, and now i review everything so its automatic for me now xx

Date completed: 09/18/20
Rating: 2.5 stars
Review: ewwww, not the right time for me to read this one. Usually, I'm not at all into this kind of book, but I like LA Witt's writing. It's short, but it's too long. Too much thinking, too many ankward moments. I'll re read it later, when I'll be in a better mood or mind.

We don't get a new task until all of us are finished and post in announcement. The earliest can get new task is 24hours after we got the last one, so we should get ours soon after Emilienne posts.

Since been couple days since we assigned task 2, if that makes sense 😊


message 189: by Wende (new)

Wende | 1741 comments Depends on Kat, Gustaf. When she gives us are new task

Do you mind if I pass?

Gustaf | 1936 comments Ah go for it Laura! Hopefully I'll be able to fit in Vanilla Clouds.

Trip  (shardsofromance) | 2210 comments Of course, no problem! Im happy too, will do now 😊

I just need a break from the sweet stories and I usually go for cheating... for some weird ass reason. The one you read is one of my favorites, however I do agree it could've been shorter.
