Status Updates From The Truth According to Ember

DANUWOA, SIR PLEASE!

This book weirdly hits for me, because Corporate America (tm) both confuses and intriques me and Danuwoa is fiiiiine.

danuwoa the man that you are

A romance novel where I don't lowkey hate the love interest? Love that for me

oh my god the lying is actually driving me insane

EMBER STOP LYING CHALLENGE

Ember’s lies are stressing me the F*CK out

Ember, girl, you are so chaotic and i love it

Middle of chapter 22 (dead)

I’m doing the audio but I also checked out a paperback from the library because look at that cover! Somebody understood really well the assignment. I could buy it to just look at it.

I really wanted to like this, but it’s just not for me. Dnf @ 21%

Not sure about this one already. It feels very immature between all of the lying and weird interpersonal reactions. Feels like this chick should be in middle school or High School.

11% in and I’m feeling kinda iffy about this one. Danuwoa is a qt and I’m excited to get to know him better, but ember is a pretty unreliable narrator so far.. but I think that’s intentional.

Might dnf… the constant lies are stressing me out!!!! Also girl go to HR yesterday

Is this YA? The FMC presents very immature.

I’m finding the narrator really hard to tolerate (at least at 1.75x)

Ember please be fr sisssssss what are you doing

johnny depp slander oh i’ve prayed for times like this

I need this book to be done

Ember is already stressing me out!

This book is such a disappointment to me. I might DNF by EOD.


Ember is a lying piece of crap person and I can’t take her character anymore. Yes I’m fully aware that was explained in the synopsis but it’s so much!! It’s just frustrating and annoying.

I’m over her lies at this point. They keep piling on! Not sure if I want to continue….

“I was a notorious overthinker, but it was what I did.” WHERE??? is Ember being an overthinker in the room with us now

“Why was I always being punished for just trying to do the right thing, no matter what fucked-up way I had achieved it?” girly you are in NO position to be pulling the “woe is me” blameless victim card here. You’ve been lying your ass off for increasingly stupid, unnecessary reasons and you are helping Nepo Baby cook the books without even once considering alternatives. take some responsibility babe.

oh and now Danuwoa's having a bitchy fit because Ember is concerned about [checks notes] following company guidelines for inter-office dating so they don't get [checks notes again] yeah, FIRED? classic. classic Stupid Third Act Breakup. they deserve each other, truly.

also how can you not tell that Nepo Baby is using company funds for private purchases. you’re an ACCOUNTANT, account for this! or at least check with Natalie to make sure everything is aboveboard! aaaaaaaahh!!

👀👀 THIS WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT DONUWOA WAS INNOCENT BUT HE AIN’T 🥵🥵

There’s literally no reason to lie about being allergic to Danuwoa’s cat… why would you lie about that… what is the ISSUE here. girl you need to use your thoughts productively once in a while.

“I sat across from them with a hint of a smile on my lips, and his smile mirrored mine.
We shared a dirty little secret. One that couldn't be repeated, but sharing our private rendezvous was a thrill.”

it’s literally not a secret. your colleague JUST told you that your illicit workplace affair is common gossip now. what are you TALKING about

This book is so relatable it hurts
