on the rainy river is a FIRE chapter; Elroy a G

didn't like how every sentimental moment was ruined by...physical stuff; SpiCe should've been used more sparingly I got really annoyed with them wanting each other aLL the time; the tension (imo) was not built very well? wish it was better developed AND lasted longer; gonna make a quote that I highlighted public that just encapulates all of my feelings about freaking Bethany; anyway 2.5 stars but rounded down to 2

there was so many different plotlines interspersed throughout a pretty short book? there was bethany's sister's wedding, the reality show, the house flip itself, Wes's niece and the whole custody situation, the unstable half-sister literally pick a struggle or just a FEW the plot got so messy trying to balance everything; the quiet moments where they were just talking about their feelings were pretty good but...

rating is based on quality not enjoyment this time because usually I don't mind the details but this time :) not letting it slide; BetHaNy and WeS were pretty compatible but Bethany is so painfully .. not self aware and really annoying; not sure if this was supposed to be enemies to lovers but if it was then it was a very bad attempt; do not like how up-front Wes was with the attraction it was kind of...just a no

Bethany is one of the most infuriating protagonists I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading about :))

many thoughts but will save for the end 😌

too much...too soon

tengo a love hate relationship with how I feel about this guy because he’s super motivated and sometimes cool but he’s also a b*tch; just based on the audiobook itself I think it was interesting and I liked how it was sUPER restaurant based without requiring a ton of prior knowledge v cool; did not inspire me to become a chef but I do want to visit Momofuku now so mission accomplished @David Chang

what a sh*tty dude

wow kinda interesting 😳

I am so glad I'm done with this book :)) it got super repetitive near the end people just kept dying and the doctor was like :(( anyway this rating is subjective because I don't think this book deserves 2 stars objectively but in my PERSONAL experience I did not like this that much so that is what it shall get

ooOo Michelin star weird how he said that he hates pretentious fancy restaurants but literally has one 🥴

dude doesn’t even seem that interested in his own life :/ also all the restaurant lingo is getting lost on me what is carpaccio :(

ahaha parts 1 and 2 were better

I need to search up what the characters do because I still do not remember :|

sloooowww

k I was tired last night so I didn't say anything but the thoughts so far; uh why is it moving so fast? but not really at the same time? it feels like it's going super fast but they're barely in the quarantine stage; I keep forgetting the roles of all of the characters except the doctor Rieux whose name I searched up for pronunciation (it's ree-ooh)

very sorry but I just can’t deal with this dnf at page 18 I don’t have the energy :)

kind of sucked but didn’t at the same time because I’m a sl*t for romance; h8 all of the characters they were badly developed and the romance progression was not subtle; tried very hard to be funny and succeeded a LITTLE bit but with 3 jokes a page it’s hard to miss all of them; very average and forgettable but the last quarter was kind of nice :)

Falling in love?? CRINGE

People don’t just buy a bunch of PlayStations?? ://// please no

starting something SUPER light to get over the post WBBA depression :)

4.5 stars :)

wow I'm gonna think about this book for the rest of the month (year?); I am very depressed now; prose goes crazy; wow just really good will be revisiting the quotes often

saw the word asynchronous and my brain just exploded
