I agree.

“The FBI should hire more women. We’re natural investigators. It’s on his Instagram. And it’s definitely him, I see the billboard. I’ll send you the link.”

Yeah… this is Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Except “Kelsey” got her Masters.

“Peter accidentally—we had an incident with a broken window and . . . I just need to get Briar out of the house.”

Domestic violence?

“It was almost astonishing that Emira’s daily babysitting job (a place of pricey onesies, colorful stacking toys, baby wipes, and sectioned dinner plates) could interrupt her current nighttime state (loud music, bodycon dresses, lip liner, and red Solo cups).”

That’s actually inconsiderate and weird.

So… does Nic love Sloan or something? Kind of like the other book I read “On,y for the Week.”

Ehhhhhhh…

Kelsey, not once did Declan say he agreed to your fake dating.

“Imagine if we got to actually meet Kelsey? Oh my gawd. You should make a Bestie bracelet and put your number on it and give it to her. Like, what if you two went out? She’s single right now, you know?”

🙄so this is Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce?

“I knew how I was dealing with it. The same way I dealt with everything else. I scowled.
I didn’t mean to, it was just my... face. Jules called it my resting bitch face. It scared quarterbacks around the world. What it had Kelsey and her crew doing was not what I expected. Half of them giggled like little schoolgirls, and the other half awwed as if my scowl was the cutest fucking thing they’d ever seen.”

Oh nothing. I miss “ Yours Truly” by Abby Jimenez real bad.

“And anyway, we sort of have to. Doug bet me a hundred bucks that we wouldn’t live happily ever after.”

I love that this is the running joke.

I’m so glad that Liz finally left Jake. And I, glad Daniel raised enough money to buy Grant House!

“Imagine never seeing your parents again because you fell in love with someone,”

Ghetto

“Jake was putting hands on her. Again.”

Jake is just as disgusting as Neil.

“I heard shuffling. Then a picture message came through. I zoomed in. “Your main breaker is flipped off.”
She went silent on the other end for a long moment. “How does that happen?”
“t doesn’t. If you overload one circuit a breaker might flip. But that would be one part of the house, not the whole thing.”

Neil is the worst kind of human.

“I didn’t hang up with her later either.
We talked for five hours straight.”

He’s a reader and he likes talking on the phone. And he’s a carpenter. Why do women write men SO WELL?

“The town! It’ll get ’er back! It picks who it wants. I’ve known every lifer going back ninety-six years. I know one when I see one. Your grandparents, you, Doug, Doreen. Not your mama. I knew it the moment she came into the world, she weren’t for here. The town knew it too, let her leave.”

Why am I getting… Gilmore Girls? Stars Hollow, is that you?

“I was a Montgomery.
A Montgomery had worked at Royaume Northwestern Hospital since the day it was built in 1897. I came from a family of legendary doctors who made huge strides in medical advancements over the decades. They were powerful philanthropists who made possible the bulk of the programs and clinical trials that Royaume was famous for.”

It’s giving, “ My son is a Cartwright.”

“This actually did make me laugh, which made him laugh—and it was adorable. His warm golden-green eyes creased at the corners and it lit his whole face.
God, he had a nice smile. Really nice. Something about it darted me right in the heart, took a little of my breath away.”

Abby… such good writing.

“Bennie and the Jets” blared from an old jukebox against the wall.”

I love that song!
27 Dresses

“I think I’m more in the mood for Golden Girls summer…”

That!!

“Twelve Steps to Reunite Soul Mates’—which, by the way, involved multiple Jane Austen quotes. Not sure if that was Libby or Dad. But what I’m getting at is, they made some compelling points.”

Love that!💕

“The learning curve is brutal, but after so many years of knowing exactly how to do my job, the challenge is exhilarating. I comb through each of my newly inherited authors’ manuscripts like an archaeologist at a newly discovered dig site.”

Perfect writing.

“His job. His apartment. Like he’s just handing over the life he’s worked so hard for, wholesale. Giving up the city where he belongs. Where he feels like himself. Where he doesn’t feel wrong or useless.”

I NEED HIS POV

“We’re going to do this right. No shortcuts.”

Period, Charlie!
Slow burn.

Nora’s character is actually upsetting me

“I think we might be good together, Stephens.”

💕

“Another “universal truth” Austen could’ve started Pride and Prejudice with: When you tell yourself not to think about something, it will be all that you can think about.”

I’m glad Jane Austen was acknowledged.

“Also, ‘running’ implies speed. I had to go to community college for a couple years here, work construction with my dad to save up so I could transfer in my junior year.”

New fictional crush.

“I was slightly disappointed when my first serious girlfriend didn’t have three consecutive orgasms, but otherwise okay.”

Hilarious!
