“What you have now, it will have to be enough.”

What I would do…
How much I would love to have my very own Adam Carlsen.

“Her own words, thrown back at her. I don’t want to be your friend, she was tempted to say.”

How can she not be honest with him?

“And then, when he walked past her, she had the impression of knuckles brushing against the back of her hand.”

Not the brushing of hands. Ali Hazelwood, you have learned from the likes of Jane Austen, Lisa Kleypas, and Julia Quinn.

“He wiggled his eyebrows, and Olive had to force out a small, unconvincing laugh.”

Don’t wiggle your eyebrows at Olive in a suggestive manner. I don’t like Jeremy.

“At least I’ve never ordered something called a unicorn Frappuccino.”

But I have

“Hey, Dr. Carlsen! Have you put on sunscreen yet?”

Anh is the true jackass. Continuously putting Olive in uncomfortable situations.

“Dude, he just moved a truck. By himself. On uphill ground. He deserves a damn kiss.” Anh shoved Olive and made a shooing motion.”

I quite literally dislike Anh. Terrible friend with zero boundaries.

“He was so tall, her mouth was not quite level with his ear. She could smell him—the woodsiness of his shampoo, his body wash, and something else underneath, dark and good and clean.”

This man was written perfectly.

“Olive licked some whipped cream off her straw. She was puzzled when he immediately looked away from her.”

Not he liked that.

“Adam Carlsen was handsome.”

“Let’s meet at the Starbucks on campus.”

STARBUCKS! I love that for them.

“Have you considered getting a real girlfriend?”
“Have you considered getting a real date?”
“Touché.”
Adam is. Witty!

“and maybe it was because he was as tall as Mount Everest and his shoulders were just as large, but Carlsen was the very first thing she noticed.”

Tall with broad shoulders.😍

“That you are dating Adam Carlsen.”

This was good dialogue. The entire page.

“Olive stiffened. Right. Known ass.”

He wasn’t being an ass.

“The corner of his mouth twitched. Minimally. “Is that so?”

The corner of his mouth TWITCHED minimally… I love how women write.

“Anh was her person. Family.”

“You’re my person.” -Grey’s Anatomy

Ignore my “ The Love Hypothesis” status updates. I’m adding my annotations from my physical copy to my Goodreads JUST IN CASE!!

“He stood in front of Olive, ridiculously intimidating with dark eyes and even darker hair, staring down from who knows how many inches above six feet—he must have been over half a foot taller than she was.”

Sounds dreamy…

“ Because something bad happened. Because I want to do my part so that it won’t happen again.”

I wish I had the drive o research Autism.

Brianna just pissed me off real bad.

“She asked if I’d eat her if she were a gummy bear. I said yes.”

Is Jacob not on your fictional boyfriend list?

“Regards (I’ve always wanted to end a letter with regards—oh, and to get one where someone signs it yours truly and calls me “dearest.” It’s so Mr. Darcy),”

Mr. Darcy. She brought up Mr. Darcy. The fictional love of my life.

A LETTER?! A HANDWRITTEN LETTER?! My heart… my heart…

“I don’t think anyone had ever written me a letter before. It was shockingly effective. Way better than text or email, like it had a different weight to it or something. There’s something about holding the paper in your hand, seeing the ink on the page, the press of the pen. He made this. It took effort. It was a physical act.”

Not you’re considering donating organs for her.

“So it was finally happening. The woman I loved had moved on. She was marrying someone else.
And the someone else was my brother.”

I just read “Only for the Week” and something about marrying your sibling’s ex is so gross to me.

Chapter One complete. The book is dual pov. I am so excited!! This is my first Abby Jimenez book and so far, I love the way she writes!!

“I fall in love with myself and I want someone to share it with me.”
—Eartha Kitt, iconic actress”

I hate to say it, but between Inez, Soledad, Edward and Amber, I wish this book would end.

“I want to know that if I am alone, it doesn’t mean I have to be lonely. That I can be content.”

Made my eye water a little.
