Wild for spilling butter beer on a kid’s shoes

“No, that can’t possibly be it. I don’t smile, especially during the holiday season, when tacky garlands are worn like scarves. And especially not this season, when Nola could be around every corner.”

Precisely

“Because Caleb is up ahead, and I don’t want him to see me. Now just be cool, Grandma.”

IS YOU COOL??

“That ship sailed many years ago, when I messed up the one good thing in my life. So, if anyone is listening, if anyone wants to offer some temporary relief from this cheerful and uplifting merriment, also known as my own personal purgatory, it would be most appreciated.”

I get it. I’d love for my favorite situationship to be serious.

“And most importantly, why must your devoted admirers—in their ugly Christmas sweaters with their fresh-from-the-oven, poorly decorated gingerbread men—follow me around town asking who I’ll be kissing under the mistletoe this year?”

Noboooodyyyyyy

“It’s November and I’ve sold Sunrise to Purview Pictures for $750,000. Martin has signed on as director, and they’re starting casting soon. I ask Jackie if I can cash my check and not have anything more to do with the film. I have the right to be on set, which they tell me will be in Mississippi, but I have no intention of going.”

Period Mississippi

I’m irritated that Leo ghosted her.

If he doesn’t make it to Arthur’s play, I’ll be pissed.

Is Leo really going to make it beyond the play? I’d hate to hate him. Is Ben going to show up? What about Vicky?! Cause ain’t no way she left her panties in that man’s car.

I don’t know. I, not sold on the book yet. I guess I’m still confused.

A bricked tea house but clapboard main house? Priorities

Email him? Boy!!!

“So, Holly. Have you really chosen to write romance when you don’t actually believe in one of its biggest tenets? The attraction between two people is imperative. If this is how you feel, you should consider a new genre.”

“Are you serious? That man dated you for eight years. And now is engaged . . .”

EXACTLY! Makes absolutely no sense!!

“The couple who were so different on paper—he with his multiplying coffeepots, she with her love of old books and dictator-like demand for obedience—unable to ever fully cross the other off the list. Unable to fully and truly take the other’s name off the electric bill. To blot them from their address book. And instead to find themselves in the evenings suddenly in the driveway of the other’s home.”

Ferris gives me the ick. No y’all ain’t doing no hunching!! Leave Savannah alone!

“Will Pennington sidling up to me, not anyone else, after the meeting adjourns. Will Pennington’s playful smile. Will Pennington’s resilient, authoritative air when he makes decisions for the greater good. Will Pennington’s banter.
And his words.”

Do we all love Will Pennington?

I love a book about book lovers!🥰

“Was I full of throw-your-computer-out-the-window blind fury at the discovery that, after he civilly broke it off with me one evening in my bedroom, he declared his undying affection for my sister twenty-four hours later in hers?”

Absolutely ain’t no way!! Where were the parents?! HATE Ferris & Olivia.

She’s upset, but I love annotations. Meet me in the margins, literally.

“Ferris is my ex-boyfriend.
Ferris is Olivia’s fiancé.”

And just like that, I hate Ferris and Olivia. Since reading “Little Women” in the 6th grade I’ve NEVER understood how a man can like sisters. Laurie sat up there and proposed to Jo, got turned down, then later on marries Amy!! I just don’t like nothing about that. HATE reading about it “Only for the Week.”

“There is no doubt about it.

William Pennington knows.”

Knows what?

Not nepotism and shade

“You left me secret book messages.”

NOAH IS ABOUT TO DECLARE HIS LOVE FOR HAZEL THROUGH LINES AND PASSAGES AND DEFINITIONS IN BOOKS!!!!

I haaaaaaate it here!

Insert me in a romance novel, Lord!! I’m so tired of not falling in love!

His “Happy to help” blows me. Whyyyyyyy must we not say the words that are unsaid? Say the words! Say the words!

“In a week of firsts, Hazel added one more and swallowed.”

Baby, I just cannot. Too brown for me.

Is Noah the one who’s been highlighting the books?

Oh so Little Freak by Harry Styles must go with this chapter of the book?

“You know her drink order.”

Oh, to be known is to be loved!
