“Isabel took the cash and Andy handed him a string of the ubiquitous red tickets.”

Ubiquitous

I do like the vocabulary used by Laurie

This book isn’t moving nearly as fast as the first one.

“Annie said he had the hots for her, but Hazel knew that was absurd. No one, not even her handful of ex-boyfriends, had had the hots for her. Hazel was cute. She could admit that. Cute in like a koala-napping-in-a-tree kinda way. Not cute in a I-want-to-get-in-her-pants kinda way. And that was fine. She’d made her peace with it.”

Know the feeling, get told otherwise though.

Was not expecting Hazel to be 30 or a Libra

I’m sorry. But if he says “You don’t have to,” sir then I’m not!! Cause I’m glad you knew. More points for you.

I haaaaaaaaate miscommunication and assumptions. Especially after they just spent the night hunching.

“The goats, Dylan and Marley, or the Bobs as his nana liked to call them, stared at him forlornly like they knew the sign meant the end of their donut days.”

Soooooooo corny

I wonder if I can finish this book tonight.

I don’t know. Their interactions are cute. Logan read Jeanie and me for filth, but that’s neither here nor there.

I hate the alpaca’s name is Harry Styles. Loathe actually.

If he wanted to, he would. Plus Logan is paying attention to little things that she needs. Love that.

Poor Logan.

Well… it’s written third person, but I’m guessing it’s dual pov. Ehhh…

“She hadn’t slept in three nights. Not since moving into the apartment above her aunt’s café. Well, her café, technically. Jeanie was officially the new owner of The Pumpkin Spice Café, her Aunt Dot’s pride and joy…”

Already Luke’s from Gilmore Girls.

Dieu, aide-moi

WHY DO WE WRITE MEN LIKE THIS WHEN THEY HAVE NOT PROVEN TO EXIST?! OH MY GOSH I HAAAAATE THE FEMALE MIND AND WANT OF A MAN OF THIS CALIBER!!

I want an all-consuming love. Not one that suffocates, but one that makes me so thankful that my chest feels physically overwhelmed with emotion. To have this silent, unspoken communication with a person through touch and gazes. I want to be noticed in a crowded room. I want to be the only person in a crowded room. I want to be wanted, truly wanted, and desired.

He’s baking your favorite cake.

Spill the beans already

“How did he remember that I used to rewatch Audrey Hepburn films when I needed inspiration? This was the same person who forgot his locker combination every day, and it never changed, but he somehow remembered this.”

Girl same

Sometimes I think I’m an enigma, then book characters are created to remind me I’m a normal mortal with the same interests as everyone else. I hate it here.

“He got detention Dani because I punched him.”

Their lack of communicating feelings and emotions is tiring.

“He always had this overwhelming respect for literature. But it made me question his interest in the journalist position with The New York Times. If he was dedicating all this time to becoming a teacher, then why would this position matter so much to him?”

Possibly as conflicted as the characters.

“He was beaming warm light that a summer night sunset couldn’t have even crafted.”

Sentences like this pique my interests in the book. I’m conflicted.

“It’s Reading Jane Austen, so I’ve been trying to read her entire work to have a broader perspective on the themes and voice that aren’t solely Pride & Prejudice, ya know?”

In every romance book I’ve read involving Austen, I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Why is this book mentioning Janey giving me “he’s a womanizer” vibes?

Her mom and aunt don’t make it any better

Jia’s a little rough, but honest.

Daniella?s going to end up heartbroken. The unrequited love to fake dating scenario is an agonizing experience.

“Ten minutes later, he broke my heart. And I didn’t see him for four years.”

What he say? You were already crying.

Ummmmm so what’s going to happen to Xander and the mom? I’m not understanding

It’s still weird they call themselves Cowgirls

“You're cute. Don't hurry. I've got my Kindle.”
