“That is, until Stevie releases the headboard, takes my hand from her tit and instead, guides it to her throat.”

SHIT. 😳

“But when you decide to stop lying to yourself, you’re going to have to beg me to fuck you...”

I stay silent, completely frozen in this moment.

“On your knees.”

😳 I see.

“You like what you see, Stevie?”

“Yes,” I state in a daze. “What? No. Absolutely not.”

Love me some rom-com moments. 🥰

“That’s when the panic attacks started. That’s when the anger started. That’s when the constant reminder that no one loved me started. That’s when I realized no one had ever loved me enough to stick around.”

🥺 Poor Zee.

“That’s what therapy has taught me—to love myself. And I do. Unapologetically and without question, I love myself. Someone’s got to.”

Aweeee. 🥺

“This is the best job,” Indy adds, her stare still locked on the half-naked men.

“I love hockey,” I decide without a second thought.

SAME.

“Simultaneously, every one of the suited-up hockey players stands from their seats and begins to strip down until the only thing that’s covered is their junk.”

On my way to sign up to be a flight attendant for an ice hockey team. 🏃‍♀️

“I choose you,” Bodie said.

KATE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS DOING WRITING THIS LINE.

“Somehow what my brain caught on was “kick you off the Daily.” Like all great female journalists who’d sunk their teeth into a forbidden story about a wealthy and well-connected man behaving badly, we were being shot down. Reprimanded. Exiled.”

Bodie sat back and looked at me, the oddest smile on his face.

“What?” I demanded, cheeks burning. He shook his head.

“You’re just so fucking good at this. This is, like, James Bond shit.”

This reminds me of someone and I am SO HERE FOR IT. 😭

Might be stopping here of the night and in case I do, here’s my update.

Officially halfway and Y’ALL, IT’S GOOD. And I am so ready for the romance subplot to REALLY begin. 🥹

“I just—sometimes I hate that you’re a journalist.”

What do you mean? 🌚

“Take my jacket.” Bodie held it out like an overpriced, waterproof olive branch. More softly, he added: “Please.”

Nice college boys. >>>>>>>>

“There was just a small collection of rudimentary sunflowers scattered across the bottom of an otherwise blank page of his notebook.”

Leave it to Kate to write college boys this sweet. 😭

Managed to pass the quarter mark and things are only getting started. 🥰

Wanted to try to get into a quarter tonight but I don’t think I can make it, so we’re stopping here.

Y’ALL, THIS IS SO GOOD SO FAR. It had no right to be this good. 😭 I honestly think I’ll be flying through this book. 😚

“I watched him sprint off to catch up with a group of his teammates on their way to the locker room and wondered why boys thought it was funny to say wildly inappropriate things to girls just to make them uncomfortable.”

EXACTLY.

“Or, the part me that’d chugged half a Natty Light proposed, maybe he saw me walking with Andre and recognized me from the elevator.”

The hopeless romantic in me will think the same thing. 😭

“Aren’t you glad you didn’t close the doors on me?” he asked. And then he winked.

NOT ME FREAKING OUT. 😭 I already know I’m gonna be OBSESSED with him.

“I don’t like the idea that Garrett’s best friend might have feelings for me, but Logan hasn’t tried to make a move on me, and he sure as hell hasn’t talked to me about it, so that’s a relief, I guess.”

Why even include this isn’t he first place? It’s so irrelevant. 😭 Even if this is to set up for his story, which is the next book in the series, WE DON’T NEED IT.

“There’s no one better than him. Garrett is the best man I’ve ever known.”

Of course he is when all you know are red flags. 😭 He just happens to be the one with the lightest colour of red.

Why isn’t this book over yet? And why are you pulling all this shit when there’s less than 50 pages left. 😭

Of course they’re pulling this type of third-act breakup scene. 🫠

This book is so LONG. 😭 I feel like I’ve been reading it for forever.
