Back to this after some days of new books reading slump. Let's see if I’m in the right mood.

This last week I’ve been in a, not a reading slump exactly, but a reading new books slump. I have done a reread of a favorite one, maybe this coming week I will feel like getting back to my reading list.

I've read warnings and reviews, ready to try it. But I'm a bit worried.

I'm going so slowly. I go back and reread each paragraph like 5 times because this book is so good.

You messed up Rip. Hit at the heart of her childhood trauma with "leave me alone". You gotta grovel.

Enough was enough. I was over it—those words, getting shoved aside by all these people I cared about, being made to feel dispensable.
[.]
he could have said just about anything else to me that wouldn’t hurt half as bad.
[.]
I was fed up with being lied to. Fed up with being kicked aside, over and over again.

“You kill me, girl,” he murmured in the roughest voice I’d ever heard. “I swear to God, you’re a fucking puzzle I thought was all in the box, but every damn day I find a piece or two hidden all over the place.”
[...]
"Yeah. Coming back was the best thing I ever did.”

Luna that man couldn't be more in love with you if he tried.
P.S. This is a five stars I think

“Does this mean… Boss, are we friends? Outside of work, of course.”
[...]
Me and Rip.
Friends.
I’d take it. I’d take it every day of the year, forever.

I mean, he's totally in love with you and you have a big crush on him on its way to become love, but sure Luna, let's say friends🤭

You tell me if there’s something I can do. You’re not alone, you hear me?”
I pressed my lips together and nodded. But he wasn’t done. “You’re not, Luna, and I gotta tell you, you don’t need to be letting anybody run all over you or try to get away with shit—”
“I don’t do that,” I cut in.
“All I’m saying is, you don’t have to take shit, and you need to quit believing you do.”

"I don’t wanna be sixty when you decide.”
I pressed my lips together. Don’t do it, Luna. Let it go. Let it—
I didn’t. “So I have… two years… before then?”
“I should’ve fired you the other day.”
I sucked in a breath, and my entire upper body turned to him.
He was smirking. He thought he was being funny. He was… joking.

🤣​🤣​

God! Why is Luna’s sister so cruel? I hope there is a damn good explanation for her behaviour! And Luna is a better person than me because I would most definitely hold a grudge.

And thank you Ripley for being great

Ok, even for MZ's standard the start was really slow, but I'm very interested.

Also, life truths
I had learned valuable lessons from each screwup in my life.
Don’t waste your time expecting people to change, and if you think you might be starting your period, don’t risk it and leave your house without a tampon.

This is exactly what I wanted, a nice story, sweet, entertaining and with crazy chemistry.

Liking it a lot so far. And Reed and his daughter are adorable!

MZ books are a constant source of life truths.
I especially felt this one

“My best friend, Luna, told me once that everyone has a threshold for what they’re willing to forgive. That you can forgive someone but never forget what they said, and you shouldn’t."

I want to be more than your friend. I want to be more than any other friend you’ve ever had before or ever will.

Lenny and Grandpa Gus crack me up 😂​
“Do I need to start looking up homes for people with memory impairments?”
“After everything I’ve done for you….”
“Just kidding. With your vampire DNA, you’re probably done aging for the next ten years.”
“I’m thinking fifteen.”

I love Lenny

If I could take the exchange back, I wouldn’t. She’d been a bitch and so had I, but what was I going to do? Bend over and take it?
Yeah fucking right.

Love the way MZ manages to make you really FEEL the story and the characters

P. S. Grandpa Gus is the best

this is so addictive!!
