Deepa’s Reviews > The Score: A Friends to Lovers, Fake Marriage Sports Romance > Status Update

A lot more serious than I expected. But love Bear. Love the guys intervention. I love them for saying you don’t have to tell us but maybe you should tell her. I love Damian recalling how much he and Nat hated everyone’s introspection about them.

"You know you can tell us to shut it, right?" Nat laughs. "You don't have to entertain our curiosity."

I love this wording. I also love that you can feel okay with someone’s ribbing but if it’s a real friendship it shouldn’t be offensive to tell them to cut it out too.

"You're asking me for more." I gulp. "Meanwhile, I want to give you everything."

I love that it’s included why women don’t feel flattered by their male friends’ interest in them : that it feels like betrayal or rather they only pretended to like you as a friend to one day pursue you

I don’t know how unhappy her doomed feelings made her. Maybe it’s just one of many thoughts.

I think the panic about the other wife bugs me. The denial ofc.

Their new SO is just a packaged deal. I’m okay with it because one day I could have SO of mine. I want that person they belong too. In this situation Pen doesn’t believe that someone could be out there for her.

She has doomed feelings about this and his other wife.

Bear I understand. He has good reasons in my book. His denial comes from a place that is respectful and maybe even little hurt. But PEN!!! I really struggle with Pen’s inner thoughts. I get her logic. The idea that she is going to lose him one day when he gets a wife is such a big part of her thoughts. They’re very involved in each other’s life. idk her view that there is no one out there for her dunno

Are we not going to raise an eyebrow for Bear dating a woman very similar to Pen?

Every single mention of Dom and Mariana. The mysterious ex wife that the player of the gang never talks about. Oh how freaking good. And the sister…what’s going on there.

Couples that watch Bones together — this is becoming a thing. I feel like a lot of people are mentioning this recently. This got me thinking was it really that good.

And then I remembered — I think it might have been at least the wait was . Booth. I loved Booth. Charming. Charming man.

Bear being the one who yearns and loves romance. Actually doesn’t down play what romance means for him.
