*gets whiplash from abrupt ending*

what the shi-

*checks to make sure book isn't missing parts*

that's how it ends???



uuuuggggghhhhhhh.

and here i was, actually enjoying this.

When I sat upright, my head whooshed. The car cabin tilted, and I steadied myself by grabbing something stationary.

That something was Nate’s hand.



how exactly does this work???

“Next time, answer when I call you!” He barked when I came out the back door. If he’d screamed my name a third time, that meant full-on angry-Korean-dad escalation. Added chores. A grounding or two. More yelling. Threats of kicking me out of the house. In other words, the usual.

i'm only laughing so i don't cry from how relatable this is.
too relatable.
way too relatable.

There was only one thing running through my head: KATE Kate KATE Kate KATE Kate KATE Kate KATE Kate KATE Kate KATE Kate KATE Kate KATE Kate KATE Kate KATE Kate.

No inscription, just a generic chocolate cake with mint-chip ice cream, which was my dad’s favorite, not mine. I hated artificial mint; it reminded me of toothpaste.
