I'm fine...I'm completely and totally FINE. What do you mean my voice is high-pitched? I just said I AM FINE,,,
SOMEBODY SEDATE ME!!!
Yes, that is my one and only piece of science knowledge aka a Grey's Anatomy reference because I am a film student for a reason. And whilst I maybe didn't understand allll of the sciency terms in this book, at least read them okay.
Anyway, I will be taking 7-10 working days to recover from this book that made me cry. My fear of rejection definitely did not get put in the spotlight at 11pm last night. Definitely was NOT in my feels.
Goddammit is Ali Hazelwood good at witty writing!!!! She shocks me every time with how effortlessly funny she is, with all the pop culture references and self-deprecating jokes which do things for me that I never expected them to do. She is TOO GOOD AND I LOVE IT.
Ugh I also just always love her academic settings and this one was so. much. fun. Really scratched that academic itch for since I graduated a few months ago. And made me think I did it all wrong and should go back. Maybe I should?
Don't even get me started on Dr freaking Elsie freaking Hannaway and Ali reading me like a book. I DID NOT CONSENT TO THIS ATTACK MISS MA'AM STOP READING MY BRAIN!!!! I mentioned the fear of rejection, right? Maybe I also don't know who I am sometimes? Uh-huh. Yup. Somebody tell me I'm not alone. Cool, moving on.
A moment of silence for the riavls to lovers' chemistry which was seeping off the pages just a lil bit there. And for those asking, I AM STILL NOT OKAY!!!! I am hyperventilating at this point. But yes they can step on me and I wouldn't mind. No, I am not jealous. In fact, I'm happy for them. Yeah, not crying myself to sleep ever again.
Okay, I'll stop being annoying now. Promise. Ahhh it's the way I started reading this book months ago but wasn't into the first few pages so I was like eh you all are wrong. Then I finished the chapter and swiftly changed my mind because GENIUS.
I absolutely loved the fake dating twist, made it all the more fun. The way these two characters slowly opened up to one another was PERFECTION. Jack with his lil heart of gold can just go wait in the other room because I do not want to look at him right now. That man was permanently sexy and I am mad about it.
Whilst I don't think it quite tops Love On The Brain for me. I know, controversial opinion but you all are sleeping on that book. I preferred the ending in that book to this one. But she gets extra points for making me sob into my pillow,,,
If you haven't read this yet, which is unlikely seeing as I am very much more than fashionably late to the party. But in the slim chance that you haven't, do yourself a favour because this rom-com is sure to paste a giant smile on your face and make you shed some tears too. Perfect combo in my opinion <3<3<3
