Those Three Little Words by Meghan Quinn
Did not finish book.
i technically got to just before the epilogue but i was painfully trying to finish it. 3 ⭐
now, i really liked the first half! i laughed, found it cute, liked how it went, but then bam it just changed.
first off, i didn't like her brother at all. im all for brothers being protective etc but this one felt seriously controlling, and the funniest thing was that he wanted to make sure she had someone etc and NOT ONCE did he visit or interact with her for a third of the pregnancy???? like??
secondly, i did like penny to start off with, but with the whole ily buisness i got so annoyed. after eli's whole-ass childhood and emotional trauma and struggles and you get annoyed over him not saying it back? not to mention the fact she walked out the house tons, he legit had abandonment issues and she just 'forgot' like cmon.
the third act was painful, and i could not get through that scene where it felt forced for him to say it back.
the only characters i liked were eli, posey, holmes, first half penny and winnie - and let me tell you, wtf was that drama between her and pacey for????? didn't read their book but run girl.
won't be reading the others but may if there's a posey book who knows.
