This book has got me kicking my feet giggling and twirling my hair.
I NEED A AARON BLACKFORD IN MY LIFE.
I LOVE AARON AND CATALINA and really everyone.
SPOILERS AHEAD
I lied Gerald and Daniel are asses.
The line that everyone raves over “I’ll give you the world. The moon. The fucking stars. Anything you ask, it’s yours. I’m yours.” Like Catalina how were you gonna let that man go. He’s been in love with you since the moment he saw you like girl bffr.
That like give you the you “wish this was you” feeling.
Her comparison to his being Clark Kent really helped me visualize him (I struggle to visualize book characters I def look up their names on Pinterest for help)
CATALINA IS A IDIOT. I feel like at least 97% of the time it is extremely obvious Aaron is IN LOVE WITH HER.
That fact that we NEVER meet Daniels fiancé suses me the hell out. I like 🤨 sir does what’s her face even exist for actual or are you a liar.
It took me so long to finish because the auctioning off the guys scene with Patrick made me put down the book and walk away for at least a day because I was SO STRESSED.
Okay actual review time so
- This is a for real for real slow burn like I mean the romance didn’t really start until around page 292 out of a 437 page book and even then she’s tipsy and is still questioning if it’s real or just pretend.
- office romance (including the struggles with possible judgement and criticism)
- At this point (1047 pm dec 14th) I genuinely CAN NOT think of a complaint about this book.
Am currently ordering The American Roomate Experiment, Rosie and Lucas book. Because I am just so excited.
