When she burned the dress.... you better believe I took a moment to meditate on that level of pettiness... I truly hope to achieve it one day. Mae has been holding on to a grudge for too long. In 2nd grade, Molly (October's crush) made fun of Mae in front of others, hurting her badly & October just laughed without knowing that she had heard him. She knew it was childish but the words still stung her and made her cry. After a few chapters, she told him the whole story & he apologized to her for everything. ☺️ With tensions between the two of them as high as ever, it was only right for them to try and relieve some of their pent up energy between the sheets, right?

only reason i’m giving 2 stars is bc i rly loved the after care part & bc they’re pretty cute i guess. Maybe I'll change my rating later once I get enough time to think about it but for now this is how it is. The book felt very rushed at it genuinely had no purpose what so ever. And I also can't get over the weird names he called her.

My Book Notes

So, you could imagine Scarlett Sawyer's surprise when he asked her to go from personal chef to pretend girlfriend on the day of her resignation. This book felt like it barely had any plot until the accidental pregnancy trip that came out of nowhere in the last couple of chapters and keep in mind that is one of least favorite tropes. at the beginning he threw away all the food she cooked him bc she made him so nervous he couldn't eat?? ok this was tiktok scam at its prime, don't know how I had the will to finish this book but I do deserve a medal for it. he shushed her out of the house bc it was coming over her new found sister, whom she thought was her gf/ex and for what??? literally no purpose for this motive

But I do how to say, it's very fast-paced. I was on chapter two last night at like midnight and was able to finish it today at two pm. Scarlett's no became a tentative yes, and somewhere in the midst of their charade, the lines between ruse and reality became blurred.one of my pet peeve is when a newer book is eerily similar to an older book, and this one just felt too much like The Wall of Winnipeg; from the plot, to the characters … it was like getting deja vu. while the book wasn’t entirely the same, i just had a hard time separating the two.
