for “we could be so good” I feel like I had a more immediate sense throughout the book of who the characters were. I understood their motivations, their internal conflicts I sympathized with them.
I think “you should be so lucky” takes a little bit longer to get there. which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. but it does mean that it takes longer to sell me on the romance since I’m not as invested in the characters.
something that is captured so compellingly in this is
petition for cat sebastian to get better titles though. what the hell is “you should be so lucky” and “we could be so good” i can’t even think of how those phrases even relate to the STORY.
the cat sebastian books that i’ve read so far are always full of so much heart you can almost forgive it for its wrongdoings.
“Maybe Mark is wrong. Maybe this swing will slip away from Eddie, or maybe it will settle into something just above marginal, something good enough but never great. He knows better than to count on good things lasting. But when he watches Eddie—when he sees that stern set of his jaw, and when Eddie flashes a grin toward the bleachers—Mark thinks he’s seeing something that’s for keeps.”
