My thoughts while reading: Well, fuck another book that’s gotten me tearing up.

I swear if there isn’t a twist at the end where the editor isn’t dead but is just in a coma I’m gonna be pissed.

Also, fuck Lee the thing he did is one of my biggest fears as a writer. I Love Mayor 10/10 best boy. What’s with people's fascination with big hands? Like seriously why? Also, the climbing him like a tree comment. I could never answer the question of who my book boyfriend was but Ben might fit that for me. I just love Florence’s family I feel like I could easily fit in and breathe. Smiles all around because of this man. This is 100% going to be my first 5-star romance of the year and possibly the only one of the year. This low-key made me believe in love again. I didn’t think I lost my belief in it until I read this and shit. Blinking away tears constantly and need to go out and buy a physical copy. I don’t care for sex scenes so I was kind of happy that there was only kind of one and the… I honestly don’t know how to describe it. But, it not actually being physical and it just being Ben telling Florence what he wanted to do didn’t bother me. Called the twist. Happy tears.
