How do I know this is a good book? Because I annotated it. Twice. As a rule, I typically do not annotate contemporary books, I don't need to. Annotations are to help track my thoughts and connect the dots so I am less confused and overwhelmed by fantasy books. But there were two very important scenes that I felt the need to annotate in this book, a contemporary, because they struck a chord in me. Oddly enough, neither annotation was for one of the two main characters.
One was for Redford who, after the third act break up where Dani is being comforted by sisters, comes home to Chloe's apartment and says “If the guy I’m supposed to kill is that big fucker from the video,
we’ll need an airtight plan.” Obviously very dedicated to his significant other's family and I love that and I love how serious he seems about it.
The second was for Jamal, who is dating Zaf's sister-in-law through his late brother and when talking about proposing he says “What kind of ring do you get a woman like that? Plus, it has to match the first one.” Some guys might expect her to take off the ring from her first husband, but he doesn't even question that she'll keep it on and that he will find one to match it. Perfect man.
