~made me smile (0,6/0,6) BRO DNDNFNGNG FUCKING YES "ARM PORN" ROSE BESTIE IM WITH YA, ALSO HER KEEPING TRACK OF HOW MANY TIMES HE SMILED :)) AND THE WAY HE WAS SO UNINTENTIONALLY FUNNY AA
~got me hooked in (1/1) I read it in basically one day so yes, and reread it in kne day as well
~bored me (0/-0,2) like i said, i read it in one day so no it didnt bore me, one of my all time favs so ofc no
~writing (0,5/0,5) Ella has a way to show us her characters and her storyline that is just her own and I love it
~made sense (0,6/0,6) it so did like, the plot and the way everything happened was just so amazing
~favorited (0,7/0,7) of fucking course, easily one of my favs
~moved me (0,6/0,6) the fact that I cried 6 times while reading this speaks volumes
during this reread I cried 4 times only cs 2 of the original scenes were in the same scene and I had stopped crying but this time I couldn't idk why
~surprised me (0,5/0,5) yes like I knew jack was keeping something from Rose but I wasn't expecting this like wtf, and also jdnfgngn this is rather stupid but I stg I always pictured Owen with blond hair but as I was re-reading Rose said he had brown hair and I'm like whatttt
~characters (0,5/0,5) Not main characters but Steve, Raymond, Sally and Owen have my whole heart like, number #1 Owen x Sally shipper they so need a book of their own. Plus the way both Steve and Raymond cared for Rose like ugh love them sm. Now onto the babes. Rose Coleson-Hawthorne you are the cutest mf ever, the way I laughed everytime when Rose and Jack were teasing each other. When Rose said to stop pretending I almost screamed like finally you realize it. Now our baby girl Jack Hawthorne, boy oh boy, this man is both so funny and so hot without even trying and he has such a way with words like aaaaa. “I don’t have a home to go back to anymore, Rose.” (...) "You're my home" like ugh I was crying during the whole scene, babes asf
and the way he started to talk to Steve when Rose was gone, I love him sm

my rating: 4,8⭐

~made me smile (0,6/0,6) THAT ONE FIRST SCENE WAS HILARIOUS CBSDHJBCSHV LIKE NFMASJFBDJ FUCKING LOVE IT SFBSH. and also the way hey kept meeting in weird ways in the next couple years hdskvdkvd
~got me hooked in (1/1) yessirr, read it under 24h so yeee
~bored me (-0/-0,2) nop
~writing (0,5/0,5) Ella is pretty much my favourite author, like auto-buy level favourite. i love her books, love her characters, love her writting aaa love her. loved the fact that this is forced proximity shfhjs, also the cover is so fucking pretty like bbsjf
~made sense (0,6/0,6) yupppp
~favorited (0,6/0,7) yes, tho not like the ATF's (all time favourites) but it's my second fav EM book atm (i only have To Love Jason Thorn left to read so yeea)
~moved me (0,5/0,6) i cried a bit when Dylan saw Zoe getting in Mark's car and then when MIA on Zoe. when Zoe told Chris the truth i was so happy like nmzxcnxd and when Chris helped Zoe explain herself to Dylan like jfjsdcnfs, also that whole scene of Zoe and Dylan at the bar had me half giggling half anxious like dsdjfd
~surprised me (0,5/0,5) well, ar the beggining of the book, I, much like Dylan near the end, thougt that Zoe and Mark were a thing, but then Zoe revealed to us that he's her biological father like wtff. also, her mom and mark's relationship was weird asf, it was astonishing to see how down bad that woman was and it was disgusting to see how he took advantage of it. also that whole scene at the library left me speechless
~characters (0,5/0,5) Zoe Clarke, my galll love her sfmm. She's so funny like scsnd miss girl walks in on Dylan with his hand on his cock aftr peeing and goes Be cool. Be cool. This is nothing. Esy peasy I'm never making new friends again. You can do this, just open your eyes and turn around, damnit. like fabfjsdbfjdie, and then a year later she sees him with some friends and turns away just to crash into some students with a model of some house or whatever and break the door, then, a year later she's at the apartment Mark lets her stay at and hears someone come in after she leaves the shower soshe grabs a HAND TOWEL to cover herself and a rolling pin to hit the intruder then she goes at him releasing a war cry and aims for his head but hits his back the towel falls and he sees her boobs jfkdsjfg. fucking love her she's the best dvcdfj. Dylan Reed, i love that the first thing he tells us is The first time Zoe Clarke saw me, my hand was wrapped around my dick. kefnkef. i love the fact that he nicknamed her flash cs she was always disappearing like jnfsjf how cute. also when the neighbour (forgot the name) saw him and zoe together for the first time and was starting to think thet were together and zoe just straight up told her he was gay and he was like what the actual fuck sfnwjfnwej aghhh live laight love DylanZoe. the fact that after zoe told him the truth, him and Chris blackmailed Mark into resigning and then Dylan broke his nose jfncsjnfjfns love it smm. also jfjwbhfbw when they were at the bar and Dylan saw Zoe with her 2 besties and he saw Zoe and Jared dancing and thought they were dating jsnfjsnfwnfsj, and also this quote, On and off the field, you're my hardest fall, Zoe. No one ever compared. No one ever will. Miss Hilda (the neighbour. i remembered her name), she deserved a special props just for taking Zoe in after her and Dylan had a fight, Chris, he also deserved a special props after helping Zoe and Dylan get back together he was rly smooth with it as well like Chris: Did you talk to Dylan? Zoe: No, he blocked me. Why? Did he say something? Did you say something. Chris: It's a good night to go out. Maybe you'd like to have a drinl somewhere. Zoe: I'd love to. Where do you want to meet? Chris: Uh...not with me. I think you should go by your self. and zoe was like At first, I didn't get it, and I felt like crap, but after reading it a few times, my heart started beating faster and i jumped up from the couch, my laptop almost meeting an untimely end. (...) "I think Dylan is back," I shrieked as quietly as possible nfjkdsnagjd like jfsnkdjngd

~made me smile (0,6/0,6) BROO THIS MADE ME SMILE, GIGGLE, LAUGH, GRIN, THE FULL PACKAGE FHFBFB I JUST LOVE THEM SM AND PEPP TOO, HANDS DOWN BEST WJNGMAN
~got me hooked in (1/1) yess, but its an Ella Maise book so that's a given
~bored me (0/-0,2) binge read it so noo
~nice writing (0,5/0,5) i love ella's writting, one of my fav writers
~made sense (0,6/0,6) it did, im a sucker for second chance and workplace romance books and ella managed to portray their relationship really well
~favorited (0,6/0,7) yes tho not like marriage for one, idk there was something missing for it to be an absolute favorite but i still absolutely loved this
~moved me (0,4/0,6) yes, that scene in the end made me cry a bit
~surprised me (0,4/0,5) im general, no, but in some parts ot did like when they went to Around the Corner omg aaaa dying, when kimberly pulled that stunt and stole William's presentation and in the end cs i wasnt expecting William to fly to california for Charlie (tho i should've expected it)
~characters' development (0,5/0,5) lets start with the Davis family (minus Charlie). bunch of cunts, Douglas, grandma whats-her-face and kimberly were a bunch of bitches and the way they treated Charlie made me want to unalive them specially douglas whenever "havent you eaten enough already" or "dont you think you need to loose weight" and kimberly with that jealousy stunt and her stealing williams presentations. now Pepp, Pepperoni Davis-Carter. my boy. my angel. the best wingman there is, love me a good boy. best dog ever. a million times better character than the Davis cunts (not you charlie). Charlie Davis. my girll. love her so muchh such a strong character and the way she put up with her family all these years is proof of that. i also loved the fact that she was so good with kids, and loved her playing with Ivy. she's such a fun character and her humor is also another thing i loved abt her. also the way she reacted to william being jealous elijah eas so funny like ‘You’re not trying hard enough.’ ‘Trying hard enough for what?’ ‘To be alone with me.’ kandjdjf love her. William Carter. MY MANN. love me a boy who's obsessed with his girl. he's such a good character. he's also hilarious and extremely sweet, like, when he left cute and sweet notes on her desk, AAAAAA love that. the way he reacted to Charlie's family on their family dinner was sooo well deserved like fuck that bunch of assholes. THE SCENE WHEN HE INTERRUPTED HER DATE WITH WHATS HIS FACE (RALPH I THINK) WAS SO FUNNY SJDJFND LOVE ME A JEALOUS NOT YET BOYFRIEND BOYFRIEND DNFNFNF. also this man doesnt get to casually drop "you're my inevitable charlie" and expect to not be loved by the me. me thinks not. also loved the fact that he's also attentive, the way he'd bring her lunch when she forgot to eat was so sweet. the fact that he came back for her back then was also really sweet of him.
