I love that these novellas were all Kenji's pov. He's such a loveable character and love what he brings to the series.

Holy crap. This was the best book of the series by far. I loved that it included povs from Juliette, Warner, and Kenji, and it made the full story come alive. So many plot points came to light and it was so interesting and well done and exciting.

I love that in LKJ's books the Chinese culture is so clearly represented. I wanted alllllll the chinese pastries since the first chapter! I think the setting/usage of the Chinese zodiacs and compatibility was cute and creative.

“Maybe there is beauty in opening yourself up to the love you don't expect and traits that will keep you guessing. Because compatible or incompatible, we're all just trying to love and be loved, however that might look.”
“Remember, our greatest qualities can also be our most inhibiting.”
“All we can do is act on what we know in this moment in time.”

This one had a cute setting and setup for the characters - wedding objectors?! So fun and kinda funny. But I didn't click to it as much as I thought I would. However, Larry & Rose were so hilarious and made this book so much better.

"The truth is that who gives a flying fuck if you've been hurt in the past? Who cares if you've been cheated on? You have to get hurt to get to the good stuff, don't you see?"
"When you're a baby, you don't stop taking steps jus because you've fallen once, or you'd never walk. The falls help you learn how to walk, for fuck's sake, to make balance and gait adjustments."

Predictable plot but still fun.

" No one ever mentions how much harder everything is once the funeral is over, when everyone else goes back to living their lives and we're stuck here, washing through years of memories and trapped in the relentless grip of grief. "

Fight by Sloane St. James

Oh man this book. Amazing banter, open door scenes, and a wild ride. I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Scottie's background was the most interesting background I've read from a FMC. I cannot wait to read the other two in this series.

“Fire’s the only woman for me. She’s cruel and she’s hot.”
It’s strange how you can have your heart locked up for years, then out of nowhere the right person comes along and it’s like they know the exact combination to open up everything about you and make you want something more.
“Listen to me, you can't save everyone. Sometimes, you can only save one person, and it’s okay if that person is yourself.”
“True love isn’t the same as love at first sight. It’s not your first love. It’s the one you can stand with in a storm. It’s having them see everything you lack and hearing you’re worthy. It’s fighting for them when they don’t know how. It’s the one who lights the darkest parts of your soul on fire so life can bloom again. It’s hearing those three words and truly understanding their meaning.”

From beginning to end this was the perfect romantic comedy. I need this turned into a movie. The friendship was so fun.

Words, I think, are unpredictable creatures.
No gun, no sword, no army or king will ever be more powerful than a sentence. Swords may cut and kill, but words will stab and start, buying themselves in our bones to become corpses we carry into the future, all the time digging and failing to rip their skeletons from our flesh.
Words are like seeds, I think, planted into our hearts at a tender age.
They take root in us as we grow, settling deep into our souls. The good words plant well. They flourish and find homes in our hearts. They build trunks around our spines, steadying us when we're feeling most flimsy; planting our feet firmly when we're feeling most unsure. But the bad words grow poorly. Our trunks infest and spoil until we are hollow and housing interests of others and not our own.
