All throughout I was waiting for Caroline to grow a backbone. She herself said that she is spineless and weak, and I love me a self-aware FMC because it just makes their character development all the more sweet and satisfying.... Joke's on me, shouldn't have expected any development because she remained the no self-respect pathetic pussy that she is.
I also implore authors to not say their characters are grumpy because it is almost always just a cover up to make them a cruel indecisive characters....more
**spoiler alert** I have been in my weekly slump lately and maybe that is why I liked this book when normally I would hate it lol. I will reread this **spoiler alert** I have been in my weekly slump lately and maybe that is why I liked this book when normally I would hate it lol. I will reread this down the line when I'm normal again.
The background is that 7yrs ago, Eden was new to town because her family just moved in, before school starts, Eden met Cole in what would become their secret spot in the future, and formed a connection. Unbeknownst to Eden, Cole also goes to the same school as her and currently in a breakup with his girlfriend who he is planning to get back together because said gf was begging for it. Eden became friends with Hillary and then she met Cole again, this is where she found out that Cole is Hillary's boyfriend. Drama ensues, as well as emotional cheating and honestly I felt bad for Hillary because she really is just a sweet girl.
Long story short, Hillary was hit by a truck because she was running away after witnessing Cole and Eden kiss. Eden was so depressed and guilty that's why she ran away and moved out, Cole's brain cells declined for a moment because Eden broke his heart when she ran away coupled with the guilt with Hillary making him have a drunken ONS with Hillary's other friend who always has hots for Cole in HS, the ONS resulted in a baby LMAO now that I am typing this I am actually getting pissed off...maybe I hate this book after all...
One thing I remembered I liked was that Eden did not remain celibate during the separation, she mentioned having casual boyfriends and ONS but never serious ones and Cole other than that drunken ONS, he kept waiting for Eden to come back and mentioned that he was also looking for her....more

I love the premise, it was a setup to be angsty and definitely a rage read since the story is about the FMC, River who was adopted by the James family who also met Everett, the MMC and best friend with River’s brother. Their relationship was told in the span of 10 yrs (when River was 13yrs old and Everett was 17yrs old to when they were 23 and 27 respectively) and YES it contains cheating since for the longest time the MMC was in a relationship with OW and he cheated on her with River.
Was really looking forward to this as an angsty read of the forbidden kind and although the writing is readable but the execution was not good. It was also a tell more than show.
But the second book about River’s brother got me curious!...more
I loved the talk about mental health but the way the book used Cam’s mental health problems as a third act breakup reason goes downhill for me. And whI loved the talk about mental health but the way the book used Cam’s mental health problems as a third act breakup reason goes downhill for me. And while I won’t argue with the reason, I’ll say that a break up is not a solution.
It’s like all their development and moments were washed down the drain when this could have fueled a more powerful talk and growth as individuals and as a couple instead of putting it there as a third act conflict for the sake of drama.
Also Cameron’s grand gesture was cringe af. ...more

No matter if a girly is a loser in steroids, a girly does not grovel.
I don’t make the rules, it’s just the law of romance.
Adding to that, that the d!ck of this man is falling off from excessive use that I am 100% sure he must have contracted some ancient disease that the civilization haven’t got a cure of. If he’s not having sex with the FMC, then he’s having sex with someone who has a vagina. Case in fact, he has no trouble acquiring a girlfriend after they broke up.
So the MMC was f-cking someone while the FMC is having therapy and groveling and just being a pathetic loser. Mmmmm great romance, touching love story, it made me puke, it made me hate my gender.

It’s nice to go back and reread Kirito and Asuna’s journey completely rewritten in a, dare I say, better structure and pacing and character development?
Reki really did improve from his original SAO novels in terms of writing and world building and specially adding more dimensions to this character. Kirito and Asuna will always have a place in my heart for introducing me to light novels....more

He wouldn’t stand up for her when his ex-fiancée who he considered as the “love of his life” and had a tattoo of her on his chest said these embarrassing things about the FMC in front of them HE DID NOTHING. What’s more is he was always an asshole and say cruel things to the FMC.
Absolutely despise verbally cruel men. Just disgusting.
I was expecting a grovel of epic proportion where he is literally crying and humiliating himself while on his knees but that didn’t happen and the FMC gave in quickly....more

Oh god. I can’t even pretend.
The writing is so freaking repetitive. Like I think the author must have googled synonymous phrases to satisfy a word count. My eyes must have crossed too many times to count to skim paragraphs after paragraphs of useless information thrown.
Usually I could power through this but the characters pissed me off so much. Here we have a 20-something doormat woman who’s been in love with her best friend since forever and who’s also an actor that’s having sex left and right parallel and perpendicular to whoever has vagina EXCEPT his best friend. Said girl best friend has been celibate for YEARS because she’s been waiting for this manchild to open his eyes and see her and what could they have, until she had enough when garbage MMC said he got back with his ex-gf and saying that maybe she’s the one for him and wants her to befriend said gf.
Sounds romantic? Hold tight. There’s more.
So after that FMC said she had enough and goes on a date with this super great and very nice OM, but honestly we all know that nice, green flags, sweet OM do not win in books because most authors loves to romanticize red flags—anyways beside the point. So she finally has a boyfriend, has great orgasm with him and thinks she’s headed to her happy ending UNTIL. Until her atrocious best friend decided that oh she became beautiful! She dresses sexy now! Oh look her boobies! Oh look she’s on a make up, she looks hot! He noticed her and decided that he wants her.
I expect grovel. Major grovel and courting but she folded like the doormat pathetic bitch she is. ...more

Heartbroken, she left and went away where she met the MMC, this man is handsome, masculine, very rich and very handsome (had to reiterate) and very manhoe (it’s apparently a requirement for Lynne Graham’s MMC to have this).

How to go into the book and offer money to the FMC for a backbone transplant? Anyone knows how? Or maybe I can just offer the author a misogyny check How to go into the book and offer money to the FMC for a backbone transplant? Anyone knows how? Or maybe I can just offer the author a misogyny check for still viewing female characters as the saint of celibacy virginal mother Theresa of purity?
What is so wrong in giving FMCs a sex life? A GREAT sex life? Moving on from dickwads MMCs? Finding love again? Instead they have to remain doormat because they are in a 2nd chance trope where only men can get it, have a life, have fun, have sex, and in the end still get the “love of their life”.
