I love second chance romance books BUT Jonathan, you deserve to grovel, cry, beg for mercy every damn day of your life for what you did. Kennedy forgave you too easily. You haven't suffered enough. Ugh, im just so pissed.
First book of 2024.
I'm one book away from declaring Mhairi McFarlane as my favorite contemporary romance author. (Sorry, Emily Henry.)
I love her humour and how real her characters are. I love love when it's slow burn. Yeah, some scenes were felt forced but i didn't really care. Normally im team #keepromancebooksshort
But when i finished this, i wanted more and more of Laurie & Jamie especially as a couple.
I wouldn't recover as quickly as Laurie did after what Dan did to her but that's just my trust issues speaking.
Plus, the best part of the book was no matter what happens to you, romantic partners may come and go (after 18 damn years) but your friends will be there for you.
The last book of 2023.
I'll be honest. This year sucked.
One of the worst years. I've suffered a lot personally. So has my family and my country. I've seen earthquakes, suicides, genocide, variations of epidemics, mental illnesses, misogyny that lead to crime, injustice, financial problems. Fucking cancer. I've been through a lot and i know people had it so much worse somewhere else. I feel like we all lost something this year. We all have been grieving so many things and we're barely hanging in there. (by we, i mean "i" )
So i don't feel like celebrating anything tonight but i don't want to give up on hope either. I just hope 2024 will be better in every way. I hope it will be better for the ones who suffer in silence. I hope you find your voice this year and i hope you refuse to give up no matter what. Good luck in life, everyone. Lots of love. ❤️
