Estaba dispuesto a ir con ella, eso es lo que haces, ¿verdad? Cuando encuentras el amor, lo sigues.

Excepto que ella quería ir sola.

BOOK REVIEW: WORST WINGMAN EVER BY ABBY JIMENEZ

⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is one of the Amazon Original Stories in the Improbable Meet-Cute collection. I’ve never read a book by Abby Jimenez, but have long had her on my TBR, so this felt like a great way to introduce myself to her. This meet cute follows Holly, a hospice nurse caring for her ailing grandmother, and John, a handyman finding his footing after his girlfriend moved to Japan to be with someone else. 

I loved their story. They would leave things on Holly’s car, and meet face to face without realizing it, after John placed a Valentine on the wrong Honda. The notes they leave are funny and casual, while also being caring and thoughtful. I was convinced they would never realize who the other way.

The quote is from Holly’s grandmother, and I think it’s a beautiful sentiment at the end of someone’s life.

Worst Wingman in the History of Ever

[hastyprovocateur]

I'm certain Mizu killed the iota of hope Akemi had of running away with Taigen if there was any to begin with 😭😭😭 cuz she was like-

"You're begging to eat trash"

"He's searching for you, stubborn enough he'll find you"

"He believes he loves you very much"

"He's not a good man, but he could be a great one"

Mizu's internal monolog was like, Girl, run away with him if you want. He's not all that but he might grow if you put him in water. Your call really. Don't put it on me.

Eso es lo que pasa con la bondad. Nunca se sabe cuán grande es la onda expansiva. Cómo un pequeño gesto desinteresado puede marcar la diferencia para la persona que lo recibe.

(since this was an anthology-series-collection i'm just reviewing them all together)

the improbable meet-cute collection review:

dear god turns out none of these nyt bestselling authors apart from christina lauren knows what a short story is or how to write one!!

1 — the exception to the rule: this was super cute. the only story in here that qualifies as a proper short story honestly. definitely would read again and like i thought this was a sign that i would love the anthology. oh how wrong i was...

2 — worst wingman ever: i should have stopped when i read the word "unalived" but noooooo !!! i had to go and read the rest. there are also weird stereotypes about gay people?? and like this one genuinely has the absolute worst setting as far as romance stories go

3 — rosie and the dreamboat: i should have learned my lesson after reading the hating game but of course fucking not. why does the fmc talk like a baby and why does the mmc talk to her like she's a little girl and he's her dad EUGHHHHH BROTHER EUGHHHHHH her sister is a BITCH btw??? because i would prioritise making sure my sister is safe over setting her up with a hot man. jfc. also PLEASE no man who says "my ma" can ever be a dreamboat fuck off

4 — drop, cover, and hold on: at this point, i was starting to realise that a lot of writers think that short stories are just smaller novels also ngl until like 65% i did not know what the mmc was called. yeah this was... not good the only think i like about this is the setting, fucking love bakeries man

5 — with any luck: ashley poston i knew you wouldn't disappoint me after the last three absolute trainwreck stories. wish it was a little longer tho!!

6 — royal valentine: BORINGGGGG he's a pissy little man child btw like they're both lying about the exact same thing and he's somehow fucking mad at her??? girl???? also the authors WRITES DOWN the mmc's scottish accent so words like "wasnae" and "dinnae" are very common. i wanted to burn my kindle.

in summary; i did this to myself i literally have no excuses

Why are you mad Boromir? What are you writing? Are you dissing Aragorn in favor of your little brother AGAIN? The poor Eowyn has already received ten letters in the last three days, at this point you’re just sabotaging him!! :’D When @greypetrel showed me the sketch of this, I had to ask if I could color it. The leg posing, his expression, the shrimp stance... he’s just perfect and I really hope I did him justice!! ;;  Looking forward for you to seeing her lines because they’re flawless ;; collabing with her is always such a treat, however collabing with her on my absolute favorite rocket launched me to saturn and beyond out of happiness <3
