She pulled a liter of Diet Coke and a handle of Absolut vodka out of her oversize purse and placed them on one of the desks.

I wish I had this book & It Ends With Us sooner to give myself a better peace of mind in the midst of my 20s. A great read for anyone who has been in a manipulative relationship or victimized to a degree but should also come w/ a warning label because the emotions were heavy and a big part of me finished it fast b/c I was so sad reading it. I appreciate that it doesn’t come with a happy ending, but a realistic one; Stephens are all the same and they do not change with time This book brought out many feels in me: nostalgia, regret, anger, but also strength and peace. Each chapter was more addicting than the one before and I could not wait to finish. I felt anxious all the way up until the end.

I resist the overwhelming urge to roll my eyes. Melissa never misses an opportunity to remind everyone that she’s the one who landed us Expedia. I honestly have no idea how she pulled that off.

Right.” Melissa scowls and darts her eyes away weirdly. Alanna spills coffee on the sleeve of her shirt and scowls. In sales, scowling is protocol. Fast-paced and full of twists... I had no idea where it was going to end and that’s what I love most about reading.’ Goodreads reviewer, 5 stars Lucy Albright is on her way to a friend’s wedding. She is extremely anxious…because HE’S going to be there.Ed James' new series takes place in Seattle rather than the UK-based series he has penned to date. There is also a change in subject, focusing on child abductions rather than the standard "murrdurr" fayre. This is definitely NOT your typical love story. This is about a toxic and an all-encompassing obsessive kind of “love”. A coming-of-age story that explores the consequences and tribulations of still being haunted by the wrong one who you just can’t let go of, the book is narrated by both Lucy and her love interest, Stephen. Watch as their relationship grows and changes throughout college and after-grad life in NYC, within the push and pull of not-right young romance, and not quite being able to let go. Brides

Oh my god I loved this. I LOVED IT. Tell Me Lies by Carola Lovering was so relatable to me that I read this in one day! Have you ever seen that meme where it’s a picture of a guy with a cell phone and the meme reads “hmm I haven’t talked to her in a few months, let me text her before she moves on”.

And as Lucy tries, over and over, to regain control of her life, she can't resist her feelings for Stephen, and she knows that if everything was perfect, he'd feel the same. Is she wrong to keep pinning her hopes on someone who keeps disappointing her? Will it ever be different? Had high hopes for this book and it didn't disappoint.

Lucy tries to move on after the death of a new friend by accepting Stephen's invitation to go on a date. I watch the city slink away from the window of the train.

A twisted modern love story” ( Parade), Tell Me Lies is a sexy, thrilling novel about that one person who still haunts you—the other one. The wrong one. The one you couldn’t let go of. The one you’ll never forget. Lucy, did you print the meeting agenda?” she asks tersely, averting her eyes. Melissa is on even more of a power trip than Alanna, which, coalesced with her social dysfunction, is a frightening combination. CJ flinched. She’s used to the fact that I don’t call her Mom anymore—I haven’t in years—but she still hates it, especially when we’re around new people. “They’re going to think I’m your stepmom,” she once said, and I’d shrugged, because after she did the Unforgivable Thing, I stopped caring what she thought. CJ swore a lot, which was kind of nice because, growing up, my older sister, Georgia, and I could swear as much as we wanted. Whenever we went out, Georgia and I knew to tame our speech, but CJ didn’t, and her swearing could be embarrassing. Before you take off, I need to see you in my office.” Melissa uses every opportunity imaginable to let the world know she has an office now that she’s director of sales, even though her promotion was more than a year ago and even though her “office” is essentially a cubicle without a door, three feet from my own desk.While Russian literature was mentioned- ( the class was killing Lucy) — what was really occupying her mind had nothing to do with her college course load. a b Rice, Lynette (November 29, 2022).

He'd graduated, had just dumped his long-distance girlfriend (or had he? I don't know). I was insecure and young and naive and I was number 32. Yes, he told me what number I was, and I thought it was so cool of me that it didn't bother me. That it didn't bother me when he told me I wasn't the prettiest girl he'd dated, or that I wasn't even the best at sex—not even in the top 5. That we were never "official." That he never, not once, said that he loved me. That he'd taunt me with it by mouthing "olive juice," because it looks like "I love you." He proudly said he had Peter Pan Syndrome, that he would never grow up. That he manipulated me emotionally, socially isolated me from my friends, and I bought into every damn thing because I just wanted to be accepted.
