bookshelves: chef-s-kiss, moah-romances-5stars
Read 6 times. Last read October 30, 2023 to November 3, 2023.

update bonus scene: im typing this with literally tears running down my cheeks because oh man, the bonus content was so beautiful.

�"I love you, big man."
"I love you too, Muffin."�


and not the mention of diana and the boys plus, van&aiden’s kids. i dont think i’ll ever recover from how fiona told vanessa that she would marry lou one day😭 now idc, i NEED their book if they ever end up together. since i read that aiden and venessa adopted fiona in 'Hands Down' i thought she would eventually end up with josh.. but i love this alternative, too.🤭

anyway, i don’t understand or know how is it possible to love and obsess this much over fictional characters and a couple but i do. i guess it’s time to reread WoW for 7th time and 'Wait For It' in the process for the 5th time🫠
•~•~•~•~
I woke up and wanted to write a love letter to this
book.


There’s always a book that you’ll unapologetically love, and this is it for me. I remember when i first read it i was exiting my "teenager literature era" that was mainly orbiting around the dark side of Wattpad. My notion of "the prefect fictional relationships" was mingled, too, with my cinematographic obsession with romance/drama. I was taught at a very young age that to hook a reader or spectator into a romance�make it memorable—it needs to have either a tragic ending or a course of events rhythm-ed with drama and quite a lot of action. Well, MZ took my hand and explained to me slowly that no, you can make a read impactful, a romance beautifully written even if it’s lacking jealousy, manipulation or a melodramatic epilogue. I knew then that love is about the little attentions about the friendship and most importantly that if someone ever wanted to be with you or know you, the dite person would make compromises to make it possible not because you asked for it but because they simply wanted to. Everyone deserves a pur love like theirs. I will keep manifesting it with each reread.
