![]() ![]() I continue to stare at the sky for a moment longer, but knowing that ignoring what is happening around me isn’t going to actually help, I finally drag my gaze back to reality. There’s not a single star in the sky tonight, as if even they knew to hide with the monsters out.Ī car door opening catches my attention, making my body tense up even more. I glance up at the sky, anything to not look at the car idling feet away. Even if the legal capacity of that contract is in doubt. And yet there’s no promise that they won’t take me anyway. I may say fuck it and let them kill him for my own freedom. If he so much as tries to hug me, I may completely flip out on him in this alleyway. I move away from him when he draws closer not wanting any false comfort or sympathy. Richard gets out of the car, slamming the door behind him as he rounds the hood to come stand beside me. All the monsters I’ve survived and this one is going to be the one to destroy me. ![]()

Also, he supposedly dated some of these girls for long periods of time, and these are not his only exes (in fact it’s insinuated there are MANY more) so the timeline just doesn’t work out for him to be only 20. I realize the ages are to make it YA, but it’s just not something that lends itself to being a YA book precisely because of the ages. ![]() Once I realized the guy was only 20 and his six exes were 18 to early twenties the whole thing just became silly. The idea of a Bachelor-type reality TV show with all the competitors exes and the winner rekindling their romance with one lucky ex has excellent potential. It’s meant to be a light, brain candy sort of book with a sweet f/f romance, but there were too many things that bothered me about it to allow it to be very enjoyable. The premise was great and it started strong, but in the end Never Ever Getting Back Together was just bad. ![]() Never Ever Getting Back Together by Sophie Gonzales ![]() ![]() The Complete Chronicles Of Conan: Centenary Edition (GOLLANCZ S.F.)

Sebastian shot him a little grin but didn’t say anything. “Where would all your toys go?” Dylan asked. “You think we have too much space at home?” Soph smirked. “Momma, can we live in an RV?” Teddy asked. I removed my ball cap and left it on my lap. If dinner was among family and you sat at a table, someone said grace. It’d been the rule for as long as I’d lived. It was still weird for me to be part of a family dinner where no one said grace. So it didn’t make a lick of sense for me to seek him out to provoke a reaction. In fact, it was best we avoided each other altogether. He’d hurt me too, and he better not push me. I might have screwed up royally, but he wasn’t so damn innocent. I wanted to belong somewhere, and I was ready to work for it. For once in my life, I wanted redemption.

And then, suddenly, you are swept away in a tale that is bristling with incident, steeped in the human condition, buffeted by winds of fate. Before long, you are surrendering to the voice of a confident narrator, the arc of an unfamiliar story. But as you slip into the book’s pages, you sense you are entering a singular creation, a richly populated world. No famous name on the spine will suggest what’s in store. No “news hook” will have brought you to it. Why you peck like a magpie past the bright glitter of publishers’ promises.
