I feel like this review is about to break some hearts… but here goes nothing… Even after a second read through, I still don‘t know what the 10 things are. I do still like this book, which is just so typical for an Alexis Hall book. Hall just has this amazing way of making me fall in love with the MCs.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics Unpopular opinion, but I don‘t like this one as much as Boyfriend Material, Husband Material, or For Real. I‘m just not as invested in the characters and the way Jonathan is so pissed at Sam to the point he won‘t even let him explain, but then he‘s all “you didn‘t have to leave” … 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 5h
GingerAntics … and he‘s hunting him down two days later and they all lived HEA just didn‘t work for me the way other Hall books did. Maybe it‘s just me, or maybe it‘s just the mood I‘m in. I felt like I liked it more the first time I read it, actually. #AlexisHall #10ThingsThatNeverHappened #audiobook #mixedfeelings 5h

I am devouring this series! A serial killer who is falling in love with an FBI agent, but she only kills scumbags.... what's not to like?!

“I didn‘t think you were that keen for marriage…”
“Yeah, but that was with you,” he said.
“Cheers.”
“No, I mean, the future you decide with a person is different for every person, isn‘t it? It‘s not like you decide what you want, then someone fits into that. We decided we wouldn‘t have gotten married. Lucy and I discussed…that we would…”
“All these things we thought about each other…funny how wrong we were.”
“We weren‘t wrong…we were growing up.”

“I had never known a feeling as unbearable — as sour, wrenching, and unshakeably sad — as pity for a parent.”

It‘s a testament to Alderton‘s writing (& my own healing) that I was so immersed in the story, I didn‘t even think to compare it to my formative heartbreak until 3/4 of the way through! Being “ghosted” by someone you care about, when you‘ve been lead to believe that what you have together is valuable, is so damaging to your self-worth. I love that in her novel, Alderton suggests we trust our friends to be keepers of our hope. Just for a while.👇🏻

monalyisha 1/2: Alderton‘s writing is often described as “wickedly” or “sharply” funny. While this is true, the overall tone is more sad and soft, due to the tenderness of Nina‘s relationship with her father & his burgeoning dementia. Themes like the slow disintegration of a friendship (and how or if it might be worth saving) are introduced. The show-stealing character for me is Nina‘s mother, Nancy/Mandy, a total hot ticket who is ultimately due compassion. 15h
monalyisha 2/2: This is a story of a life in transition [and its anchors]…but aren‘t they always (stories and lives)? 15h

That look every cat gives to anyone who attempts to make them do anything (even if it‘s something they actually want to do).

Since I‘m currently on an Alexis Hall kick while I wait for the final two audiobooks of the Ruthless Desire‘s series to come out sometime this month (hopefully), I guess this is the next logical port of call.

This was so much more tense this time around. I don‘t know why. I guess I forgot how close to the end it was before things were okay again. Still, I loved spending more time with Luc and Oliver, and I‘m not so patiently waiting for their final book next year.

I truly adore this list… and adore, even more, that Oliver came up with it… then added two more items at Luc‘s request… then added an extra bonus item because he could.
