I enjoy Kennedy Ryan's writing. I do feel that Kennedys Ryan's stories veer a little outside of the romance genre to me. I think that is a great thing and I would be excited to see her writing stories outside of romance. Hopefully so of her work will be picked up for shows and movies.❤
I think Deja just had her guard up against her mom because she was afraid she'll leave her too - decide she didn't love her anymore like she did with her dad. She shut her out to protect herself.
The friend group did seem like high school banter but I appreciate their "intrusiveness", felt like friends who stick together... Eg the way they joined her in the fountain looking for the necklace/ring
Deja was indeed the villain 🧌 I think my own age and experience were the only things that kept me from also throwing the book when it came to her disrespect. I agree that, if I were Yasmen, I would have sent her to live with her father, but Yas was going to suffer through the disrespect because part of her felt guilty enough about the entire situation to believe she deserved it. In an actual real life situation, Dejah wouldn't have been able to forgive and empathize with her mother until she was grow enough to deal with her own pregnancy and her own man, because she is clearly a 13 year old know-it-all. 🤷🏾♀️
New subbie ❤ I think you are hilarious! I literally LOL-ed multiple times. This book really was 4 star prose, but I too had complaints. I agree that Yas' friends were intrusive and I didnt care for them in this book. However, I liked them way more in the sequel "This Could Be Us." I am going to read some of the books your club has reviewed and then watch more of your videos. Thanks for sharing!
The smutty scenes between Yas and Si. . . Idk but, I'm 40 years old - divorced and no kids. Those 2 were lovers, partners, and parents for all those years. They split, but never stopped loving or wanting each other. Their separation only made them want each other even more. Apparently, they were both sexy af and filled with pent up frustrations that I can't lie, I might have been ravenous or out of control or a little reckless, too 🤷🏾♀️ especially not knowing how long that level of passion would last. On the other hand, I see how it could come off as too much for the last 50 or 100 pages.
If I'm 8 months pregnant(or even if I just find out) am not doin' fuck all, mate, let alone moving around to such an extent as to trip and fall onto my pregnant belly..... *Even still*..... Deja is getting one right in the chops for that. Then she's going to boarding school and maybe she can come home during holidays but.... we'll see.
It’s really not uncommon…many women work up until it’s time for them to deliver, especially if there are no complications and it’s an “easy” pregnancy . She had no reason to have concern - you can trip doing the most mundane things.
@@ZoraNH.dusttracks1891 You're absolutely right and that's the trouble. You have an easy pregnancy and you can trip doing mundane things so do as little as possible. Let it be an accident and not a maelstrom of should'a could'a would'a. They're two very different things.
Why do people write children like that??? I need the 'who, what, where, why, when' of the children these people write. The ridiculous meanness without context or explaination gives an edge I can't deal with. It gives me questions about the author.
Lol I liked deja. She went thru all the same trauma and nobody even asked her how she was coping with it. They just sucked it up to teenage hormones and I hated that for her
