When Gracie Met the Grump

2.75

thoughts while reading:
- the amount of times gracie says “did I do something in another lifetime” LIKE OK WE GET IT RELAX (mind you this is only like 25% into the book)

- her inner monologue is fucking annoying

- 30% so far it's been repetitive and boring

- cartel storyline is actually SO dumb how is this even a major plot point

- gracie's constantly apologizing and saying thank you but like... the story hasn't progressed enough for her to be saying it this much

- imagine being imprisoned with someone and every time you speak she apologizes. just kill me already

- girl does not stop crying omg she's just like me!

- hate the butthole banter. please just say asshole instead, gracie curses anyway

- 60% I'm living for this angst

- some of his family is just trash, and i kinda wish there was a bigger focus on his siblings (or at least the ones that like her) befriending her more for a found family vibe. maybe that's just me but her going out with selene just isn't enough. gracie's been through a lot and i want better for her.

- this book is definitely he falls first, but girl could've a lot reciprocated the feelings and given us more than just her constantly noticing he's hot. BUT i will cut gracie some slack because she did often mention she's not well socialized.

- i like slow burn (how could you not if you read MZ?) but please give me better payout than that wtf i went through all that for crumbs.

and after that i just don't care. book is pretty forgettable. wish MZ did better because this could've been so good.

ALSO i'm sorry but i just can't imagine a hot MMC named alexander. sorry to all the alexander's out there but it just isn't for me.
