I'm Carla and I get a tiny glimpse of the base of his dick.

Rick, I don't know what else to call it the neck.
0:38
I'm Emily and hopefully Beckett is shitting out his brains.
0:42
Yeah, he deserves it. Wow.
0:46
Before we start talking about toxic exes.
0:49
Can I just say that I literally have Whiplash because lost book
0:55
with the most terrible male of all time.
0:58
And then now we've got arguably the best male we've ever talked
1:02
about, in my opinion and you can be, you can tell me, I'm Wrong.
1:05
No, I'm just glad it was me. Julie, Whiplash, because of how
1:12
much we were cheating on Jameson.
1:14
Yeah. And then now we have Co yeah,
1:18
our knight in shining armor amazing.
1:20
Redeem redeemed male forget almost, no red flags or just
1:26
like bare minimum. Mmm.
1:28
It's like an actual human being. Yeah.
1:30
Which was nice. I know there was nothing.
1:32
Terribly disturbing a front. We didn't even need a trigger
1:36
warning know, which is unheard off, it doesn't exist doesn't
1:41
exist. So, speaking of Theo, since
1:43
we're on the topic, one of the first descriptions of him was
1:48
her saying I see the Pacific Ocean in his gaze?
1:51
I know, I know you're gonna bring that up.
1:54
I immediately just going on. It's the blues.
1:57
It's the baby blue. Oceans for me.
1:59
The Windlass like it's The Windlass Lake.
2:01
It's what was the other one? I can't really looks like
2:04
Patrick something was Jameson and then Theo's.
2:08
The Pacific Ocean. I swear Jameson's was like I see
2:12
blue. Hmm?
2:13
Right. Boring.
2:14
Every male character here. Has ocean blue eyes to have we
2:18
ever read any with brown eyes? I think so.
2:21
I did make brown eyes sexy. Sorry, Carla.
2:28
You don't have to. They already are they are
2:31
chocolate little eyeballs chocolate droplets.
2:37
Chocolate trademark that no one's allowed to take it, I
2:45
thought, oh my gosh, I should write a smutty, smut smart
2:48
smart. I should just write this muddy.
2:50
A small spot. Go ahead.
2:54
Surely, I can do it. If anyone else, like some of the
2:57
things we've read, I mean, I swear to God.
2:59
I mean, considering the last book, I think you'd be fine
3:02
exactly, like, how bad could it be?
3:05
So let's talk about Amelia, she's our main female character
3:10
life. She's having a bit of a Bridget
3:11
Jones moment. It's in the toilet.
3:13
It's all the way to alert and flushed.
3:16
It's a nice little floaties in there.
3:21
She's prepping for this big interview.
3:23
With her boss thinking that she's going to be promoted
3:25
essentially. Yeah.
3:26
Turns out she's getting fired because their entire department
3:29
or their entire production company's going under.
3:31
It's going in the toilet. So it's like by girl.
3:34
And he's like also sung this NDA?
3:37
Yes. Oh you can't talked about about
3:38
it. No otherwise I feel like a work
3:42
Grandma would've hit her up. Yeah.
3:44
The day before I thought you said we had like, why do you
3:46
have to sign an NDA? I don't know if they're all
3:48
getting fired. But anyway, she was liquidated
3:50
down the toilet. She's walking out of there.
3:53
Like, what the fuck goes home early?
3:54
At least I've got my boyfriend whole probably comfort me.
3:57
Yeah, she's trying to ring him, he's not answering, I'm not him,
4:01
right? The you seem like a phone call.
4:04
You would be like All right. Something's wrong.
4:06
Yeah, but he was probably Midway.
4:08
Yeah, at that exact moment. So he's got his phone on play
4:11
mode. Do not disturb.
4:12
I don't know. Oh, yeah.
4:14
In coordination. He's just listening to the
4:16
beeping in the background to make it through this.
4:19
I can wake it up to the speed V. So she comes home.
4:24
He's fucking cheating on her having phone sex with who knows.
4:28
Like she has no idea. No.
4:30
She thought he was just having a fat.
4:31
Yeah. Yeah.
4:33
He was talking to someone. If that wax I mean only she
4:36
didn't walk in on him like full banging someone.
4:39
Yeah that that's what I thought it was going to be, to be
4:42
honest. Yeah I thought she's got a
4:43
walk-in full doggystyle. Just Cherry on top of your shit
4:52
Sunday over day. Yeah.
4:55
So her boyfriend of four years, I mean, seeing this girl for six
4:58
months. Beckett, Beckett, Beckett,
5:02
Beckett, a dog, jack, it would. And then she confronts him
5:05
straight up, she thinks to herself.
5:08
I don't condone violence, but throws her phone.
5:11
Was it her phone or his? I think she slapped him first
5:14
and then through his phone. Yeah, at his face, could I think
5:18
she grabbed the phone? Which I think fairly Math.
5:20
I can doughnut because I'm gonna be like bitch.
5:23
Yeah what the fuck phone call is this?
5:25
Who is this? I would have called them back.
5:27
I don't understand why she didn't.
5:29
I'm surprised that he was able to hang up, Midway ink.
5:32
And then that was all Gucci. Know they were finishing because
5:35
he was like yeah but do you just hang up?
5:38
Yeah. Do you just finish midweek in
5:39
your life? I love you.
5:41
I'll see you in a couple weeks. Oh, he kind of said that part,
5:43
didn't he? Yeah, because she covered
5:45
outside the door for a little bit.
5:46
It wasn't just Midway because you ran in she because I think
5:49
he's shoes. Like I, he's probably just
5:50
watching porn and the, I was like, I love you and she's like,
5:53
excuse me. Yeah.
6:00
So she barges in and then she drives into Hospital, get
6:03
fucked, old mates. Going to be calling the
6:05
ambulance. And yeah, that was me.
6:07
Yeah, I think she was just trying to get out of not being
6:09
charged. She's like, if I drive you don't
6:16
do it, not call on the place, right?
6:19
It's not a menage. Doing that so immediately.
6:21
He's like you can just stay living here until we break up
6:23
break up. And she's like no no he didn't
6:26
want it to go. He's like we can work this out.
6:29
That doesn't even make sense though.
6:31
He's entire character doesn't make sense and I everything he
6:34
did throughout this whole thing made no sense to me, Beckett.
6:37
It's like she's this shit always the typical cheating boyfriend.
6:46
In these kind of books. Are, you know what?
6:48
Usually, we have a cheating boyfriend.
6:51
Do you need to make the other one look better?
6:53
Right. But you didn't even need Beckett
6:55
in there. No, to make.
6:57
I think it was just to make her life seemed shit.
7:00
It was shit or yeah. So bad.
7:04
But even when she was kind of leave, and he's like, trying to
7:06
get her to stay. He's like, I have kissed
7:08
goodbye. Like what?
7:10
It'll, you've got a whole other girlfriend, my no foul.
7:15
A girlfriend who then thinks that she was the one being
7:19
cheated on when they explained it.
7:21
Like, yeah, so this is Gusty. So anyway, she booked a hotel
7:26
room. She's like, Fuck this.
7:28
If that was me though and I had paid for half of the furniture
7:31
in that shared apartment or house or whatever.
7:33
Fuck off, he's gonna pay me back off either, pay you back our or
7:39
alternatively you take it and if you don't want it you dump it.
7:41
So we have to buy it or resell it.
7:43
Yeah yeah but don't just walk. Way and leave him with
7:46
everything. He got the apartment, you
7:49
probably set up the whole apartment yelling he just gets
7:52
to what invite his new girlfriend to live there.
7:54
Maybe who knows? That's even worse?
7:56
Well, that for them. I would not love that for my
7:59
wallet but oh my God, I'm so pissed.
8:02
No, I feel. I only got some Savings in there
8:05
and so she doesn't really immediately tell anyone because
8:08
she's a bit, like, what the fuck is this day?
8:11
I don't want to tell anyone eventually reaches out to her
8:13
dad and her dad's immediately like yo will you Going to just
8:16
move back home and she's like, she's like I hate the idea
8:20
because she said she's nearly 30.
8:21
They didn't say her exact age. I think they were 30.
8:26
Okay. Yeah because I think there was a
8:27
bit where she said, she's nearly 30 and she feels like a loser
8:30
food. 29, 30 years. Hmm, Amelia has a weird
8:34
relationship with her dad just generally, because she's never
8:36
really processed her mom dying and him having a new partner
8:40
soon. After, she's just running away
8:42
from her avoiding it, she lost, I think three months there, And
8:46
then moved. Yep, then come back.
8:49
And she at the time, Molly, who's the dad's new partner?
8:53
Her son, Theo, who's the same age.
8:55
She only lived with him three months.
8:57
When they were teenagers and they did not get along, he had
9:00
issues with her dad and she had issues with his mom.
9:02
Yes, it was just that he was not good and no one liked each
9:05
other. I feel like 10 years of past
9:08
though and she probably should have thought of that out.
9:11
Like she had it off and she had plenty of time to go sort that
9:14
out. So I feel like At the starters.
9:16
Like she's being so mean to her dad for no reason sometimes.
9:19
I don't know. I'm really Petty, so that would
9:21
probably be me. Hmm, yeah, but at this point,
9:25
it's like, they've been together 10 years.
9:26
It wasn't some fling. Yeah, it wasn't like he was
9:28
parading 50 different women through the house.
9:31
She did go back to Christmases and she was really nice to
9:35
Molly. Yeah.
9:36
But I don't think she could handle that house changing.
9:39
I think that's what she was more sad about.
9:42
Yeah, than anything. Well, it's almost like she
9:44
didn't really Have a chance to grieve her mom.
9:46
Probably know, because Dad's just there with a new partner
9:50
and party upstairs memories. Neither did Theo.
9:53
I think no. No, that's where the main
9:54
problem will, theosis, even more fucked up when we find out
9:57
information later, but we'll get to that later.
9:59
That's not something. Let's get back to the fun part,
10:03
the part of the beginning, but yeah, we find out Amelia's.
10:07
Mum died from cancer. She just thought her dad moved
10:11
on too quick. Yeah.
10:12
It was like six months and they were married.
10:14
Yeah. Which is Kind of intense I guess
10:16
if you're like 16 17 or whatever how well she was.
10:19
Yeah. But anyway since then she's been
10:21
living in l.a. working doing movie trailers?
10:24
Yeah. Production is pretty cool.
10:26
That's all she wants to do. She references a lot of movies
10:28
in the books, too. Mmm.
10:30
So she's feeling pretty shit. But she takes off her dad's
10:33
invite and she's like oh I'd least I can just be there for
10:35
weeks, find a new job, just live there.
10:38
So I'm not paying rent and then go back to LA.
10:40
Yes and she found out that Theo is coming back in five weeks and
10:43
she's like okay that gives me four weeks.
10:45
To get my shit together. Shit together, a movie out
10:47
before I had to face him because you just didn't want to.
10:49
She doesn't shake it and they hate each other.
10:52
Yeah. She just and she didn't want to
10:53
have to admit to anyone that she's lost her job and was
10:56
cheated on kind of thing. Yeah, that's a little much that,
10:58
honestly, it's a little, it shouldn't be embarrassing for
11:01
yourself but it is. Yeah, I could see that.
11:05
Yeah, her dad is totally fine, though.
11:07
I like that. Their parents are fine, fine.
11:11
They are nicely parents God. And I feel like she didn't even
11:16
have a traumatic childhood apart, from my mom, died.
11:19
Hey, feel like they were good parents.
11:20
Anything. I feel like her and Theo missed
11:22
out on a good ten years. That's why I found them to be
11:26
kind of ungrateful. Yeah.
11:28
Sometimes because they just they treated them so rude.
11:32
Yeah, in the household and it's kind of like not everyone has
11:35
parents that will let you live at home.
11:36
No, they'll be like, get fucked. Yeah.
11:39
Especially if you nearly 30, they'll be like haha, you got
11:41
cheated on like that's your problem.
11:42
All they don't like you do free-range things.
11:45
Arms back home either. Yeah, sometimes he moved back
11:47
home in there like to kill you, too.
11:49
Yeah. You could be 30 and they'll be
11:51
like, absolutely not. You have rules.
11:53
Yeah. That's disgusting.
11:56
Yeah. They're getting off on you being
11:57
a child again. Yeah, it's like, come on their
12:00
kind of helping you out in this economy.
12:03
It's not unheard of to live at your parents place if you're
12:05
between jobs. I mean, what are you supposed to
12:08
do materializes Brigance? Again, figuring come out of your
12:11
asshole. Not many people can do that at
12:13
all. Also, just going along with the
12:15
themes of ungratefulness. I feel like she was a bit bitchy
12:19
to her former manager, Benny not bitchy, but she was not a little
12:24
baby not to Benny 220. Yeah, that too.
12:28
But I feel like she wasn't the best friend.
12:31
No, Benny because she kind of came in and she was like I hate
12:34
the fact that I'm going back to my high school job but he's
12:37
giving you an opportunity to make money and she progressed in
12:41
that role. Yeah.
12:42
And all she did was when she talked to him was sort of Benton
12:46
gossip and then she wasn't like, oh, what are you guys doing?
12:50
What have you got going on in your life is very one way?
12:53
Yeah, sure. Yeah, he was so supportive and
12:55
he didn't. Yeah, charity Secrets or
12:58
anything and no, he's very high-fashion good.
13:02
So Tony was the co-worker but she was kind of, was she kind of
13:06
a manager? I think she was because she was
13:08
a sort of retraining her on the new drinks and training new
13:12
staff and she's all right, she's like whatever.
13:14
I'm just doing this. Part-time and I'm helping him
13:16
out and like, I'm pretty sure he's helping you out.
13:18
Girl, yeah, that convincing herself that she was getting
13:22
helping him out. Oh no, I found it ironic that
13:25
the book was called grounded but the parents are so chill.
13:29
Yeah, and it was really not and maybe it meant more in the way
13:32
that she was grounded. Yeah.
13:34
Because of the situation. Well, they were both really
13:37
grounded I suppose because they had nowhere else to go, like
13:40
they have come back down to earth.
13:42
Yeah. Because he I can see everything
13:44
his own shit. He Was overseas.
13:46
He was doing all sorts of whatever.
13:48
So we didn't have to face the issues.
13:50
About his dad. Yeah.
13:52
And then she was off in her relationship, doing whatever.
13:54
I suppose it was a little bit. Like being grounded though
13:57
because he had no job, no money. No, yeah, no cars at some point.
14:01
Yes, that was so weird. Yeah, because Amelia and Theory
14:06
left things off in a really bad note, she just didn't want to
14:08
see him turns out. He purposefully got a flight
14:11
earlier because he found out. She was coming home.
14:13
Yeah, how they left off? They didn't like each other, but
14:17
there had to be crush on her. She obviously didn't reciprocate
14:20
and she kind of bullied him a lot.
14:22
Yeah. It was like both ways.
14:25
Yeah, a little bit, arguably worse.
14:27
Yeah hers was worse and I feel like she had the upper hand
14:31
because he had moved into her family house and so he felt like
14:34
an outsider and she was just shitting all over teenage.
14:38
See I was overweight. Yeah, probably completely nerdy
14:42
nerdy. And then she apparently was a
14:44
popular girl. All right, massive rack.
14:46
So she was winning on her own not in life, though, because she
14:52
had really shitty friends through high school.
14:53
Yeah. But they were not of the same
14:55
leagues and know at all at the time.
14:57
So she peaked in high school, which is kind of funny.
14:59
Yeah. So good.
15:03
So he had tried to kiss her like right before they left.
15:07
Yeah, he was like, this is my moment and then she went like
15:11
I'm never coming back. So good.
15:15
She's back in the house and the surprise is the as there too.
15:18
Yeah. And her jaw is like to the floor
15:20
because she sees him and he's perhaps, she's throbbing his
15:25
ruling, he's drooling while he's not reading the room.
15:28
No, she's not. The dads like, oh shit, the
15:32
field of realizes, he's like, uh, they're both in their 30s
15:35
and dads like, oh, oh, oh, he's like oblivious.
15:44
She's like, what's coming on? The ice out with his visible V,
15:49
the V down to the D, his declined declined out, because
15:54
he's hard all the time. Apparently pubes probably just
15:57
slowing over this Farm. Nice curly, can we get to the
16:01
point that they were wearing swim shorts all the time - okay.
16:05
So they live in a Beach Town. Yes.
16:07
And the house has a pool of the spa.
16:09
Yes. So they constantly like how many
16:11
times did she say? She was changing into her bikini
16:13
have beige bikini. I know why would you wear a
16:16
beige bikini? The throne flowery not have more
16:18
than one bikini if you live in a Beach Town.
16:21
Well, I guess it's been 10 years.
16:24
Her sizing is probably change but why did you think beige
16:28
unless you are really nice and tight and beige just going to
16:31
make you look pretty much as you think, Rachel Dylan with the 10
16:35
right with a spray tan. Yeah, yeah I know like you have
16:38
to be sculpted by the gods to pull off a beige bikini.
16:41
No I'm getting. It was just to make her look
16:43
more. Age.
16:44
Yeah, but optically. Well I think I would not, you
16:50
could not pay me a million dollars to wear beige picking at
16:52
least Apple a, I know, I mean, I hope the good sis.
16:56
Let her coochie breathe every other time because they were
16:59
like, going from wet to dry bikini.
17:01
She was changing into bikinis for a full day.
17:03
That's not good for the couch. No, that's not good.
17:06
No, let alone the activities that were doing it fast but
17:11
we'll get to that soon none. That has happened yet.
17:17
So he's back. She's just like, what the fuck.
17:20
How did you get so ripped? Essentially, she pretty much
17:23
asked him, that one time. They Fightin.
17:25
They're Fightin. But the vanta the been taught.
17:28
Well, it's like they hated each other but it had the sexual
17:39
tension. Now, yes, I hate when you get
17:41
like an enemy's. What was not the saying this,
17:43
isn't it. Meet all kinds of is but light,
17:46
where they go a little bit too far.
17:48
It's too aggressive, and it doesn't make sense like this.
17:51
At least all makes sense. Why I don't like each other,
17:54
right? And he was so smug about it
17:57
because he knows he is hot now. Yeah, he knows he's been around
18:01
the world. He's had experience with women
18:03
now. She's come from, nothing nothing
18:06
on him when two people go y'all? Yeah, those are real key
18:09
numbers. Yeah, I'm years of your adult
18:11
life. She's been with Beckett for
18:14
Years. So what she had one boyfriend.
18:18
Who knows what she's doing. She's not doing it right.
18:23
So turns out she's gained weight and he's like shredded.
18:27
Yes. So it's like a reverse and you
18:30
know, reverse of what their situation was before.
18:32
So he's like a 10 out of 10 and she's like, oh now I see it.
18:37
Yeah, so she's a size 10 in American sizing which is a
18:42
healthy size, 14. Gallo.
18:45
I looked it up all that exciting.
18:49
So confusing. Yeah.
18:50
Oh, so she's Queen. She's got an hourglass figure,
18:54
nice. And he was frothing about the
18:57
curves, which I was like, good. A main character that isn't just
19:00
just magically slim, you know what?
19:02
I really enjoy. Every time we read about the
19:05
Curvy, Girl, we always hear about their soft belly and I
19:10
hate it. I don't know why.
19:11
I know, I'm sure it's fine. But look at the patient, but I
19:15
love that he was like, you can see a curves are like her bikini
19:18
cut into it. Yes.
19:19
And stuff like that. And it was frothing over it.
19:22
Yeah. Instead of like all the nice
19:24
soft belly, I'm like, who attractive the sounding of it?
19:27
Whose side? No.
19:28
Yes, a bit weird. Yeah, so she's already frosting
19:32
over his abs and dikke nekke just a big deal immediately
19:35
where watch the obsessions about the pubes please, because you
19:39
don't get dick. Nick without pubes and I needed
19:41
to hear about pubes sorry mate. He's hair-free not into it.
19:47
This is they must be skin looks, this is something I didn't need
19:51
to know what it's like when guys fully shaved they think they're
19:55
making that dick look bigger. But it just it I'm not into it.
20:00
That's foul. Good for you.
20:03
Good for you girl. I feel like you must agree.
20:07
I hate here button but clean-shaved I don't want I need
20:12
you to talk because My boyfriend's in the other room.
20:17
Here us is fun. Meanwhile he's having like a go
20:26
at her right? Yes.
20:27
That she's mad but then as she's bending to put her plate and
20:33
dishwasher. Yeah.
20:34
Apparently he's somehow grazed. Who asked ya with these dick?
20:38
I know that happened and one almost like at the time I was
20:42
like, oh, maybe it wasn't on purpose because how we reacted,
20:45
right? But when you read more into the
20:47
book you like all he 100% to do it on purpose.
20:50
Yeah. And you know, he's wearing thin
20:53
swimming trunks without anything else.
20:55
Yeah, but that was when he was wearing pajamas boxes.
20:58
Yeah. I feel like that was a strategic
20:59
move as well. And it was so funny because the
21:01
dad would get testy whenever he was like, wearing all these are
21:05
you got it? Well the mountain to she was
21:07
like, um, can you put some clothes on appropriate?
21:09
We have a lady in the house. We have a lady Molly's on that.
21:13
Like you don't need a torment. Eyes.
21:15
Amelia with your huge way. Yeah, she's like fuck sake.
21:24
I need a lock. Her up man.
21:28
So good. They're reacquainted and he goes
21:32
to the coffee house. Pretty much to her rassa.
21:34
Yeah. Like good old days where he
21:36
would go there to just Google that her which is so funny.
21:39
Yeah things haven't changed that much apparently, the best part
21:43
was he walks right up to the co-worker and he's like I'll
21:47
have another one for the road and your number and the girl was
21:50
like tripping over. Herself.
21:52
Yeah. So that was Tony she's like
21:53
tripping over herself. Meanwhile Amelia's being like
21:57
aggressive to PR and he told me it's like you just shut the fuck
22:01
up, you know Tony's like get out of.
22:04
Wait, aren't you like related, fuck off.
22:08
She's like the hottest guy that ever come in there?
22:17
Oh shit. So then um, yeah, so he's
22:20
confidence has improved. Obviously.
22:22
Yes. Being in teenager, so she's
22:25
tripping over itself. Gives the phone number parents.
22:28
Go out of town. Yeah.
22:30
And then the next morning, Amelia sees Tony, we've Theo's a
22:34
bedroom, the Walk of Shame, the Walk of Shame, which is really
22:41
to even react to that she was mad.
22:43
She was like, why are you sleeping Beeping with my
22:46
manager, he went on with it too and they didn't do anything.
22:50
But, like, who was more mad, because was she more jealous, or
22:53
was she mad like wishing or Melanie or mad at the Elvis
22:57
jealous? She was jelly, she was jealous
23:00
jelly donuts. And she was like, if I thought
23:02
you were going to sleep someone earning, remember, it's like,
23:05
well, sneak someone in yourself bitch.
23:07
No one's stopping. You it at this point theory was
23:09
encouraging her to have a rebound.
23:12
Yeah, he was like you've just got to go bang.
23:14
Someone this guy treated you badly and Wasted four years of
23:16
being alive when she was just doing that to put in a head for
23:20
him though. Yeah, get a reaction.
23:22
I think. Yeah.
23:23
Because he was testing a daily action all the time and I think
23:27
that's what the manager was. He just wanted to do that in
23:30
front of her. It's very actually.
23:31
Yeah, who bring someone into your bedroom at like midnight
23:37
and just makes out. Yeah, come on.
23:41
I would never. I would be more embarrassed
23:43
about that because he goes, I'm tired.
23:45
Third, and she didn't leave and she thought in her mind that he
23:49
invited her to sleep over. That's so fucking awkward.
23:52
Yeah. If someone didn't want to sleep
23:54
with you and you're already in their bed, go home.
23:57
Yeah, you'd be like, okay, go somewhere and live.
24:01
Yeah, it's kind of like us or bad start for 20.
24:05
Yes, it was just don't a good system.
24:07
Get her on. No, no, she was just a pawn in
24:10
this sick. 60, boy games. Incest battles.
24:17
Can we talk about how this isn't fully taboo incest?
24:19
Because they're not related. They live together for three
24:24
months when they were little well not little kids but kids.
24:27
Yeah. So it's not really no.
24:29
I feel like this is the only way you can do it.
24:32
Yeah. This is the only way it should
24:34
be done because it's enough to pique your interest.
24:37
Mmm. It's enough to be like oh yeah.
24:40
Fuck but then they actually have nothing to do with each other.
24:43
Exactly. And there's a little hole at
24:45
all. Life.
24:46
It wasn't grooming. It wasn't no.
24:49
And uncle and a niece or something fucked.
24:52
It was. Yeah.
24:52
They fucking barely knew each other.
24:54
Yeah. They look at each other.
24:56
Three months, hated each other? Yeah.
24:58
Left for 10 years. Yeah.
24:59
It's the only way you should be and they're nearly 30 years.
25:02
I mean, if anything come on there's no twenty-year-old right
25:06
with the 30 plus 30 plus year old Auntie she's 23.
25:11
She's okay. She's still an adult.
25:13
Yeah. The only reason they cared about
25:15
this, Help sibling relationship is because they were worried
25:18
that it would impact their parents relationship.
25:20
Yes. Had been together 10 years.
25:22
They go. Who cares?
25:23
Who? Yeah, at the star.
25:26
When she was living there and maybe he's like a week or two.
25:29
I don't know. But he's just like making Amelia
25:33
promised that she would vacuum. That was so specific.
25:36
Yeah, she was reading the room, but I wouldn't even thought that
25:39
would have happened at the time. If I only saw what they saw, or?
25:43
Yeah, because they were still putting up the act that they
25:45
didn't like, Each other or maybe the dad just knew, just
25:48
underlined knew he looked at the arm was like yeah I would he's
25:54
like damn if you think about it the way Benny immediately was
25:59
talking right about Theo, maybe the dad was on that little true.
26:03
He's a tall I can't deny her. No denying the tension into
26:07
lunch. So the tension ends up getting a
26:11
bit out of hangers Ang and it's almost like one day she just
26:15
decided to be Only this part of everything and shit.
26:19
Just go wild. I love the games of chicken that
26:21
they were playing. I wish that continued for a bit
26:23
more. Yeah.
26:24
Okay. So the bit that I was fucking
26:26
rolling around, laughing my asshole.
26:29
So they're in the spa for the first time and she's having some
26:32
wines because I lost my job and I'm becoming an alcoholic.
26:35
What are ya? So they're sharing someone
26:38
together and this is the first time they've had an actual chat
26:40
and that's when they were talking about the let's try
26:42
being nice to each other for an hour a day.
26:44
Yeah. And It was so good, so she's
26:48
getting off. They had drunk all this wine.
26:50
She was wobbly and she lost her footing, and then she fell.
26:53
Yes. And this is how it was
26:54
described. His catch is Clumsy and his huge
26:57
hands rub up against my chest. As I pull sideways, maybe even
27:01
upside down, I have no clue, which is up.
27:05
I just know that gravity is not existent right now and all I
27:08
could imagine was her like in the deep end of the pool just
27:12
rotated, his floating like, she's in safe, as they said,
27:14
there's no gravity. I'm just Rollin Rollin.
27:19
He's just drowning. Like this is fucked.
27:22
I still have a machine. I love so much because you know,
27:26
spot so shallow. Yeah, that's yeah.
27:29
It sounds like, let's just touch the floor and you know where you
27:32
are, who made it. So when she was in the Pacific
27:34
Ocean of his eyes, which is Floyd please like around, just
27:40
the way, it was described, he was sending me and all that.
27:45
Stop. And then he's like, sharp
27:47
Millie, you didn't sell your left and he was eating it off
27:53
with his eyes. It was the best thing that he's
27:55
ever seen in his life. Yes.
27:57
His teenage self is living with us violently ejaculating.
28:10
I was not looking so good. It's just a sequence of
28:15
hilarious things over and over. So they both were invited to
28:20
their own high school reunions which is like a, what horrible
28:25
timing for that matter, just doing really good things.
28:30
So, a month ago they could have explained that their lives were
28:33
pretty. I like, would you just lie?
28:37
Yes. Just say you're on a holiday to
28:39
visit your family. No one needs to know.
28:41
Yeah, she doesn't even go to hers anyway.
28:43
Exactly. So I wish she did hmm around
28:48
this time. They started getting horny for
28:49
each other because this is when they started playing those like
28:51
chicken games of he was going to like drop the towel.
28:54
She's very interested in his dick out of nowhere.
28:56
She wanted to know why he needed to know girl.
28:59
Circumference she wanted something length.
29:04
I hate inch by inch. She wanted to know direction of
29:07
Duke. Yeah, yeah, she's like, mmm.
29:10
When he resurfaced that memory from when she was gossiping,
29:12
with her friends from way back in school.
29:14
It's like a flip switched. And she's like, I do need to
29:18
know this information. Actually, I do, I suppose he's
29:21
on display 24/7. You would want to know.
29:24
Okay, so the scene. So they're sharing a bathroom
29:26
upstairs. Yeah, and she's pretty messy.
29:29
She leaves dirty clothes there. Tell me why this man.
29:34
Right. Exactly.
29:36
Where you going. Tell me why, rifles.
29:39
Don't tell me it was sitting on top.
29:40
You don't fear. It was a while.
29:43
It wasn't a rifle, he pushed it all into the corner.
29:47
Mmm, if I don't be lazy bones, just happens to his Brea always
29:52
feet the stickiness. It's a sticky.
29:56
Who is this a thing? Like, this is this a thing?
30:00
I don't want to ever know if it's a thing.
30:02
I think if I ever knew I knew that was a thing in real life
30:05
and I never want to come back from.
30:07
I know you just think that'll shock.
30:10
It's gonna be a thing. People be perverted like it, but
30:13
then where would be undies and we're constantly in danger,
30:17
especially since her coochie is not breathing ever, right?
30:23
So, he's into Chinese was really waking with her little crusty on
30:26
these hoes, like the this someone comfortable too lazy
30:31
ones her. What is she wearing these to
30:32
work? Surely No way.
30:34
Her poor couch doesn't have a chance.
30:37
She's wearing away. See shit.
30:38
And then Todd's moist togs. You can't tell me.
30:44
The good sister, doesn't at least her five-year season
30:46
entire book struggling to breathe.
30:54
Maybe every other undies like running on.
30:56
Dude, we're just being harsh. Yeah, maybe that's the only
30:58
reason why I picked it out. It's like this isn't the normal
31:00
parachutes that she wears. He was all over that.
31:05
Yeah, damn, hmm. The crash has not died.
31:09
No, he's been holding her flame for her for this entire time.
31:12
And if anything could probably got more.
31:14
Yeah, she's a curvy girl now and he knows that he has a chance
31:18
now. Yes, exactly.
31:20
She looked down to his dick neck.
31:21
Girls, like it on beach. Is this what she was before or
31:27
after he listened to it through the duel?
31:29
I think this was after because that was the one of the first
31:32
nights. Yeah, I think I After that
31:34
fumbled humble in the spies when she went to her room after him
31:37
Buzz one out. Yeah.
31:39
And he heard it and of course her ex hated toys.
31:43
Well I admit some of the stuff that she admitted and but he
31:48
kind of took it as a challenge. She's like, this is gonna be
31:51
easy. That's kind of how anything
31:54
super sexual started. Hey, she was talking about her
31:56
ex and he's like, I could make you come in less than a minute.
31:59
Yes. And she's just like intrigued.
32:02
She's like, tell me more. She was like, no.
32:04
And then she's like, actually, yes I can good for her.
32:08
She decided he was just hot enough to not care about
32:12
anything else. Is it bad that I liked pretty
32:15
much all the sex scenes? No, because they were never
32:19
like, I know I was sugar life happy?
32:24
Yeah, I'm so happy. There was one day.
32:28
That Carla said, I would appreciate if you pick books
32:30
that I've been highly reviewed. Yeah, and I picked this one out.
32:34
A win because I'm only being reviewed 23 times.
32:37
Yeah, it's only brand-new. She's a new author and it's
32:41
good. Yeah, it's yeah.
32:44
She did carry smutty scenes. Well considering the last book
32:48
we read that was when she was a new author.
32:51
Yes. And it's different ballgame.
32:53
Hmm. What I liked about these slut
32:55
scenes is that they weren't repetitive and you know they
33:00
would interesting and different. They all are different like we
33:03
do. Constantly get sex scenes.
33:05
We got up one really good sex scene.
33:08
Yeah, one really good fingering. Yeah, true.
33:13
There was. Yeah, that led to oral.
33:16
Yeah, there's like different like those different stuff going
33:17
on. It was all different types.
33:19
Oh yeah. I got it once and that's all you
33:21
need. Sometimes I know and it was good
33:23
because it wasn't just the typical always ready, bangs?
33:26
So we're just going to bang in Mission.
33:28
It not missionary but we just gonna be envy.
33:31
Yeah, the whole time, the rest of every other sex scene.
33:33
Yeah. Yeah, and it was good because it
33:35
had all the tension build up. And there was a reason why they
33:38
were doing it. There was tension.
33:40
And then there was that they couldn't really do it, but yeah,
33:44
the parents were always. Yeah, I couldn't exactly.
33:46
Be slamming, the headboard the upstairs above their parents as
33:50
bedroom, and then they were going to do it in the car, but
33:55
then they didn't, there was all these different like they did
33:58
and they do good. He was good, like good and the
34:01
first one, they had sectors on the fucking pool chair outside.
34:04
Which is on the ground level where the parents sleep.
34:06
Yeah, it was like, yeah. Yes, I loved it.
34:10
It was so good. The first time, they kinda like
34:15
started getting 20 in each other's orbit, who was when she
34:22
was trying to work out his dick size.
34:24
And she was like, showing me your, I know and he kind of
34:28
didn't know he was like next time you won't be saying no to
34:31
me, but he was like, goading are into it.
34:34
It was use like, sit down. Yeah, sit down.
34:36
On it. Yeah, he's like touch it.
34:38
Then it sounds like well, no. So funny.
34:41
She was impressed what a time. So I learned something about
34:45
myself and that's that. I like the slow Burns.
34:49
Yeah. Because it's just, I don't know.
34:50
It's just better slow bands when they're forced together because
34:54
proximity. Yes, like the slope and when
34:56
they're in two different areas. Yeah.
34:58
It's long and boring. Hmm.
35:00
And this was a forced proximity. That wasn't stupid.
35:03
No. Unbelievable somewhat because he
35:06
wanted it to happen. Yes.
35:07
Why he came home early? It wasn't like you guys are fake
35:11
married and living in a house together like young mother
35:13
books. I've read that doesn't make no
35:15
sense. Yes, I hate fake dating in
35:17
general. I knew you were gonna bring this
35:20
up, of course, to call my most hated because it never makes
35:24
sense. I thought you were going to be
35:26
really mad at me, it's not in anything.
35:29
That's not any why call? This is a fake dating yet
35:32
roommates because it really Is a small part of it, small little
35:36
sneaky. I just don't get why they needed
35:38
to fake date at his through Union.
35:40
Anyway, I think it was more because one he was using as an
35:45
opportune, right? Yeah.
35:47
And to, he was the pudgy nerdy pimply kid in school, so he not
35:51
only wanted to come back hot. He wanted to come back with hot
35:53
girlfriend, true. So it's the only time it does
35:57
work. Yeah.
35:58
It's the only fake dating that makes sense.
36:01
I know. And the thing is, I think he was
36:03
just trying to see if You would say yes.
36:04
So he could play out. Yeah.
36:05
See if them dating, even just for one night because I was,
36:08
yes, get all up in to touch ye-yes years into it.
36:14
Oh yeah. So she had got into a car, a
36:17
minor car incident with some guy.
36:19
Yeah she thought he was super hot and he asked her out on a
36:21
date. The night before the reunions.
36:24
And there was freaking out going.
36:26
Oh, she's going to cancel on me because she's met up this, dude.
36:29
Yeah, fuck Dylan. But do you know what's good?
36:31
He didn't do the typical toxic masculinity.
36:34
Unity thing of canceling or showing up on the date.
36:37
You just let her go on the day, would let it go.
36:40
But then he like, even in the text message, she's like, I know
36:44
you're probably having a good time.
36:45
Yeah. Are you okay?
36:46
Yeah, it was so good. And by that time, she was really
36:48
crying because ye had the Dylan guy and I wanted her to put out
36:53
immediately yet being a typical male that buy someone dinner or
36:57
a drink and he's like, you immediately have to give me sex.
37:00
He was so dumb about it though. Like I did.
37:03
That's so To pretend that's very typical though.
37:06
I yeah, I think he's pretty bold with it though.
37:09
Yeah. Because I don't think she had
37:10
any indication that she really want.
37:12
Like she agreed to a dinner date.
37:13
That doesn't really scream Netflix and chill.
37:17
No, but it doesn't make sense but also a lot of men do it.
37:21
So yeah. Like they put in so much effort
37:24
to just make a dinner reservation.
37:26
Did the bare minimum? Yeah, but I mean, should you
37:28
really be that up front with it? You obviously not going to get
37:30
high. Conflicted.
37:41
Yes. Because I love a bit of drama
37:42
but she is already conflicted because it's true.
37:48
I've never read a book where the problems actually makes sense.
37:51
I know, she's like I realism dreams coming true right now.
37:55
So like the fuck is going on. You like west of wacky doodle
37:59
kidnapping, out of nowhere. Oh yeah, mafia ties.
38:02
I like most. The or the just, the S, AC
38:06
invalid or where, where, where yeah, where is it, legitimately
38:10
all made sense. And it wasn't HEPA through
38:12
perfectly to, yeah, but she's not crying in my car and he's
38:16
like checking on her right? He's like, tell me where he is.
38:20
Yeah, fuck him up Dash him, but he didn't, which is probably
38:25
good. But I had all these cute bonding
38:27
moments where they'd sneak out and go for drives in his dad's
38:30
car. Another job so cute, just that
38:32
and caring about each. Of them texting each other and
38:35
shit. That was cute.
38:36
It was, it was really weird because it was like, I was
38:39
slowly building. Yeah, to relationship and yeah,
38:43
very cute and then she got him set up with a therapist.
38:46
Are you kidding a male? Who agrees to go to therapy in a
38:49
book? Talk to you.
38:51
Put a cold tea apartment. I was like, and I like a way
38:54
more aware not to go to the therapist.
38:57
He tried a couple of times, like I probably should have done
39:01
this. Yes, I literally probably a bit.
39:04
When you're traveling all over the world, she probably needs a
39:06
therapist to she definitely needs a thoracotomy in well,
39:09
100%, but I'm going to like steal fear wolf Miss Amelia.
39:14
I don't think we've ever had a book boyfriend where they are
39:18
not an asshole in some way. I don't know.
39:21
I will fight anybody for. It was Steve at this hole is is
39:25
your number one pick of the boyfriend male character.
39:29
Yes he is, my book boyfriend so far.
39:31
Yay it's Very rarely that either of us pick a book that one of us
39:37
look like, I know, funny. So things move on, and she's
39:42
doing some more events for Benny in the coffee shop, which is
39:45
really cool. But she's still saying, oh, I'm
39:47
still applying for jobs all the time.
39:49
Blah, blah. Yeah, she did an interview and
39:52
then was devastated when she didn't get it.
39:54
Yeah, and she really thought she got it to her.
39:56
She'll, she had it all the way back and she was just fully
39:59
crying and everything. Like it was so intense.
40:01
Yeah, they were kind of conscious about Parents though
40:04
they were sneaking around. They didn't want them to know.
40:06
And by this time they were buying it.
40:09
Yeah. And it was hot.
40:10
There were both like this is mind-blowing, the kitchen scene.
40:14
I'm lazy. And then she's like, deep
40:18
cleanse the day article. Yeah, it sucks.
40:22
If you had to go have a midnight snack, oh my God.
40:26
And you know what? In there somewhere, in the end
40:29
of the book, in the dad says he was getting up.
40:32
Something that? Yes all the time to eat.
40:34
The Pop-Tart. Yes.
40:35
So he could have popped in at any time, I know.
40:38
But even the mom goes, like, I already know, right?
40:41
She knew the whole time. The mom had the intuition.
40:44
Yeah. But the dad was oblivious,
40:46
somewhat. Yeah, he was like, I hope it
40:48
doesn't happen. Shut up old man.
40:49
It's not about you anymore. Know if anything you should be
40:52
happy that they're together and not with other people that they
40:55
even like each other. Yeah.
40:56
Because you know that there are two decent human beings so not
40:59
one of them is better than the other.
41:01
Yes. And they're not going to ruin
41:03
each other's lives. Yeah, things could be so much
41:05
worse and it's like move over your time is over, guys.
41:09
Like no one cares about you. You've been together for 10
41:11
years. Let it be about the young
41:13
people. Next time I eat pork up is after
41:17
they tenure of Union. Wow.
41:20
Yes. Just weird right?
41:23
Yes. And but it's, it's more because
41:25
she was kind of not going to, but then he said all them nice
41:30
things about her and she was like, oh, he actually does
41:32
respect me as human, right? Because like, he said those
41:35
things because he's been in love with you for like forever.
41:38
All 10 years, right? Yes.
41:41
And Beckett was out this party to which rude, can we all talk
41:44
about? What the fuck was that he's
41:48
fiance? So Beckett, who was her
41:51
boyfriend for four years happened to meet this girl at a
41:55
work thing. Six months months ago.
41:57
Yeah and she happens to go to Theo's High School reunions
42:03
because she was there. Classmate.
42:04
Yes, her name is scallops collet and the name's Ron.
42:08
Yes. Colin Beckett.
42:11
Yeah. Actually, I think it's pointed
42:12
out on there too. Yeah.
42:13
Yeah. He like, immediately puts a ring
42:15
on it after he breaks up immediately and they're engaged
42:20
at the reunions and Amelia's like what the fuck is this guy
42:23
doing here? First of all?
42:25
Yeah, and he wanted to talk to her at the coffee shop to
42:28
because he was surprised to see her and he's like, I really want
42:30
to talk to you. Yeah.
42:31
What for? But he was so So aggressive
42:34
because he's like you're absolutely not sleeping with
42:37
him. Do not sleep with him.
42:39
Don't touch her. You can't cheat on someone and
42:42
get them. Go to get married.
42:44
Get engaged to someone else and then try and tell your ex what
42:47
to do? Yeah, delusional delusion.
42:50
He didn't even like her at the end.
42:51
So why would he care about what she's doing with her life now?
42:56
And then he expected like, he was fully about to get in a
42:58
fight with him about it, but he expected his fiance to not think
43:02
something's up. Yeah.
43:04
Just fuck that. Dude the most fucked-up part of
43:07
it was when Scarlett eventually came to the coffee shop ages
43:11
later. Yeah.
43:12
And was like, I need to talk to you about Beckett and she goes.
43:15
I know that he was cheating on me with you are.
43:18
I know she said that and she's like all used were together for
43:21
two years. You know, we've been together
43:22
for like, six months, right? So back at pretended, that it
43:26
wasn't that serious. Yeah, which I mean, two years
43:29
can be seriously if you assume that it's that way.
43:33
A around, you're not the mistress.
43:36
If it's two years overseeing, I know it's like, it doesn't make
43:40
sense. It's like and then four years
43:42
once you'd be like old. Yeah, she literally goes
43:45
actually we were together for years and then Scala just
43:47
absorbs. She said she just sits there
43:49
processing, them lie and then Amelia's like, okay, so I guess
43:53
you're breaking up with him now and she's like, no, I'm not.
43:55
I love him. He's my soul mate.
43:57
We're together for another full apparently.
43:59
She used to be smart, so I don't get what went wrong.
44:02
Not very, but why would Slide up to someone who's who actively
44:07
was cheating that much? Because, you know, he's just
44:09
going to do it again. Yeah, yikes yikes.
44:15
And a meal is just like, can you get out of my fucking life?
44:17
She's like it. Lays a fucking, but yeah, I
44:20
would have made the time for her if she wanted to know the truth.
44:23
But if she's just going to do that with the truth I'd be able
44:25
get quite barely glad that they got to the point where she was
44:28
like oh I'm not going to leave him and really I was like get
44:30
the fuck out. This is like, why are you even
44:32
talking to me, then? Yeah, what's I don't she's like
44:35
why would I want to get back with him when I've got a hot
44:39
step brother. You know what?
44:42
My stuff is really hot. Yeah, you see not that the
44:46
reunions, but I mean what why did she have to check in with
44:50
Amelia to see if she was still frosting over?
44:52
I think it was just another. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
44:56
Oh my God, he's probably moved on to the next chick.
44:58
He's not worried about Amelia, he's probably with she's
45:00
delusional. He was such a weird place.
45:03
Point. Yeah, I was like, oh he is the
45:06
Scarlet Redemption but yeah, no, no, no none.
45:09
Well, it made sense though because some people just like
45:12
that though, I don't know how you could be like that.
45:15
But anyway, it was just your brain works.
45:17
It's fine. And then immediately, they are
45:20
getting off in the car after. Yeah, that was the first time
45:24
she gave him head and she was like addicted to his penis.
45:28
Yes, she was like from Recess yes.
45:31
And she was like, I need to be dicked.
45:33
Down every day morning forever, lunch.
45:37
Dinner, may not be the first time they had sex on the pool
45:41
chair, or whatever. He wanted her to like switch
45:44
positions and go on top and I was like my bro if you're trying
45:47
to not busting. That that's probably the worst.
45:50
Yeah, but then she started grinding in circles in my RK.
45:55
Yeah. It was like, dude.
45:56
What are you doing? He told her how to do it.
45:59
I know. And you know, what's really sad?
46:00
She was like, I've never been good at it and it's like, Got
46:04
it. Wasn't you right?
46:05
It was your kit. It was Beckett.
46:07
Can I just say that? Not only was Theo.
46:11
Pot, humanitarian goes to therapy but he was also a
46:17
consent King. What the fuck?
46:20
We never this is unheard of, it's never real.
46:23
The sex wasn't like extremely painful with her face cramped up
46:26
against some wall somewhere in my dungeon, the Sun that.
46:29
Yeah, yeah. And he asked if things were
46:31
okay. And I was like any He was
46:34
constantly checking on her daily and erase all those fine.
46:38
And not only that, he didn't want to fuck her in the backseat
46:40
of his car, right? Like I'm not doing it in public,
46:43
right? Like, I'm not going to get us
46:45
into trouble. He's like I'm not going to let
46:47
people see you. We're not going to be confined
46:51
to this little space. Yeah, so good.
46:55
And also, just generally the male characters in this book,
46:57
were actually people that had emotions because even the dad
47:01
had emotions, the are obviously had And yeah, and it was okay
47:06
even though the data and dropping a cheetah which was the
47:08
biggest, the biggest plot twist. It's funny.
47:12
I was not expect, I was like what?
47:14
So Amelia was already long term reeling over the fact that dad
47:18
moved on fast, again, six months and then Theo they're doing this
47:22
beachwalk deep and meaningful and he's like, yeah.
47:24
So actually they already were in an affair.
47:28
I feel like he was mad at her for something and that's why.
47:31
Yeah, I can't remember. I think it was Just the
47:34
situation. He was like we can never yeah
47:36
because she goes why are you such an asshole to my dad?
47:39
Yet? Was he abusive to you when we
47:41
were kids or something? Like, what is your problem with
47:43
him? Yeah.
47:43
And then that's when he lashed out and he's just like because
47:46
he cheated and she was like what the fuck?
47:49
I love that. There was a reason for him to be
47:51
mad because, yes, always never fucking reason for the male
47:55
character to be mad at anything and it made sense that he was
47:58
mad because his dad literally packed up and left to go to
48:01
Afghanistan and stay. In a instead of coming home.
48:05
Soon the out there and then he died because he knew that their,
48:08
the relationship with the mom was not going well.
48:11
So he kind of blames Bruce old meet Bruce.
48:13
Yeah. But his dad's and my because she
48:16
told him on the phone about like it's like I'm kind of glad that
48:21
was his problem because you wouldn't want him just to be
48:24
mad, but I do, yeah, if he's in pain, he's done nothing wrong.
48:28
Yeah, you know, without the cheating, and the millions just
48:30
like vomiting on the beach. Oh my God.
48:33
Because Kayla lip and down the wall.
48:36
Your mom died with cancer. So your dad seems like the
48:39
biggest skis, because he was cheating on her, probably why
48:42
she was sick too. I think he was cheating right
48:45
before they found out. Yeah.
48:47
And she declined really quick, so they might have tried to call
48:50
off the thing. But then they met each other
48:53
again in the group for widowers. Yeah.
48:57
So, but what are the odds? What are the odds?
49:00
Both of their Partners dying? Yeah.
49:03
Oh well, So turns out mom and dad also good after all, right,
49:07
but moral compass isn't exactly pointing a personal way.
49:10
Le sorry, I would be like, well, they can't tell us what to do,
49:15
considering, we're consenting adults.
49:17
Now I think that's the range they went to.
49:19
Yeah, but because they got caught.
49:21
Yeah, that night because she was crying herself to sleep every
49:25
day. I was like, I'm not gonna let
49:26
you cry yourself to sleep. Yep, and I'm busting the next
49:29
morning. Was it earthquake?
49:31
Oh yeah. It's checking on me earlier.
49:33
Then he was like what he's doing but wouldn't you be like it's
49:36
just been an earthquake. You don't know what's going on
49:39
in the room. I think they will half-naked.
49:42
Yeah. Smuggling so.
49:45
Yeah. But the odds are.
49:46
We're dad to be like, what the fuck are you guys doing?
49:49
It's like and then everything else story.
49:51
Yeah. Because he's like, you cheated
49:53
on her hand and then the mom came in everyone's fucking run,
49:56
always crying braces, crying hoping to be lose packing a
50:00
shit. I don't think the parents had
50:03
that much of a Right? To be that mad about them.
50:06
I don't think Molly was ever mad.
50:08
No, she accepted it almost right away.
50:10
Bruce was like pissed. Yeah.
50:12
Fuckin Theory with his abs, Dan other things shit, fucking
50:18
wanking with my daughter's. Undies Fucking instrument
50:23
rating, the pool. You think he'd be more mad at
50:26
the oh buddy. You just cry together?
50:28
I know but then things would calm down there were in a hotel
50:31
for two nights or something. Yeah.
50:32
So they they can't they came back and they each had a
50:35
separate conversation with their parents which is nice and we
50:37
could you imagine having to spend this romantic getaway you
50:40
could had in the hotels. Like, she's crying.
50:44
I know, I would have got so much ubereats.
50:47
Yeah. Or room service because I think
50:49
they've got free agent. Jeremy bound.
50:52
I'm usually hundred a nice hotel.
50:55
You can put the sides away from. You can be as loud as you want.
50:58
Yes. Just bang it all the surfaces.
51:02
Yeah. Oh, I didn't lie.
51:03
It was bad, though. It wasn't that bad?
51:06
No, the parents go over it. So with this relationship with,
51:11
as do you think that they would make it long term?
51:13
Yeah. Yeah.
51:14
Probably, if she stopped being as.
51:17
She said, Runaway Bride. Yeah, if she stopped, freaking
51:21
out about it. Because he was very loving.
51:25
Yeah. Well the time they find straight
51:27
he wasn't like his skis. Know besides the underwear no
51:32
but she didn't know about will put that one away.
51:37
Consistently there for her consistently college but it woke
51:40
up for work on. That was a different time.
51:46
That was pretty crusty on these. Yeah, the thing that I threw me
51:52
for a loop was that end bit where she was having a nightmare
51:55
about being pregnant? I thought that was a real hard.
52:01
Jesus Christ. But also then being pregnant
52:10
Sierra and 3rd straight away. I was like this didn't turn into
52:15
a pregnancy torque. I'm glad he got a job and they
52:18
move. Yeah.
52:19
So they're in their own apartment at least.
52:20
Yeah. And they're trying to make it
52:21
work and He's accepted the fact that she can make a good job out
52:26
of what she's doing and she's working towards getting her own
52:30
franchise. Yeah, bro.
52:31
Stealing a partner. It is Alana and starting a whole
52:34
new one. So then she would be kind of
52:36
like a comb. Yeah, that like, that's pretty
52:38
big. I mean, it kind of worked in
52:40
Alma anyway because you didn't do the movie thing and it
52:43
worked. Yep.
52:44
But you know how she was having the nightmare about that when
52:47
should wake up and he gave her life for different nightmares?
52:49
Yeah. He's like, which one is it?
52:51
The one where we're twins? The one where our parents is
52:53
pregnant is like a barn is chapter.
53:02
I'm like how are you twins separated?
53:03
At Birth, so good.
53:22
That's it. Is that pretty much everything
53:24
that happened? Yeah, yeah, that's how easy of a
53:26
read. It was very easy.
53:28
Yeah, first two chapters of her being obsessed condo with the,
53:32
ER, before seeing him was a bit much, but other than that.
53:35
Yeah, despite its low Scout nicely.
53:39
Well, it was scrumdiddlyumptious.
53:42
Mmm, num num. Nom nom, nom nom.
53:46
It had just the right amount of smog different smart.
53:49
It wasn't boring smart, it wasn't repetitive it.
53:52
As in all different places or different things, it was never
53:55
repeated. And I appreciate because
53:57
sometimes we read a book and they'll have sex first time and
54:01
they do a lot of Foul Play, they have good sex.
54:04
This wasn't like an extended sex scene either.
54:07
So it wasn't like annoying like too long, but then the next one
54:10
they always do like they just shove it in.
54:12
And that's it. Yes.
54:14
Yep. And that's is rinse.
54:15
And repeat. Yeah.
54:16
Rinse and repeat. It was like one kitchen scene,
54:20
where he made her cum fingering her.
54:22
Yeah, back of the car seat, the girl who'll chair and then at
54:26
the event. Yeah, they're little hidey
54:28
cupboard, or whatever the fuck they were in the corner.
54:30
Yeah. Is it cooled off of this coffee
54:33
shop? No, I'm sorry.
54:34
Yeah, but it's 20 water. Oh, that would have been the
54:37
best. If you only walked in should
54:39
have been like what the fuck? I thought you swear, I'll be so
54:46
good. Just for an extra the fuck you
54:48
for no reason. Did you go, Tony When she was
54:54
like, having a go at me and she's like, you led me on, you
54:57
called me over to sleet and he's like, I did not do any of the
55:00
things, it's fine. She's just a cancel.
55:02
Yeah, she's just a kid Syrian. She's just really attached.
55:05
She'll stick to the hot guy. Yeah, I mean, you probably would
55:09
be but if he's not texting you back, it's kind of an indication
55:12
that he's not into you but don't want you feel worse because he
55:16
made you come over and then yeah use only made out and then he
55:19
decided to do about. Well, that's when my ego Take
55:22
over on Adams admit. Oh my God, you guys did me.
55:26
I'd be like, who are you again? I don't even know who this bitch
55:30
is exactly. I'd be like, all right.
55:32
No hottest guy in town. The only hot guy in the whole
55:36
town. It's funny how he, the
55:39
friendships, and I didn't really matter from the reunions that
55:41
Seth guy. He's like, I probably should
55:43
have put more effort into friendships like yeah.
55:44
Okay. You probably should have a yeah.
55:47
Yeah. Now than people mattered.
55:49
Yeah. I do like at the reunions.
55:51
She wanted all the tea. That would be me.
55:53
It would want everything. Yeah, it's even better if it's
55:56
not your high school. Yeah.
55:57
Because then you get to just fully judge based on nothing.
56:00
Yeah. That would have been the best
56:01
part of it. So what do we eat?
56:04
What do we want to write this out of?
56:05
Do we write it out of Dick next? That's what I was.
56:11
Yeah, I was thinking for dick necks out of five.
56:16
Yeah, I know you're so happy because he picked it.
56:18
I'm thinking you're very nervous and honestly I didn't Either
56:23
idea. I was going to be beautiful.
56:24
I just remember a message you. And I was like it's a bit risky,
56:27
right? The pick, because it's not very
56:30
positive about a new. Yeah, I'm doing a 5.
56:34
It had everything I wanted. I love reads that easy, mmm, a
56:38
little dramatic. Any other time your Pub I
56:41
probably would have been like a four or five like between right.
56:44
But I think it's a lost book. Piss me off so much.
56:47
I'm right in my mind I'm like shit it's a five.
56:52
Compared to the stock over. I might be is a 4 because it for
56:56
once we had something that didn't just have everything
56:59
toxic romanticized but yeah, there was no misogyny.
57:02
Yeah, I hate that when it's just for a man to size when it's
57:05
horrible, horrible behavior of snow and girls the girl wasn't
57:08
too much of a pick me know, she wasn't too much of a pussy.
57:12
I feel like her pygmy B was just her not coming to the terms that
57:16
she lost her. Really good job in LA and had to
57:19
move back with parents, like it was justified and it was Male
57:22
centered. Pick me?
57:24
No, it wasn't. There was no matter centered
57:26
pick me because she was just, like, I'm over back at whatever
57:28
she didn't care. Well, I guess this one's not
57:31
really for shock value. If you want something to push
57:33
you over the edge or push the boundaries, this isn't the book
57:36
for you. Yeah, yeah.
57:37
And if you want a five out of five spicy, this probably isn't
57:40
the book for you. It's not spicy.
57:42
No. It's like a 12-2 spicy.
57:45
The only thing that added to the spice was that they could have
57:48
got caught. Yeah, it would've been good.
57:50
If they nearly got caught proper It's not a dad just running into
57:53
the room because the earthquake. Yeah, yeah I wanted them to
57:55
nearly get caught. Dad's gonna walk into the
57:57
kitchen. Get a midnight snack.
57:59
That would have been more spicy. Yeah.
58:01
Aw like this splashing around in the pool that wakes you up.
58:03
If your ass Lee. I'm assuming they just he has
58:06
hearing aids. Yeah.
58:07
Maybe maybe they're just they sleep really well like they're
58:11
not really splashing around. A lot of it was them just
58:13
drinking and jacuzzi which is already sauce.
58:16
Yes like yeah to at all in the jacuzzi.
58:19
I would never want to go on a Jacuzzi.
58:21
Really Yeah, so if they turn that on nighttime, the parents
58:25
would know their, you know, their neighbors around there was
58:27
that they're like the fuck are these kids doing binoculars or
58:31
that? If they're in a two-story they
58:32
could look right down. Yes they gave his goodness.
58:37
I just saw this funny how the entire book pretty much played
58:39
out in the pool. They were just in the pool.
58:42
Yeah, all that was well I suppose if you're trying to keep
58:44
them at home, playing grounded yeah, you've only got a pool.
58:49
Yeah, it's not cover so it's not Suspected mr.
58:53
Good stuff. I did, I've never read a book
58:56
that hasn't pissed me off in some way.
58:59
This was very non triggering. These you're just slow.
59:02
I was surprised that's it. Why rated it's a highly?
59:05
Because I'll just not triggered once.
59:07
Yeah, I was really scared. You were gonna hate it.
59:10
I don't think I've ever hated. I definitely have, and it's all
59:14
because you hated reading it. The formatting was horrible, or
59:17
whatever. I, yeah, it wasn't because you
59:19
hated hated it because there's always, if you Book.
59:23
It's fun to know why, hmm, because it tells you more about
59:27
yourself because you're like, why do I hate it?
59:29
That's true. And I am a big, I think a lot of
59:32
the times I'm a big fantasy. Big series.
59:36
I don't ya like Standalone. Yes, too much.
59:38
And I think I've got a pail through dandelions and series of
59:42
two different things into different.
59:45
They're written differently everything.
59:47
So sometimes I've got to light power through the yeah and I'm
59:50
trying not as much of a harsh B this because sometimes I expect
59:54
too much from things and like, sometimes it's just a harmless
59:57
lot and it's fine. Yeah, yeah.
59:59
I'm gonna take the grading system down a bit.
1:00:02
That's what I think literally, no problem.
1:00:07
Yeah, nothing. Like if you want something super
1:00:09
complex, this isn't going to be it.
1:00:12
No, no, this is one. You can take on holiday
1:00:14
thankful. You're not going to be annoying,
1:00:16
he's not going to bomb you out the fucking when they have a
1:00:20
problem in the book. It's not ridiculous.
1:00:22
Fucking pig. Yeah exactly, yeah nor
1:00:25
kidnapping. Thanks a lot.
1:00:27
Thanks a lot of our sexual assault.
1:00:29
Thank the lord. We needed a break from that.
1:00:31
I hate when you read a book and yet there's no trigger warning.
1:00:34
Yes. But, and now I call this casual
1:00:37
little assault in there. I know.
1:00:38
And then the ball carrier has redeemed or whatever.
1:00:41
Like, right, I'll do not redeemable ever not in real
1:00:44
life, not in book. No, no, or they try and be
1:00:47
gross, perfect of in gross. I don't like that.
1:00:49
Yeah, it has been suggested. Tested that we read haunting
1:00:53
Adeline. So that's potentially next we
1:00:57
shall see well, I'm glad someone else suggested if you're okay
1:01:00
with it now, because I just don't know if I didn't know,
1:01:04
because I thought you were saying that you weren't sure if
1:01:06
we should read it. No.
1:01:08
Could I wasn't at all? Because you have to read the
1:01:11
first in the second. Okay?
1:01:13
Well let's just read haunting Adeline and then mobile first
1:01:17
and then we can just decide after that's it.
