Like they went from resisting each other to being like “oh ur mine only i own you now” kinda thing aaaaaandddd I would have appreciated a buffer period in between.

Somewhat interested in Hal, but then he goes and gets obsessed with Stella, and for some reason, I could not see why.The speaker is seeking some sort of elevation from her normal life and someone to accomplish this with.

She used a minor as an incubator; she bullied her friends, emotionally tortured her stepdaughter, and treated people appallingly. And then twist and turn me through some poignant, sweet, smart, emotional moments that were completely unexpected. So much so that I printed and framed it many years ago and it has a special place on my bedroom wall. Set in the film world of 1950s along the Italian Riviera, author Lucy Foley sweeps readers up into a world of luxury at the Cannes Film Festival. The first stanza outlines that she cares much more about what this person “ache[s] for” than what their life consists of at the present moment.Although mostly a romance/love story, there weren’t any tacky, over the top sex scenes and focused a lot more on the emotional side of love than the physical which I liked. In July 2014, it was revealed that production on the film had concluded, with Logan Marshall-Green, Michiel Huisman, Emayatzy Corinealdi, Lindsay Burdge, and John Carroll Lynch starring.
