My favourite quote in this book is, "You're not getting knifed, you're getting wifed." 💀💀💀 And THANK YOU because I was also so GROSSED OUT by him licking her STOMACH in PUBLIC after knowing her for like literally 30 minutes?!?! What?!?! If you want another bizarre, wild ride of a book, check out "Credence" by Penelope Douglas lol. Just... wow. It was so bonkers, I couldn't look away. 😂
I came here to comment on how I liked that this ended oddly positive with the affirmation to other writers to stop doubting their writing and publish....then you actually ended with "The world's a terrible place" and I died 😂😂😂
I generally DNF books I'm not liking but sometimes you just end up hate reading the whole thing in horrified disbelief. 😅😅😅 Amazing review and thank you for suffering through the entire book to deliver it!
WTF did you just read?? 🤣 I would say I'm sorry for your experience, but we wouldn't have gotten this magnificent drunken review. My favorite part was when you collapsed to the floor. I screamed! 🤣😂
The instant replay of the book drop killed me. Lmao!!! I am so torn. On the one hand, I feel totally bad about sending you My Killer Vacation, but on the other hand this drunk review is one of the best things I have experienced all year. so far. I sent you book money so that you can sage this reading experience from your soul. Enjoy your weekend, Jess!
Your reenactment of Miles' lines are hilarious, but remembering he's an ex cop from Boston and that all of this is being said in the thickest Boston accent? I have been sent to the stratosphere.
Jess: "I'm gonna set a timer for 20 minutes and we better not go over it Jessica" Immediately starts talking about her new chap stick and not the book. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The "uses Chapstick, heaves the biggest sigh" is doing so much work at the beginning I stillllll have this one hanging around the TBR and it's getting to the point that I might not even be able to hate-read it
Oh my GOD. I had the exact same experience of begging my mother not to make me finish reading Great Expectations. 😂 So she let me just watch the movie instead.
Speaking of the phrase, "cute as a button," I read an M/M romance novel last year where a grown man actually referred to another grown man (his love interest) with that exact phrase, verbatim. And that wasn't even close to the extent of the infantilization of that character. As a queer man myself, I was HORRIFIED! If I hadn't been reading a digital version of that book, I would have lit it on fire.
Thank you for this. My husband and I had a really difficult week as we had to say goodbye to our precious kitty. I started to watch this and then stopped because I needed to show it to him. It did not disappoint. At one point my husband said he needed some tequila now too. 😂 You made us laugh and I thank you for it.
I have been hoping to find someone who also hated this book. I may never read another Tessa Bailey again I hated it so much. Also, a bullet was dodged when they changed the cover, that first cover, not it, would not have bought it.
Tessa B. is one of the worst popular authors and I didn't like her writing from her first book I never understood the hype. I am glad people finally see, and I blame tiktok again, they always hype the worst quality written books :/
What did the panda do to anyone? "If you think your book isn't good enough, PUBLISH." LOLOL Your readings gave me life. You're so funny!!!! Thank you for suffering through this one!
I mean, of course take care of your health and all that, but yes, if you see more drunk reviews of bad books in your future, I would be very much here for it. This was spot on and hilarious. BUT: for some reason, I want to know more about the brother who was sad about the panda. He seems sweet?
I am LIVING for this rant. I have not read this book. Barely heard anything good about this book. And the "good" things weren't what i would consider good. So i noped the hell out of reading this book. But honestly, you make me want to read it just to see how bad it is and rage right along with you. Im not, though. I trust you.
I don’t drink often but I would have to drink tequila in order to read a Tessa Bailey book. I tried once and no ma’am. Love the book drop. Better than a mic drop.
100% agree, but the bad boy golfer one was just ok, it was not as good as the vine mess duology, or the sisters duology. I hope the next book is better, though.
this was my first (and last) tessa bailey book. the way i was hysterically laughing through all of the sex scenes 😂 loved the slow-mo book throw. best depiction of what this reading experience was
