really appreciated how the narrative didn't excuse Otis' toxic behaviour, but at the same time, he wasn't vilified, it was really about showing: "here's this guy, he's so not perfect and he makes mistakes and he has issues, but it doesn't make him an inherently bad person" + there was a lot of focus on both him and Greta putting in the work to become better persons From here, Johnny becomes attracted to Prudence. Things get complicated when she encounters Mary ( Marjorie Reynolds), one of Johnny's colleagues, whom she assumes is in love with him. I've seen a few authors do this, so I thought I would, too. First off, I want to thank anyone who wants to give this book a chance, regardless if you DNFed or not. Next, I want to just mention that this book won't be for everyone, from its length to the flawed college characters to its content—and if you’re a skim or dialogue reader, then this definitely isn’t for you. Yes, it's a spicy Romance, but it's also about people that make mistakes and are discovering themselves. Greta and Otis are two college kids trying hard to find their footing in life, while also falling in love—and coming to terms with what that really means (hence why it's an emotional slow burn). Regardless, if you end up giving this novel a chance, I hope you guys enjoy it! Please do not read if you're underage, as the sexual content and conflicts discussed might not be digested and understood in its intended manner. Midnight Kisses follows our two main characters Greta and Otis. Both start a fwb relationship but as they continue feelings start to blur. I can't really pin point my feelings about this book and character. I didn't love it but I also didn't hate it. One one hand, it was one of the most sex positive, lgbtq positive and diverse books I've read in a while. However, these reasons don't take away the fact that I found it hard to connect to both Greta and Otis.

but to be fair, this double standard stems almost solely from me being tired of decades and decades of sexist narrative where female characters must be chaste and devoted only to "The One" while the guy does what he wants when they're not together, so it's to even the score; and yes, also because I will always support women's wrongs 💁‍♀️) The number-one thing to do in a relationship is to be there for a partner, through the good, the bad, and the ugly.” It is an extraordinary piece of work, a perfect balancing act with terror on one side and love on the other. This exceptionally well-written novel is all about suspense, thrill, and drama, including the relationships between generations and what happens between long-standing friends. The characters are sensitively portrayed, as is their recovery, and the hopeful ending is realistic. Readers of domestic dramas will be enthralled. For those who love gritty, somewhat nasty mysteries with weird, and exotic settings in one of the world’s most famous cities, this thriller mystery will satisfy you. It is perfect for a long plane trip or a rainy weekend. Midnight Kisses by Jeanine Bennedict PDF/ePub DetailsI've seen a few authors do this, so I thought I would, too.

You’re the moon and I’m the tides, and no matter your phases, I’m tethered by your gravity and moved by your existence. And that’s all I want.” Her eyes tear from me to stare at the patterns of my sheets, and so quietly that I have to lean forward to catch her words, she devastates me, collapsing my reality into hers, the boundaries between our worlds intertwined. i loved the dynamic between otis (a golden retriever) and greta (a grump) so much. they go through some of the best character development i’ve ever read and i truly appreciate how real their struggles in life were, it adds that emotional depth i look for in romance books But that’s how it always is, isn’t it? Someone becoming important doesn’t happen all at once. They seep in. It’s nature. It always takes a small seed to grow something profound.”
