The Words: An Enemies-to-Lovers Standalone Romance

Product Information

How do you make someone believe you’re sorry when you’re living your dream because you stole it from them?” I didn't particularly like either character but at least Phoenix stayed true to himself and managed to redeem his actions by the end. Can't say the same for Lennon who was indecisive all the time. Her hot / cold attitude was frustrating. She had a real issue with Phoenix but she'd put it aside all the time cause the sex was great or he was in pain and she was the only one who could understand and support him. But every now and again she would remember why she was upset and fight with him again. if Lennon has a million fans, then i am one of them. if Lennon has ten fans, then i am one of them. if Lennon has only one fan then that is me. if Lennon has no fans, then that means i am no longer on earth. if the world is against Lennon, then i am against the world. i shouldn’t have liked this book. i mean, i really, really, really shouldn’t have liked this book. bcos this was everything i hate in a romance. Phoenix was everything i hate in a hero. i absolutely loved lennon and phoenix. phoenix’s love for lennon is so strong, he would do literally anything for her and vice versa. even before any love confessions, they both showed each other how much they loved one another through various forms and it was beautiful. after everything these two went through separately and together, they always had each other.

Writing songs was my outlet for all the pain I held inside. It’s what made me go on living when life got too hard." When talking about large chested, plus-size women) Sadly, I didn't get the consolation prize that tends to come with being a big girl.When I tell you that both of these characters are damaged, I really mean it. There were times where I wanted to scream to the ceiling and shake both of them. They're as far from perfect as they come, and their decisions show it. I wanted to hate both of them for some of the stupid things that they did. But they're also authentic, multilayered, and so well developed, that you simply can't help but fall further under their spell. Phoenix and his tortured soul, and Lennon and her hidden insecurities and broken heart. You’re going to change the world one day, Phoenix. And when that happens, I’m going to cheer you on from the sidelines with the biggest smile on my face.” i think i’ll just bullet point what i didn’t like, bcos it wasn’t that deep. just enough for me to kinda roll my eyes and move on: Unless it comes in the form of a 5'2", feisty, loudmouth girl who just so happens to hate your guts. I really wish the h had made the H wait a little bit before jumping in bed with him after 4 years. Yeah, he basically *takes* the first time 🥵... but after her very desperate behavior in high school, I wish she'd been a little more reluctant to eff like bunnies when they were older. At that point he hadn't proved that he'd changed in any way. So, it felt a little cringe that she just opened her legs without much of a protest. I would have liked more tension around that. Or even better, HIM manning up and really trying to earn her trust. Didn't happen that way tho. 😐 #womp-womp

OM drama - the h gets friendly with the H's bandmate in the 4 years later timeline. He kisses her, and the H freaks out. Also, during the 4 years they are apart, the H goes to see the h at school, and he sees her with her boyfriend, and gets upset and leaves without talking to her. this book had me tearing up so many times too. the side characters were amazing as always in ashley jade’s books. lennon and her dad’s relationship was so wholesome. skylar, the loyal friend we all love and need! i adored her. i was also SERIOUSLY crushing on storm 😍. and quinn was just the funniest character ever😭now, as for the present.. i could very well sum it up with a clown emoji and call it a day, because that's how i felt reading it. it was a SHIT SHOW for sure, but i enjoyed the hell out of it and ignored every possible red flag 🤠 Officially, I’m your new sober companion. But unofficially? I’m here to ruin you when you least expect it… and I want you stone-cold sober when I do it.”

the hero just being an asshole and saying awful things to the heroine (my heart hurt so good from this) I’m not.” Pure contempt fills her voice. “Let me put it this way. If I was on fire, and the only way to extinguish it was to have sex with you… I’d beg someone to pour gasoline on me.” i'm not sure i'd recommend this to everyone, because the drama can be tiresome for sure. i think low expectations worked for the best here. if you read this, know that it'll be crazy and looong, but IMO the romance is worth it 🤠What's the matter, fatty? Cat got your tongue?" She laughs. "Oh, that's right, it can't. Because your mouth is always stuffed with food." (Just a single example out of a lot.)
