Check-ins/Updates:

Before I begin:

SBU is influential 😏🤗😂😇

Monday: Diary Entry – Chapter 5

Alot to unpack 😊😇 Didn’t get to read The Secret, but, in a general way, traveling somewhere for someone about to give birth 🤔 Whereas The Secret takes place while in transit, TOOLAS takes place at the destination 🤔 Funny 😄 😂 meet cute ☺️ Drunken antics 🥴 The assassination plot was unexpected 🤔 and the exposed boob 😂 Still too early to judge what I think, but I’m intrigued 🤔 

• Another kidnapping for consistency please 🙏🏾 Wilson ♥️ reminds me of Jeffrey from Fresh Prince 😂 History of twins 🤔 This will come back later I feel… The doctor 🧑‍⚕️ is in 😏 Sad Mary’s Bookish change was a result of Eric’s death ☠️🥲
• Don’t notice age as much 🤔 but i think she’s 26?! Grant involved in assassination plot 🤔 Only validating suspicions and theories 👆🏼Previously thought the revealed boob was funny 😄 but in front of Dickens?! 😂 It is true… Where is Eleanor’s husband? Pissing meet cute ☺️😂😇
• The nip slip 😂🤣 West (🤞🏼 spelling’s right). I associate scoundrel behavior with being flirtatious 😂🤣😇😊

Tuesday: Chapters 6 – 12

Yesterday’s chapters conveniently ended with Mary being ruined 😏 😱 It’s a sign the plot is paced well 😊 The way Claire told they’re parents 😂🤣 Realized I like marriage of convenience as a trope 😏 Usually after a scandal 🤣😇 ✊🏽 to Mary for refusing West’s proposal. Got more on page time with Grant 🤔 He IS suspicious 🤨 End of the section was a ball where I suspect more 😂😏 will happen, West is growing more and more attracted to Mary 😍

• Great summary as always 😊 Claire the morning after 😂🤣 Mary persistent to investigate 🧐 Mouse 🐁🥰😊 Lists 😍🥰 I reacted the same way when West was telling Grant 🙅🏽‍♀️
• Age is so important in the land of HR

Wednesday: Chapters 13 – 17

They both exploring the assassination plot 🧐 and when Mary goes to a ball, West takes her home 🏡 Carriage shennagans 😂🤣 Mary discovering the next day, the note 😱 and that pushes their marriage of convenience 🙌🏽 The pages dedicated to the wedding night > wedding itself 😂🤣 Mary binds West 😏 West finally sleeps soundly 😴 

• Carriage 🔥 French letters 🙌🏽 and relinquishing control to Mary 🙌🏽 Hrant is suspicious 🤨 🤔 The fart cushion 😂🤣 Reading together is nice 🥰😁 Liking West A LOT more after these chapters 💡 

Thursday: Chapters 18 – 24

The chapter summaries are super helpful 😊 🙌🏽 Mary the morning after 😏 Ashington being Mary’s brother 😁 Mary and West seriously 🧐 assassination plot, finding out more details 🤨 Nice to be in a new city 🏙 🌆 now 

• Decided to just finish the book already 😂😍 🤷🏽‍♀️ if its just me but getting 😵‍💫 jumping in and out of the story
• Thought zi read chapter 23 already but turns out I didn’t 😊🤦🏼‍♀️🤯 Also glad Mary didn’t leave with Eleanor

Friday: Chapters 25 – Epilogue

Finished this Thursday, usually read the chapters morning of the day of 🤔 full on investigation mode, moved to forefront of story (like the plot but also here for the romance). Trip without servants 🤞🏼More danger banging?! 😊😏😂 Not really feeling the scoundrel-ness of West 🤔 With Mary and West splitting up ✊🏽 Holding Carlson by the balls 🙌🏽😂 Danger bang 😂😏😊👏🏽🙌🏽🔥 Really see here how sex can be Thera prayer fota relationship

End of book 📖

The addition of the crime solving component, though fattening up the plot and story, but affected the romance 🤔 No kidnapping 🙅🏻‍♀️ but there’s danger banging 😏 ⚠️
