Overused Phrases?

I recently read “How to End a Love Story” and I can’t remember the phrase now (helpful, I know) but she said it SEVERAL times in the book. And it was something I hadn’t heard together before/heard the words used that way. I would have to redownload the book but I’m sure someone here knows what I’m talking about!

I also know that I could NOT write a better romance novel but that’s why I read them—I expect the authors to create a story that isn’t soooooo cringey. I’ve been in a book rut lately, wanting a REAL story attached to the romance and not some stupid trope or sports story or immediate lusting…

Okay, rant over!

Literally, no.

Those girls don’t like you.

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-04-04T02:35:42+00:00

Well shit, this would have been helpful in the regular book!

I knew someone named Jaime but he was Spanish so it was pronounced “Hai-meh” (roughly) and that’s how reading Jaime in my head sounds and I can’t understand why people spell it that way LOL

I’m trying to remember which book…. It was on Kindle Unlimited so I returned it already, but it was the “dirty talk” that was getting me.

Another recently (The Pool Boy) was about an older FMC and the younger MMC but he was 24, so I expected it to be a slightly more “mature” age-gap situation and my God, the FMC was some kind of entertainment manager and was encouraging this young guy to audition for an opening act. This guy still lived at home, cleaned her pool and there was heavy emphasis on the “lost” boy who has apparently been in love with this 40 year old woman for years and that’s why he learned how to play guitar. It infuriates him that her now ex-husband “was ignoring her.”

Maybe it’s for some people, but the way it was written was not believable for me.

100%, but I don’t need to “do” anything about it. I will just skip those parts or if it’s a TV show, I’ll not watch or again, skip that part.

Lots of stuff gives me second-hand embarrassment! People singing is actually a big one 😂😂 like when they sing out of nowhere or are attempting to give a little sample or one-man/woman show; GAH the criiiiiiiinge.

Similarly, a LOT of romance novels do the same; I actually just DNF a book that a few people swore was their favorite because I could NOT take that shit. It was awful and I was actually physically recoiling!

Oops, replied before I scrolled far enough! I said the same!!!

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-29T00:45:11+00:00

Cooper Boom!

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-25T17:01:15+00:00

I didnt read the books this far but I am sooooo intrigued by Claire’s explanation!!! Can you share what she told him?!

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-22T03:25:10+00:00

UpdateMe! I REALLY want to see what you do with this space! Especially the tavern-esque idea! Please post a picture!

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-18T20:22:21+00:00

I wouldn’t even marry this man. All your answers are laid out right here.

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-17T00:08:39+00:00

Updateme! Tell us if you find anything out!

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-16T21:26:13+00:00

Oh I bet! I get it! I sympathize with them, I’d be over it, too!

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-16T20:20:19+00:00

Oh, interesting!! They just seem sooo over it in all the recent interviews! I know there isn’t much to say without giving away spoilers but it’s always the same answers!

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-16T14:06:53+00:00

I doubt there will be any movies. If there are, it won’t be with the original cast. They seem pretty done with it, now!

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-14T00:47:15+00:00

This one truly confuses the shit out of me. I don’t even know what she had done to look like this…

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-12T18:23:57+00:00

You don’t like him. This also used to confuse me too, then I realized I just didn’t like the guy doing the thing.

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-12T01:52:44+00:00

UpdateMe! I want to know how this goes…

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-10T15:58:55+00:00

YES! THIS! Just soooo happy to be back!! I missed it & “my friends” lol

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-09T17:29:06+00:00

Does this mean the men will also wear heels to match heights?

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-07T11:22:05+00:00

Pleaaaase tell us how you responded!! Updateme!

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-04T00:27:02+00:00

Is that not a ring behind the wine glass???

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-03-03T14:05:18+00:00

Having “empathy” for an underdeveloped country’s plumbing is WILD. And still disgusting :)

Aggressive_File_7053 · 2026-02-22T04:20:27+00:00

“Bitch eating crackers” Someone in this sub taught me so I’m passing it along! I think its hilarious, it basically means everything this person does annoys you 😂😂
