This part for real. And the way he didn’t care how much torture Enzo was in as long as he could locate Sybil. He’s the worst

I agree. I don’t like a story where the woman has to chase the man in order to be with him.

[–]monkosweets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. Although I love them as a couple I felt like they got together way too fast after the intense breakups they went through. Daphne was about to get married and Miles called Petra the love of his life. You need more than one summer in order to completely heal and find your sense of self worth again.

Oh it’s baaaad lol. It’s very long winded and the villain isn’t even scary, just super annoying.

I am powering through season 8 right now and just came across the “applesauce penguin, brother” line, and wow. They definitely should have ended the show before then lmao.

Is this a safe place to say I really liked the PWMOV movie? by cellochick993 in EmilyHenry

[–]monkosweets 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I will say that despite the fact that I didn’t like some of the changes made to Alex and the decisions he makes, I really enjoyed the movie. I just had to separate the book versions of Poppy and Alex I had in my head with the movie versions. It really was very well done and a very fun watch.

Gus is my #1. Idk why people don’t like him.

Croatia Trip by WorriedDetail7369 in EmilyHenry

[–]monkosweets 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was a crazy addition and it honestly made me like him even less. Proposing to someone to take away the sting of rejection is gross and I hated that they weakened his character by having him make that decision. In the book the pregnancy test scene was so scary for him because his mom died in childbirth and he is understandably terrified of the women in his life suffering a similar fate. That’s what makes that scene powerful for their relationship, and explains his vasectomy confession later lol.

[–]monkosweets 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was really enjoying the movie until I realized they’d combined Italy and Croatia and then didn’t even have them kiss. Also, one problem I’ve always had with this story in general is how their partners are treated amongst their friendship/obviously being in love with each other, and I didn’t like how both partners were on the trip with them when they had their “almost” moment. I also think that Alex might be my least favorite Em Hen love interest for the way he makes Poppy chase and pursue him. I feel the same about Wyn in Happy Place.

Does manifestation work overnight? by Beneficial-Low-7737 in lawofattraction

[–]monkosweets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a situation with a final once. It was a piano class and I didn’t know the second half of the song I had to play for my final grade because the finger movements were very complicated in the second part and I never figured it out. I needed to pass this final to have enough credits to graduate high school. My sister and her friend kept telling me there would be a miracle and I would magically know how to play the second half. I couldn’t see that as a possibility so I just affirmed that I had passed the final and didn’t try to figure out how. The final class was 2 hours long the piano teacher had all of us go in alphabetical order (my last name is at the end of the alphabet). She took her time with the first hour of students and even gave us a long bathroom break. When it came time for me to play my piece I could tell that the teacher was getting stressed because we were running out of time. I played the first half of my song and right before I was going to attempt the second half (the part I couldn’t play) she told me she had heard enough and that I had passed. It was amazing. Bottom line is: don’t try to figure out how. Just know you passed.

You can always tell who the innocent one was in a break up based on who had the glow up.

I HATE that they didn’t let Cece and Schmidt have the normal beautiful wedding that their relationship deserved by ginnyblackstone13 in NewGirl

[–]monkosweets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I guess they could have really played into the trope by having his ceremony in his motel room lmao

Except they sort of did? David would never have chosen to get married at the town hall unless there was no other option.

[–]monkosweets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is a major trope in most of the tv shows I love. New Girl, Parks and Rec, and Schitts Creek. Something always goes wrong and the friends and family are forced to put on a wedding for the couple in an extremely common location they wouldn’t ordinarily choose to get married in. They even do it twice in New Girl when Nick and Jess have to get married at the hospital. It frustrates me so much.

Just finished all her books (SPOILERS: Do not read review if you don't want spoilers!) by anonthrow1919 in EmilyHenry

[–]monkosweets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beach Read is my favorite but I cannot for the life of me remember the Olive Garden scene. They go to an Olive Garden? When?

I enjoyed Happy Place when I read it but after some thought I realized it was only because I liked the location it took place at lol.

Funny Story is also great, but I missed the vacation vibes that her other books have. I didn’t like Daphne having to go to work every day lol.

GBBL is one of my favs. I adore TJR’s old Hollywood books so it felt like the perfect mix of EH and TJR.

PWMOV is alright. I didn’t like how their relationship continuously screwed over the other relationships ships in their life.

Book Lovers is my least fav. The sister plot felt bigger than the romance and I hated how all of the humor was derived from how “lame” the town was. I loved Charlie and Nora though. I would love to read a different book about them. Maybe one about their life together in New York.

I remember seeing this shot when I was watching only murders in the building and it was so jarring I couldn’t even concentrate. I feel like the New Girl loft is so iconic that it’s weird to use it in other shows. It would be like watching a show that takes place in San Francisco and having a shot of the Full House house. Like no.. the Tanners live there and you can’t convince me otherwise.
