The pace, in the middle part, got slow. It helped for character development and getting to know the characters but it got slow. I will considered this a slow burn but not your typical one. If you read it, you’ll know what i’m talking about. Two people really grappling with a lot of pain and residual trauma from their lives find each other and through their relationship are forced to deal with and come to terms with their choices. Going through those periods with them was gutting bc I hated what happened but the grovelling?? 𝑫𝑬𝑳𝑰𝑪𝑰𝑶𝑼𝑺. writing was kind of chaotic at times and the flow between chapters did not always feel seamless, it's like an action skipped, but it was like a scratched CD kind of skip

these characters were unapologetically themselves, flawed + so real. the story explored their struggles within themselves + their families, some of the best character development from the main characters but also some of the side characters. IF THAT IS YOUR CUP OF TEA: I love my babies. Otis and Greta meet at a party and spend the night together. Exchanging middle names and keeping it as formal as you could with a one night stand. But that doesn’t last… 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 love the characters. They are deeply flawed and their problems hit to close too home *cough* Otis *cough* It’s a very character driven book and with such a real connection. I loved that. The reason it doesn’t have 5 stars it’s because Otis had some red flags but i’m glad he got the help and still making improvements.Will I be able to tolerate his imperfections and accept his past mistakes? Will he accept mine? I'm not perfect. I'm so aware of that. But I hope he'll want me all the same.” The number-one thing to do in a relationship is to be there for a partner, through the good, the bad, and the ugly.” Midnight Kisses follows our two main characters Greta and Otis. Both start a fwb relationship but as they continue feelings start to blur. I’m normally good at predicting what’s gonna happen in romance books but this one surprised me time and again. Abigail Trent Budell ( Ethel Barrymore), a wealthy resident of Philadelphia and patron of the arts, supports her soprano granddaughter Prudence Budell ( Kathryn Grayson), just returning from Europe after five years of vocal training. Prudence's grandmother sponsors an opera company run by the famous maestro Jose Iturbi ( himself) to give her chance to lead an opera. They hire the also famous tenor Guido Russino Betelli ( Thomas Gomez), but Prudence does not feel comfortable with him on the stage.

Otis's smile was the seed. His laughter was water, his touch my sunlight. And just like that, I've blossomed into someone I wasn't before” But I’m giddy and thrilled because of how this gorgeous boy with soulful eyes and a deep, dimpled smile is squeezing himself into my life and offering me a type of comfort and company I didn’t realize I wanted. I snort and kiss the center of his chin. “𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱, 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲.”

Otis and Greta were perfect. Otis was such a puppy and Greta a ball-buster. They balanced each other out in the best way. I loved seeing them grow and change and watch them fall in love. I miss that, the rush of endorphins that would strike me when I liked someone and the frantic patter of my heart when I would hear my phone ding with a text notification. More than anything, I miss having someone I can talk to about anything and everything, engaging in dumb, meaningless conversations that provide nothing but the comfort of having someone there.” of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars Midnight Kisses by Jeanine Bennedict Thank you for joining project epicpdf.com one more step for saving everlasting masterpieces of great minds of all nations and times. ALSO, some folks will for sure be put off by this, but I loved that as a FMC, Greta was "allowed" to have a good, satisfying sex life outside of MMC, and she even had sex with someone else after they first hooked up (but before they entered any sort of exclusive relationship) - here, all my toxic double standard relationship traits are in the open, for all of you to see, because if it was written the other way around, I'd be LIVID and threw a book across the room, but since it was the girl getting some, I'm just chilling, all giddy and GOOD FOR HER

And to will it into existence is to let it occupy your thoughts more. And to let it occupy your thoughts more is to enhance your anxiety”It follows Greta, an ice queen with commitment issues who doesn’t do football players AND the coach’s daughter, and Otis, QB1 soft boy with a dominant and jealous streak. After hooking up one night at a party without exchanging names, they decide to become friends with benefits (and Greta is hellbent on zero commitment). And, you know how the story goes… 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 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. That Midnight Kiss is a 1949 Technicolor American musical romance film also starring Mario Lanza (in his first leading role) and Kathryn Grayson. Among the supporting cast were Ethel Barrymore, conductor/pianist Jose Iturbi (playing himself), Keenan Wynn, J. Carrol Naish, and Jules Munshin. The commercially popular film was directed by Norman Taurog, who the following year would again direct Lanza and Grayson in the even more successful The Toast of New Orleans. 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 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 💁‍♀️)
