WWW Wednesdays #19

I don’t use the word hate due to its negative connotation, but I did hate yesterday. I was in so much pain that my dyslexia was really on point, as in I couldn’t spell to save my life, on top of typing being pretty painful. This is why I wrote most of my book review on my photo, and I’m hoping it made sense. I know what is causing the pain, the heat and stress, and I’m feeling pretty guilty switching on the AC this early in the season, but I’d rather not end up in the hospital.

On the table, I have the novel Something to be Proud Of by Anna Zoe Quirke in physical form, but I can’t hold it at the moment, and I can’t find an e-book copy, but I requested it, so I might be able to read it. Sam is currently hosting WWW Wednesday from Taking On A World of Words.

Goodreads Blurb:

We went from fling to friend-zone. Now I have to tell him he’s going to be a dad.

After my ex-husband left, I became a single mom, and I vowed never to date a guy in a suit again.

Then Trey Wilson entered my life. The guy who lives in suits. He’s charismatic, good-looking, and charming AF.

Everything that can make any woman swoon, including me.

What started as a one-night fling turned into a mid-morning office quickie followed by an afternoon rendezvous in my kitchen. Which ultimately led to the purchase of a new table.

After I told him we can only be friends, he’s determined to be my best friend. The more time we spent together the boundary between friends and benefits blur.

Deep down, I know he’s exactly like the others. Once they get what they want, they’re out the door, leaving me to pick up the pieces of my broken heart. Been there. Done that. And I have a daughter to prove it.

So the moment emotions get involved, I quickly suppress them and do what I know is right.

I end whatever this is.

Except now I can’t do that when the white stick shows two pink lines.
