SYNOPSIS

THOUGHTS
well, well, well. 
isnt life funny. 

i cant say that this is my fave CL story BUT what i can say is that this story might just be cemented into me for life. 
here is Lily dealing with her dad's shit after his passing. (LOL! )
and of course there is more but well, its cemented into me for a reason. 

i would have finished this sooner but i was saving this to listen to it as i worked at work and then shit hit the fan and then well, you gota handle your shit you know. (sorry dad)!
.....i think the best way that i can describe this to you would be to tell you to watch The Lost City movie. these two (both in the book and the movie) get into some unbelievable shit but its lol and you get into it if you don't pay too close attention. (i appreciate the way the authors acknowledged this at the beginning - somethings are out there. it helped me a lot to know that even the authors knew they were pushing it a little. lol.) 

i appreciated that homie was chill and calm, the way everything was connected was - lol i guess. 
i couldnt with brad? what was his name? lol you know who im talking about. 

idk. i currently dont have the mental capability to be more detailed so ill leave it at this but yeah, i guess this one was cool. 

but honestly, if you dont want to read this but wanna experience it, just watch the movie. i love the movie. lol 


SPOILERS

Lily and Leo date when they were teens and he was working at her ranch. they were going to end up together but there was an accident and leo had to leave. originally he was going to help his mom but she ended up passing away so he needed to stay to take care of his sister. he did call her back but her dad answered and he never passed the message down. so they lose contact. (thats why Leo never came back but she doesnt learn this until after they reconnect.) 

fast forward to today. ...and because i wana be quick about it...

leo's roomate B (i forgot his name ) was in cahoots with the motherfucker that went over the cliff (i think his name is John)  and the whole point of the set up was to I guess trap Lily into somehow getting them to Dukes massive fortune that was hidden but never found.

In the end, Lili and Leo find it on their own and the horrible homie gets caught. Idk. 

It's been a while. 

Let's move on.
