Fake Empire (Kensingtons Book 1)

Product Information

My mind wanders to stupid thoughts as I keep my gaze firmly on my glass. Like whether Crew is good in bed. He seems like the sort of guy who would expect blowjobs without reciprocating and always come first. Second of all, underwhelming when it could've been mind-blowing. The heroine flipped & rode his ass to kingdom come and I felt NOTHING. Look, Scarlett and Crew are wild. He's sort of a sweet playboy... but like he has his grumpiness sometimes. But he is down bad for Scarlett i-- he is there since day one. And I love to see that. I feel like he's more in love with her than she with him lmao. Yeah, they are the "she fell first but he fell harder" trope. I love a cynical, ice princess; a self-proclaimed bitch; an unfeeling, jaded heroine! But I love them because of the reminder they serve that women are flawed and infallible and that is okay. Stoic and aloof is often used to describe morally gray men but honestly, I know so many women like that too and sometimes I crave a non-sunshiney heroine and that is exactly what you’ll get in Scarlett Ellingsworth. She’s rich, intelligent, hard-working, stunning and powerful and she owns every inch of it. But with that high position comes the need to constantly prove herself and show no emotions, in the chance she gets misconstrued as overly emotional, weak or spoiled. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t have emotions or vulnerabilities or struggles and seeing her bare that softer side with the man she’s in forced proximity with made this such an amazing story! I smile at that. Richer. Crew has to split his inheritance with his older brother Oliver. I’m an only child.

We’ve swerved so far off script I can’t remember what our lines are. Everyone in here already knows who he is. But even if Crew had a different last name and a less robust bank account, I still think I would be staring.

I headed out at seven, which is unheard of for me. I met Nadia and Sophie for sushi at a new spot in the Village, and we ended up here, just like I knew we would. Coming to Proof and rubbing elbows with New York’s young, rich, and famous is a novelty for my two companions. Less so for me, seeing as I was coming to places like this long before I was legally allowed to. If you're addicted to Young Adult books, then this is the place for you!

All three of us watch him saunter over. if the lemonade here is intended to suggest the lemonade made in the axiom about life handing you lemons, it's crushing to think that even that most optimistic outlook is so bleak that we might "put a little something in our lemonade" - i.e. liquor it up to numb ourselves, to stay only "half-awake" so we don't have to admit it's a fake empire. For my family, the closest economic equivalent is the Kensingtons. It’s an arrangement advantageous to both sides, which is unique. Usually, one party gains more than the other. More money, more assets, more status.

Scarlett was ambitious and didn’t need her family’s money to build her fashion magazine. She reminded me a lot of one of my all-time favorite book characters. Both of them are perceived as cold and have trouble expressing their emotions. All through Crew was great--- a charismatic playball, I think that Scarlett really stole the show. She was a fantastic character, and dare I say maybe a top ten female book character for me. I really enjoyed her slowly opening to Crew and facing her fears. Also, she was much more successful than him. Edit: ik she was being sarcastic now, ya'll can stop talking abt it. It was confusing to me either way. We’ve grown up with the same privilege and expectations. We know what’s expected. What it takes to thrive in this world, not just survive.

Since Crew and Scarlett have been teenagers, they have known that in the future they would have to get married. And now ten years later, that day has come. To say that they both are not excited about it, is an understatement. The two of them don’t like each other at all; however, this is a done deal. The first time I saw Crew Kensington, I was tempted to tell him, You have the prettiest eyes I’ve ever seen. I was fifteen. I didn’t end up saying a word to him, because those eyes are the only attribute of his that could be described as inviting. Because they weren’t—aren’t—his only attractive feature, and that used to intimidate me speechless. The arranged marriage was accurate though. But they had such odd relationship development. So many missed opportunities... They’re jealous—and drunk. But still, I want to lecture them about the hypocrisy. Crew isn’t greedy? Just me? That title shuts her up fast, especially when Crew doesn’t deny my claim. He just continues to watch me, unreadable emotions swirling in cerulean depths as he ignores her.

My father hasn’t broached the topic with me himself in years. He assumes I’ll do what he wants without question when the time comes, and for once, he’s right. Crew and Scarlett were made for each other, and despite how much they really tried to avoid it they really came together in the end. It was a natural progression of them, and I enjoyed them. Crew doesn’t stop walking until he reaches the edge of our booth. He crowds the space like he has every right to be here. Evan glances up at him mid-sentence, clearly confused by what is happening. There’s a long pause where everyone is silent.Top 50 Songs of 2007". Stylus Magazine. Archived from the original on 2015-02-06 .

Nadia and Sophie are friends from business school. They both grew up in wealthy suburbs of Manhattan, riding around in brand-new cars and never applying for financial aid. They’re the comfortable sort of well-off, where worrying about paying rent or putting food on the table is a foreign concept. As I walk across the club, I can feel the stares on me. The gold sequined minidress I’m wearing isn’t meant to blend into the wallpaper. Work has eaten up most of my time lately. The only reason I left the office before eleven p.m. is that it was Andrea’s birthday tonight. None of my magazine’s editorial staff—including her—will leave before I do.Like the one bed trope?
