All our lives now rest on shifting sands. This arrangement between us is fragile. The most perilous part is that we all come wielding hammers for hands. One strike, and it will all come crashing down. I can't control your swing of the hammer just as you cannot control mine.
Pucking Around - Emily Rath
I made art for Emily Rath's 4th book in the Jacksonville Ray series, Pucking Strong
Here's the uk cover art and art reveal!
The Jax Ray’s going to the Eras Tour
Pucking Around
Jake: personally I think he’s a Swiftie. Maybe not as big as Ryan or Tess but he enjoys her vibe and her music and what she stands for. He and Amy probably bonded over her music too. Also he LOVES the dressing up for the eras tour.
Caleb: Since Caleb is an unseeming Swiftie, he would definitely go. Jake would make him dress up. Would he do it? Maybe. For Jake.
Rachel: not sure if she’s a Swiftie but she appreciates live music and would join the party and also dress up
Mars: would go for Caleb and his Metaphor but end up enjoying her music and would start listening while working out too. Would he dress up? Honestly maybe. He likes the vibe they decided on.
Costume vibe: reputation. Who are we kidding. They’d rock the all black
Pucking Wild
Ryan: he’d buy the tickets for everyone. He’s the biggest Swiftie in the whole group. Dressing up isn’t even optional. It’s a must. After the show he’d make variations of the Red shirt for the whole team, fitting it to the Rays.
Tess: also Swiftie. Let’s be real.
Costume vibe: they’d go multiple times so they could cover more albums. They’d be the most creative of everyone, making all the clothes themselves and recreating costumes from the show. Also they’d make so many friendship bracelets. I think for one night they’d do the Lover costumes, a variation of the lover body suit and sparkly blazer for both. For another night they’d do Midnights, both in those Vigilante Shit outfits. When they get home she sits him on the chair and does the dance for him.
Pucking Sweet
Poppy: she’s a Swiftie through and through. Of course she’s dressing up and also makes her men go. She might make the whole team go for a PR gig but then she finds out Ryan already bought tickets.
Novy: homeboy would not wanna go I fear. But he goes because Poppy wants to go and he wants to make her happy (so he would also dress up). Would end up enjoying himself and start listening to her because he relates to a lot of songs. Dr Taylor Swift is his new therapist. (He should probably get a real one too)
Colton: not a Swiftie but he appreciates her. Would go for Poppy and probably like it too. Ofc he dresses up for her.
Costume vibe: Miss Americana and the heartbreak princes
Henrik Karlsson from Pucking Strong is demisexual!
I'm going to say it.
Pucking Around (book 1) is such a cringy book compared to Pucking Wild (book 2) and Pucking Sweet (i haven't finished it yet, but book 3). Also, I am terrified of book 4 Pucking Strong because it's a mm romance, and she can't write queer relationships well imo
Now, don't get me started on the prequel! IT FUCKING SUCKS. I hated everything about it
Now, now I have only read part one of the Pucking Ever After Short Stories. Some are okay, some give me the ick, but it is what it is
Pucking Around is not about a girl and her three husbands. It's actually about a proud lioness, a happy golden retriever that has a black cat as a friend (and possible lover), a big grizzly bear that loves using big difficult words and their dog, and we love all the same💖
Oh boy. These books. The hangover. I haven’t had this bad of a hangover since The Losers Duet. The chokehold these books and characters have on me are just 🫠. While I love Rachel and all the guys and watching their relationship grow, Cay and Jake have my heart. Watching them finally just grow and finally become themselves. It was honestly the sweetest thing I’ve read. And Caleb. Caleb stole my heart and will forever be daddy 🫦. These books will be on constant loop.
Enjoy some of my favorite quotes:
