Pinky Promise (Gummy Bear Orgy)

Pinky Promise is the first book from Rebecca Rennick I’ve read. Overall I really liked the story, it is super fluffy, and nauseatingly cute, which is part of the reason I couldn’t put it down when I started it.Michaela (Lala) is a living breathing ray of sunshine. She has pink hair, lives in a pink Skoolie, has a pink ferret, and runs a Boba Stand. Lala is quirky and genuine.Henry is the exact opposite, a lump of coal if you will. He’s cranky, uptight, lacks any sort of personality - very - GREY.I really liked the character development, specifically Henry, he was a miserable man at the start, but about 1/2 way through he began to come out of his shell. He was having a good time, smiling, joking around, which was a far cry from who we met early in the story.Lala’s determination to succeed in her Boba business is admirable. She left a small farm town, travelled, and lived in her Skooli living the life she wanted for herself and she wasn’t willing to let anyone change her path.

Story was a cute grumpy-sunshine trope. Predictable but the characters do have some good emotional depth. I just wish there were more edits for spelling errors.

Despite the everything about this book (misused and misspelled words, grammatical errors, and an arbitrary approach to commas that makes me want to rip my own teeth out), I am fully in love with this book--it just makes me happy. After Lala kissing bandits Henry on the street one day, their lives become inextricably intertwined until they release that they've falled in love, even though neither had any intent to do so. Henry is a grumpy millionaire, Lala is the pink cinnamon roll sunshine we need in this bleak world, and together they are a beautiful spicy cotton candy couple. PP is just a sweet, silly gummy bear of a book that made me smile so widely I thought my face might crack. All PP needed for this to be the perfect book was a good copyediting, but, even still, I enjoyed the story so much that I have to give it the full five stars. ALSO, Rebecca Rennick commissioned art to complement PP and it is actual PERFECTION!

Idk there was no orgy so definitely don’t get your hopes up.One thing I absolutely despise is chapters starting right at the good stuff and then backtracking time. So, immediately I get excited only to be let down two paragraphs later. It’s a cheap trick and did not encourage me to trust the writing here.I love a good grumpy sunshine and I love that the resolution was that neither had to give up something they enjoyed (work, selves) in order to be together. They naturally brought out the best in each other (well, more so lala bringing out Henry. Lala didn’t much change)I was really icked out by Henry refusing to call Lala by her name. He says he’s respecting her by calling her her “given” name but not her “preferred” name because it wasn’t really a name. Yes he slowly got around to it and I get what the author was trying to do with that slow reveal, but it came across really gross and rude and as much as I wanted to love Henry, that ruined the whole experience for me.Idk it’s nothing special and I felt like there was so much left open that I can’t really say I feel satisfied with this.

I enjoyed this so much, from the very beginning and her trying to brighten someone's day, to how he started wearing pink. It was a super sweet light read!

When I heard about a Gummy Bear Orgy book series, I was intrigued. Pinky Promise is funny, sweet, and smutty. I had so much fun reading this book. I laughed, cried, swooned, and shifted in my seat. This book is the perfect palette cleanser for dark romance readers like myself. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to move on to Her Favorite Jack O Lantern 😃

I quite liked this book. Lalas positive energy made the whole story so happy and it was so cute. I also wanna make a ferret pink now because it sounds so cute. The spice was also nice. I love how needy the mmc was.

This story was fun and sassy. And everything you could ask for in a great book. I enjoyed it immensely and was here for the characters and where they went. The developments that took place was fun,sassy,steamy. I'm here for it all and I would do it all over again. I absolutely enjoyed this book and would recommend it to everybody.

I love the characters in this book. I am only a few chapters in, but it’s great so far!

Ya quiero leerlo.. súper romántico 💕

This was an easy read, it had spice, angst and a happily ever after. These are definitely something you could pick up and enjoy on holiday or between darker reads.

4⭐️ I pinky promise this is the cutest read of 2023. This book is so sugary sweet, like I feel like I need to my blood glucose levels because I think I’ve got diabetes from how freaking sweet this book is. I enjoy my caramel lattes in the morning, but for reals, this was overload.Honestly, their meet cute is the cutest meet cute I’ve ever read for a long time it’s just so sweet.This was just a perfect palate cleanser in between a few of them of the darker Halloween reads that I’ve been doing recently.I’m obsessed with Henry. He is the grumpiest grumpy sunshine in this combo ever. But the most sinful mouth! Goodness! I loved that spicy side of him.Lala is so sweet she’s just this little ray of sunshine and I’m obsessed. As if you wouldn’t buy Boba tea from a pink haired goddess, honestly.The passion between these two is like that perfect moment when you’re toasting s’mores over the fire and it’s just about to light up, it’s intense and you’re loving it. It’s that in between moment where you don’t know if you should pull back or go for it. Perfection!

I ended up really enjoying this. The first couple of chapters were hard for me to get through. I struggled a bit with Lala as a character and how much pink was thrown in your face. But I really enjoyed Henry and the moments these two had as a couple. The spice was fantastic. I just wish the colour references were toned just a smidge bit because it felt like we were constantly being reminded of how much she loved pink.Other than that, this was a good book. And I really enjoyed the relationship and the chemistry between these two.
