Tina Purvis

And people were happy.

Tina Provis, that's what happened.

Oh, Dev Patel would have been 10 out of 10.

I do love unexpected fan casting when it works.

And then this Monday, just to bring us to this week, some really horrific rumours, troubling rumours started circulating.

It's like I could see.

And also because everyone in this office is a huge Emily Henry fan.

It was like when the rumors started on Monday, it was like I could see dark clouds start to gather around the office.

The mood changed.

People were sitting at their desks very quietly.

It was really a real change in the air when the news came out that there was a rumor that Patrick Schwarzenegger of the White Lotus fame and also son of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

That he was going to play the lead in Beach Read.

But we were like, no, I think I even talked to you, Deanna.

I was like, we don't know if it's true yet.

Let's just calm down, take a moment.

I'm sure it's just a vicious rumour.

But today?

And like, I'm shaking.

I don't know, like, I know Tina Burke, what your feed was like.

Tina Provost, I don't know what your feed was like this morning, but all my social feeds, the moment I woke up this morning was people posting their reactions.
