This is by far my favourite Colleen book and i don’t think any other could top it. I love the main character and the way she views the world really resonates with me. I think her and Samson’s relationship was one that proves that soulmates exist. The plot teist was a bit cheap but it had to be done for the storyline. I think it’s the perfect summer read if you also want a story that will break your heart bones and then put thrm back together. The ending was by far my favourite part.

This was my first CoHo book and I need to say that I love it very much and it made me grow a heart bone most definitely! The only thing that made it lost .25 stars was that I felt that the ending was rushed and a little forced (a happy and really cute one at that) but it was a beautiful book with lot of things that made me reflect for the rest of the day.
Definitely recommend!!

A great book and definitely worth the read. My only criticism would be that the characters didn’t seem to have spent that much time together alone. But overall I really liked it!

I absolutely love this book. Like most Colleen hoover books I did not see the twist coming, the characters are so lovable and I definitely recommend to read it!
