Oh man, I got teary-eyed a few times! I haven’t gone through anything that Colleen Hoover puts in her books, but she makes them so damn relatable. Such a beautiful story that all of the judgmental a*holes should read. Just another reminder to be kind, because you never know what people are going through.

5/5
I dont know what to say. Read it! Read it over and over again! Just read it!
The end was so emotional, this whole book was an emotional rollercoaster. The best Colleen Hoover book so far! I want to read it for the first time again and i know for sure this will be my every-year-summer-read. Thank you Colleen for this book, for telling us the story about Beyah and Samson. Two people that are yet so different in the beginnig but share the same old soul in the ending. This book reflects my love to the ocean, its reflecting hope.
There are so many quotes that i want to remember but this one is my favorite: ,,What fills the holes in a soul?“ ,,Pieces of someone else‘s soul.“

And now i can proudly say: I love this book with my heart bones

This was my second Colleen Hoover book, and I was not disappointed. It was so easy to read, and once the climax began, it was hard to put down. I expected to cry, but I didn’t; that’s fine, though. The ending was satisfying, and I found myself quickly falling in love with the characters. My favorites were Sara and Pepper Jack Cheese (I’m such a sucker for animals). The plot twist was unexpected for me but that’s Colleen for you 😂.

Spoiler

I also really liked that she showed the complexity of Samson’s life and the motives for his crimes

Side note: the cover is absolutely gorgeous; props to Murphy Rae.

Now I get why everyone calls this THE summer book! I loved every second reading this book which I didn't expect. The book deals with some deep topics as usual (CoHo books) and gives some great lessons to the reader. Also the quotes and the title meaning? Perfection. 
I don't want to give away too much but I can tell you that this is my favourite Colleen Hoover book so far! Pro tips: Read it in the summer to make a better reading experience and right now (August, 2022) you can get the book on kindle unlimited for free.
