Colleen Hoover used trigger warnings as a checklist and over-explained things too much to maintain the ‘suspense’ aspect of this suspense novel, but I found myself enjoying it and looking forward to reading further.

 Honestly a bit creepy but Jeremy is such a romantic. I hate the last line so MUCH. This deviates so far from Colleen Hoover's usual writing style.
