The neverending, unchanging sex scenes were unnecessary. The writing wasn't very creative and where I felt compelled to continue to read hoping for a gripping twist I was left disappointed as it never hit as much as it alluded it may. The continuous sex scenes eventually became so repetitive it got boring because the tension was eventually lost because it became expected of every chapter.

I have a difficult time when it comes to Colleen Hoover, very love-hate. 
I did enjoy this book though, far more then It Ends With Us, mostly cause I wasn’t blindsided this time by the dark themes in the book (which also do not seem to have any trigger warnings mentioned in the beginning- seems to be recurring problem with her books).
That being said, if you like dark, suspenseful reads with a bit of romance, this is a great book for you. One of the better books of hers that I’ve read for sure.

I absolutely loved this book and I couldn’t put it down. It was dark and disturbing and fast paced.

I wish I could give it 5 full stars but what really took it down a notch for me was the ending. 

Spoiler

I felt the letter was unnecessary and was the only part of the book I struggled to read because it felt so rushed and honestly felt like a twist that tried too hard and didn’t land.

Also the sleepwalking was so built up and it never ended up adding to the story at all.

All in all, an enjoyable read
