I’m not going to lie; I got this book because it was the last Colleen Hoover book on my TBR. Everyone raves about this on Booktok and I've learnt not to trust a lot of Booktok’s predictions especially when it comes to Colleen Hoover, and I think this is the end of me reading Colleen’s work.
When Tate Collins and when she finds airline pilot Miles Archer passed out in front of her apartment door, it is not love at first sight. In fact, they wouldn’t even consider themselves friends. But what they do have is an undeniable mutual attraction. He doesn’t want love, and she doesn’t have time for a relationship, but their chemistry cannot be ignored. Once their desires are out in the open, they realise they have the perfect set-up, if Tate can stick to two rules – never ask about the past and don’t expect a future. Tate convinces herself she’s okay with it, but soon realises that it’s harder than she thought. Will she be able to say no to her sexy pilot when he lives just next door?
Cap, Corbin and Ian saved this book from being two stars. They are the only ones that acted like actual adults. Like why are you freaking out over someone you haven’t spent time expect for when you are having sex with each other? Corbin had every right to punch the shit out of Miles for being a scumbag, he stopped one of Corbin’s friends hitting on her and then was being a hypocritic. Cap was the comedy relief in this book and I'm so glad he wasn’t just some wise old man, and he knew Miles.
I don’t understand why there has to be something “different” with Colleen’s books, can we not just get a normal dual POV. The weird poetic, half-ass, chapters from Miles weren’t needed. The only chapter I liked from Miles was the last one where it was more than 3 pages long and wasn’t a poem. I hate the insta-love trope, and this is what Tate and Miles had. That and just sex for 300 pages. They literally went out on a date when they were got together, and he proposed. Like no wonder everyone lost their shit and was questioning everything. Miles is also a massive red-flag and the fact that young girls are reading this and thinking it’s normal and romantic, like no it’s disgusting and I get he is grieving and that child-loss is a massive thing, but if you can’t form a bond because you are terrified to lose them, don’t lead them on and then push them away. Girls aren’t yo-yos. I didn’t like the back and forth between six years ago and now, it was giving me a headache. I just wanted to know why Miles was a complete prat.
This is one of those books where if there was a sequel, they would be co-parenting their child because they would be divorced within a year.

Wasn’t sure about it at first but the ending made it better. Would suggest sticking around to read the ending.

Absolutely atrocious. This is the fourth book I’ve finished by Hoover (the need to know the buzz around these narratives is ultimately not worth the time. Blame #BookTok) and each have had extremely problematic themes, pitiful character development, and aggravating portrayals of women within relationships and society. Staying on brand with Hoover’s abhorrent writing, this book continues poor and laughable writing. If aspiring authors are struggling with self motivation or confidence, struggle no more! If Hoover can publish this much garbage, any aspiring author can publish their content as well.

I don’t normally read romance but this was really good. I really enjoyed the thought that went into creating this story. It certainly had its tough moments but they were so worth it to get through.

Incredibly sexual, very detailed sex parts
Important to search up the tw for the book.
It’s a very complicated relationship but everything will be understandable after awhile of reading.
Some plot twists , very surprising chapters will appear. And a very very pleasant ending I’d say
