Loved this book, this book kept me going
It’s got a emotional back story on it, however for me, I have cried to Colleen hoover books more than this one for some reason
The topics was very emotional and I don’t know why I only shedded a year, but nether the less it was a amazing book, amazing story, so sad and you won’t put it down until u have finished reading
I loved the ending of this
And I love dean holder…
I also love sky
I hate the dad( for very obvious reasoning)
And, I can’t lie, I do love Karen , even if she did
Spoiler
kidnap sky, it was to protect her from her father.Although In the middle, we kind of forgot about our best friends in the book

Listen. I was SO. CLOSE. to completely giving up on this book. Literally 150 or so pages in I had no idea where this story was supposed to go. I found myself rolling my eyes at every supposedly interaction Sky and Holder had because I thought that the romance was too abrupt and I was not convinced.
But then the plot started picking up and oh my god.
Continuing with this book was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Seriously. There were a lot of moments where I wanted to keep on turning the page to know what happens next but I also wanted to stop to take a breather because the scene was too heavy for my poor fragile heart to handle. This book will tear your heart to pieces one minute, then will put it back together again with the most hopeful and inspiring quotes, then it will break your heart again. Long story short, this was one heck of a rollercoaster ride of so many emotions.
Also can we talk about how painfully underrated Sky and Holder are?????? When it comes to CoHo characters it's always Lily and Atlas (which I understand because they deserve the world) but SKY AND HOLDER????? THE POWER. THE STRENGTH. WE NEED TO SCREAM ABOUT THEM MORE.
I deducted 0.5 stars for 2 reasons:
1. Like I said, I wasn't the biggest fan of the first part.
2. Breckin. The forgotten bestest friend in the wide world. I felt like he was just there for the sake of being there. I wanted more of him! I feel like his character could have been a more prominent one.
So yah. This being my 4th CoHo further proves to me that yes, this woman is a fantastic storyteller; and yes, I might be a little bit addicted to her writing. To be frank, her books aren't the best, most amazing things I have ever read, but the way they hook you in inescapable. Once you're in, it's difficult to get out.

I thought it was really well written, although I did think it was slightly less gripping than her other books.

This book gets very intense, very quickly towards the end. I would take the content warnings and your current mental state into consideration when reading.
