I cannot stop raving about this book! It is so fantastic! Hannah is an incredible writer and really makes you feel like you are part of the story. Her cast of characters are all so fantastic and noteworthy. I wish I lived in Loveless with all these friends! I also love that it’s not just one love story, it’s 2. The love between Zoey and her best friend Eden is so touching. I love their friendship so much. This book is the perfect follow up to “The End and Then”. I’m so glad we got to hear Zoey’s story and watch her fall in love. Fantastically written and heartwarming. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll fall in love with some new friends. You will not regret reading this book!!

Review: Thank you SO MUCH to Hannah for allowing me to ARC read the second Loveless book. The End and Then was one of my favorite books I've read this year and I am so excited to hype What's Left of Me as it's every bit as amazing!!

Hannah's writing style, scene setting, and dialogue are so smooth, clear, and believable. This is easy to read because it flows so well. Her novels are so well done and have so much depth to them. I found myself sobbing tears of sorrow and joy multiple times throughout this book. Let's also give a shout out to MMCs who are just GOOD people. Love to see it.

I love Zoey's journey over the course of this book. Though she was wonderful as a supporting character in the first book, her own story was so powerful. I think a lot of people will be able to relate to this story regarding traumas of the past creating difficulty moving forward. I admire the strength and also the vulnerability shown here. Just another beautiful journey from an author that has quickly become one of my faves!!

I'll leave you with a quote that really resonated with me: "It takes a gargantuan effort to be somebody you’re not. To stand in the midst of something that makes you so terrified and, when the fear does not subside, to do the thing anyway."

Here's to the realization that even if you feel broken, you're worthy of having people in your life that see you for who you are and love you deeply.
