First off, let me start off by saying this book is a 5 ⭐️ read! and what a journey this book was! This was my first book by Megan Brandy, and it didn’t disappoint not one bit. The book starts off so innocent and fun, a group of friends, more like family really, heading off to college together to start their adult lives. They’re all thick as thieves. The story focuses around Arianna, Ari for short, our FMC, and her journey of love and healing. This is told in such a beautifully tragic way. The author rips our hearts out. I stayed up till 2am silent sobbing next to my husband to finish this. I couldn’t put it down and needed to know how this story ended. I cannot emphasize this enough, it is SO BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN.
Also, there is spice and I give this one 3 🌶️
If you’re on the fence abt this one, just read it. It’s amazing. It’ll be one I’m left thinking abt for a long time and telling all my book besties abt.

Adored this book & the two main characters! Ari’s friend group was so cute and supportive and they all had their own clear characters which was as nice. The push and pull  and twists and turns were great! Such a funny, cute, wholesome story with great tension and build up - but then sad and deep story. Book boyfriend top spot is now reserved for Noah Riley - perfection!!!

1.0

This is, without question, the worst book I have ever read. 

The dialogue was laughably cringy, there were probably 15 completely different plots, tons of unresolved storylines, and a plethora of pointless side characters with unnecessarily elaborate backstories. 

If I wasn’t reading this for my book club, this would’ve been a DNF for me. 

Honestly, who wants a romance with a side of

amnesia, 2 tragic car accident storylines, the love interest being orphaned, and characters that mostly only have sex when they’re heartbroken

This was literally just such a bizarre and horrible read. I don’t understand how it has so many positive reviews.

The beginning was really slow. The author put all the emotions and devastation in the last 25%. And the epilogue wasn't really necessary if you would ask me

2.5

This book at several points had me literally saying “what in the Wattpad?” 
At one point she gets nervous and mentions that it’s just like the time she got pulled on stage at a one direction concert and puked on zayns shoes. Literally. That’s almost a direct quote 
At another point

after a huge blow out fight she goes to tell her love that she loves him and literally gets hit by a car only to wake up with no memory.

 

This book was good, I liked the characters mostly. I loved Noah, I loved her brother and I loved Brady. 
The writing had its moments of cringe dialogue, the twins call each other brother and sister constantly which felt weird. I’ve called my sister versions of sister but never just fully “sister” 
I would have given this a higher rating but the the last third of the book is a hot mess express. The writing is fine and the story would have been fine if it was almost the whole plot, but being this final third, i just wanted it to be over. 

after finally choosing which boy she wanted (which should not have even been a conversation bc Chase was a walking red flag.) there is a huge fight between Ari (main girl) chase (childhood crush) and her twin brother. All screaming and yelling, the boys get in a physical fight. WHICH WAS FINE I LOVED. but then Noah shows up and just as she’s about to tell him she loves him she gets hit by a car. 
She’s put in a medically induced coma and wakes up like 5 days later 
WITH NO MEMORY OF THE LAST THREE MONTHS. 
On top of that the dr is like “we couldn’t save the baby” 
So chase swoops in and is like trying to get her to fall in love with him Noah is taking a step back so she can figure  things for herself 
AND THIS HIS MOM DIES 
Like 4 major traumas happen in less than a hundred pages, and like three weeks book time. 
It was too much. 
It was way too much. 

 

Also on record. Chase was a creep. He couldn’t take no for an answer and got physically aggressive towards her.
