Perfect kisses (174), lips, tongue, hands (178).
“Every fiber of my being knows he’s not a good person, yet my body doesn’t seem to give a shit at all” (44).
He likes her reading him romance novels (112).
I also found it annoying that Holder acts like he’s so serious about Sky, wanting to stay with her forever, yet he already says he won’t marry her until the far, far future, sometime after college (376). Why can’t they marry sooner if they’re so sure they’re going to be together forever? The truth is that nobody can predict the future. Couples often think they’ll stay together forever, but feelings and circumstances change. So it doesn’t matter if you get married in the first year of knowing each other, or wait 5 or 10 years. Any marriage can end, at any time. Which is why marriage is pointless, and also why it’s pointless to wait if marriage is your goal. Holder acts like if Sky gets pregnant, that will put an expiration date on their marriage (378). So he only wants to be with her if he gets to enjoy years of childless sex with her? And once she does get pregnant, he will divorce her for a younger woman as he said in his joke?

There are time jumps that could seem annoying to most, but in my opinion I found it helped the story. I had an inkling about a few things, but was still surprised at all of the twists!
I’m giving it a 4/5 as in my opinion, there should definitely be trigger warnings in the beginning of the book — but overall I really enjoyed it!!!

First: It is excruciatingly slow. In the beginning we meet Sky, a homeschooled teenage girl who sneaks boys into her room at night to make out with them but doesn’t feel a thing.
Second: The male love interest is a secretive moody guy who randomly has rage attacks and treats Hope like crap and she never questions him. It’s maddening to watch a female character just go along with a guy she doesn’t know very well and completely not questions his moods or how he treats her in them.
Third: The dialogue is very childish sometimes and wayyy to cheesy to be believable.
I really love Colleen Hoover and I’m sad that I couldn’t like this one. But it really was just unbelievable and I just couldn’t like this book for the fourth reason alone.
