I have a difficult time when it comes to Colleen Hoover, very love-hate. 
I did enjoy this book though, far more then It Ends With Us, mostly cause I wasn’t blindsided this time by the dark themes in the book (which also do not seem to have any trigger warnings mentioned in the beginning- seems to be recurring problem with her books).
That being said, if you like dark, suspenseful reads with a bit of romance, this is a great book for you. One of the better books of hers that I’ve read for sure.

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh
I have so many thoughts that I can’t even fathom. My brain was trying to figure it out the whole time, which kept me hooked and I typically don’t like Colleen Hoover’s writing style. 
I didn’t care for a lot of the spice in the middle of the book because it just wasn’t written well, but overall loved it.
