I just don’t care if it’s basic or cringe, I love a love story and Colleen Hoover love stories. This one gave me heart squeezes 💕🥹 I love Beyah and her heart and her resilience. I loved watching two strong characters who were dealt unfair cards find love and a beautiful life .

It wouldn’t be a Colleen Hoover book unless there wasn’t a huge plot twist. I honestly don’t know why I didn’t see it coming. Beyah and Samson were cute as a couple, but honestly not a great couple. Still a really cute summer read.

Finished in just over a day. This book surprised me. Every coho book has a twist but I didn't hate it. Every book written by this woman has a girl falling in love with a troubled man and this was no different but I did enjoy it.

I wasn't fully in love with the main characters. They seemed a little too juvenile for me.  The book had some tragic moments in them that were surprising, but honestly not my favorite Colleen Hoover book. I don't think I really felt the full connection the book was trying to project.
