I didn’t like this one at all.  It was like watching a train wreck, but with a unrealistically happy ending.  
The ML has a committed, wonderful girlfriend.  The FL knows this and yet they cheat together anyway.  Ick.

By the end I had a hard time liking the characters because of the plot. 
In order to make the relationship work between Ridge and Sydney, Hoover had to justify cheating. I think she trys to make it ok by having them hold off on sex until Ridge's relationship with Maggie ends. That said, their actions were still cheeting in my book. I would be pretty distraught if I found out my husband was doing the things Ridge was doing with Sydney with another women.
This was by far my least favorite Hoover book so far.

I absolutely loved this book from start to finish - well almost finish. I understand what Colleen was doing with the scene she decided to end on, but for me it was a weird way to end. The ending was definitely different than most other romance plots. And this entire book was actually. I think that's why I liked it so much! The prologue is actually about events that happen within the timeline of the entire novel. Which - when I turned the page to chapter one and saw that it was 3 weeks earlier than the prologue I was a bit afraid that 350 pages were only going to occur in 3 weeks time. Colleen sure knows how to scare me!

The soundtrack that goes along with this novel is FANTASTIC - you should totally listen to the songs as they appear in the novel. This just brought in a whole new element to the story (and my reading) that I missed the acoustic guitar when I had to continue on. What I need is an acoustic version (no lyrics) of all those songs to play while I'm reading in the future!

Some of those twists in to create the 3rd act of the novel - my goodness Colleen how do you think of this stuff!

I liked this book a lot! I don’t like the cover with the guitar! But that’s neither here nor there! I enjoyed the characters! I was in tears! My dog passed away very recently and her name was Maggie so when that all happened you bet your ass I was crying! 
I love Warren! Always will! I read maybe not before I read this one so I knew warrens story!! 
I get why people didn’t finish this book because of the cheating but I don’t find it massively triggering even tho I’ve had personal experiences! If cheating is a trigger than this whole book is just not a book for you! 
I am excited to read maybe now and finish this series! 
I never thought I would read Colleen Hoover because her books just didn’t seem like something I would enjoy. Now I’ve tried her out I realise I do like her writing style!

Very emotional story in which the characters learn the hard lesson that what brings two people together may not be enough to keep them together.  Other reviewers have commented that this book seemed to gloss over the cheating aspect, but there was a conversation relatively early in the book which led me to believe that all was not perfect between what some saw as a perfect couple.  I especially liked the deaf representation with a character who was a songwriter.  The explanations of his abilities and the way he related to others was very touching.

this book started out with sydney living with her boyfriend and with ridge living in her apartment building, watching him play his guitar from her balcony. they begin to communicate through texts and this is when sydney finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her with her bestfriend, she decides to go to ridges apartment. they start off as friends due to ridge having a girlfriend, however they end up together in the end. throughout, sydney finds out ridge is deaf and plays for a band, making sydney his muse (letting her write the music for them). 

i loved this book a lot, it was so heartwarming and i cannot wait to read the other 2 books!
