The back and forth of the emotions in this book is what kept me reading. From flipping to the last and present and seeing everything fall into place. I just kept wanting to see what happened. It was written in such a way that kept me guessing. Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen something else did. I would read this book again and tell others to read it too.

I did like this book, I did enjoy it. But I did feel it was a bit repeatative and slow in some parts.
It is very sad and to have experienced a problem with infertility recently I thought maybe this isn't the book for me but kept reading as I wanted to see how the character pulled through.
Please read the trigger warnings before jumping into this though. Very emotional.

I give this book 2.25 out of five stars. Though I feel this is the least toxic, trauma-bonded relationship to be displayed in this particular Colleen Hoover series thus far, the individuals themselves are still practicing toxic behaviors, feed into trauma bonding, and are unbelievably poor communicators. Instead of communicating, they repeatedly hurt their partner.
I am starting to wonder if CoHo has written about any healthy relationships.

I feel like I've been fed a very negative attitude toward Colleen Hoover by many friends who were disappointed in her books, but I'm glad I picked this up. A gorgeous love story that tackles some heartbreaking, and real issues for any marriage. It navigates the difficulties of changing circumstances, fate, and what it means to be in love with someone. Honestly, so much of this book feels like it could be great marriage counselling. The time jumps left me on edge and kept me reading continuously. I don't think this book was necessarily memorable, I won't be thinking about the characters for days, but I loved the experience. Worth the read!

This book was really sad and honest. It depicted a couple going through a difficult time together and how individual, personal problems can stem from the bigger problems. It shows how easily love can seem to disappear in a relationship when there is no communication or partnership. This book definitely made me cry about 2-3 times. I also love the way it is written, switching from past to present; the duality really adds to the clarity and emotional heart-wrench that this book aims towards.

I loved the love story is this book, that being said there were elements I felt were problematic and totally unnecessary.
