This is probably the lowest I have rated a colleen Hoover book. Never mind, November 9th. Still, that’s  saying something. She is not my favorite writer. With that said, they are usually very quick reads for me. I could’ve read like 6 books within the time I read this one. It took SO much longer and, I’m gonna be honest, I spent more time on TikTok than reading during this time. That’s a first for me. Loads of people liked it though, and I could’ve just been done with Colleen Hoover. I also do not like her beliefs and am probably biased. If you love her, great. I personally do not.

I don’t remember enough of this book to properly rate it, but there was probably WAY more.

I really loved the book but the SA scenes were too much and too graphic for my liking

Massively enjoyed this book. I loved both of the main characters. I found some character traits confusing at the start, but their challenges made so much more sense after the twist was revealed and that made me love the characters at the start more in retrospect too. I didn't see the twist coming at all too, which doesn't happen often! A Colleen Hoover that I'd definitely recommend 🥰

TW: SA 
I didn't know what to expect with this book, some of the events were unbelievable, the way the characters got through hardship seemed cringe and cliche. It had some great plot twists and reveals but the subject matter is hard to stomach.
