Listen. I read the reviews before reading this. I read 80 pages the first night, and read the rest today. 

There are time jumps that could seem annoying to most, but in my opinion I found it helped the story. I had an inkling about a few things, but was still surprised at all of the twists! 

I’m giving it a 4/5 as in my opinion, there should definitely be trigger warnings in the beginning of the book — but overall I really enjoyed it!!!

WOW! Such an emotional experience. Once again, Hoovers ability to take horribly tragic events and turn them into such beautiful stories will never cease to amaze me.

Es la primera novela que leo de esta autora, y la verdad que no me ha decepcionado. No suelo leer mucho género romántico porque todos los libros me parecen casi iguales, pero este me ha sorprendido bastante. Le cogí cariño a ambos protagonistas y me gustó la forma en la que estaban conectados. Tal vez me esperaba algo más de acción y drama, pero tampoco está mal. Me ha gustado.

I LOVED this book, I literally didn’t want to put it down. The story was so captivating and I really enjoyed the twists!! I would definitely recommend this book. 

However, there are some trigger warnings but they knowing them spoils the twists.

The book started off really slow. I can't even tell you how many times I almost DNF'd this book. The chapters were just boring in the beginning, but Colleen Hoover is definitely the queen of plot twists because every time I wanted to shut the book out if frustration, she came up with something that kept me wanting to read. I do think that this book is necessary, it sends out the right message for girls who might have gone through something extremely traumatic like Sky went through, I honestly expected this book to be a romance and let me tell you. The romance in the way that I usually read is not up there but it still is a good book, well written, just very slow, slow in the same way It Starts With Us is.
