That was heavy yet refreshing read. I connected so much with main characters and OMG I love Owen. And I loved how fate ties you with someone you barely knew existed. And let’s appreciate the naming ability of CoHo what a beautiful name Auburn is 🥰🫶🏻🥹

I’m going to think about this book every night for so long 🍂🥰🥹🫶🏻💕

This is only 1 of 3 Colleen Hoover books that I have read and I can say for sure it's not worth reading. 

The overall premise of the book seems great at the start, but slowly turns into a predictable plot, alongside a story of a forced romance turned abusive. The characters are not likeable in the slightest and I had to force myself to continue reading this book with how boring and predictable the plot was. If you are a fan of Colleen Hoover or not, this is a book from her that you can skip out on.

Not bad but I felt like this was a combination of It Ends With Us and Reminders of Him. Too many similarities and the ending was very abrupt. Lots of build up and then bam, problems all resolved and a happy ending that just seemed too good to be true/too far-fetched. Not a bad story, just not my favorite.
