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.

First Coleen Hoover novel I've read and I now understand her popularity. I enjoyed this book so much I actually wish it was a bit longer so some parts could be explored or expanded further. The confession inspired art was a cool idea and I liked the inclusion of the art images in the book too. I thought Owen and Emory were great, I love their individual dorkiness and found them interesting. The main character I didn't have such a connection with, she was boring and weak and so the strength she finds at the very end doesn't work for me. I really liked how the ending explained the connection, very sweet.
