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.

hmmm… the end kind of fixed some issues I had with this, but I still feel like there’s a lot of problematic tropes at play here. Regardless, I had a good time
