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.
