4.0

I was tossing up between whether this was a 3.5 or a 4 star book for me, but when I look at the other books I have given 3.5 stars to I do think overall this book was better (in some ways) and I think it covers an important topic that needs to be depicted more in media so it deserves some extra points for that in my eyes. 
While this book is far from perfect, and technically it had a couple rough patches in the first 1/2 of the book that I found really jarring and pulled me out of immersion into the story. I also found some of the dialogue to be a weird choice, but could get behind most of considering what headspace the two main characters were in. I do think Colleen Hoover did an amazing job of creating two fully fleshed out characters that I personally thought went beyond the labels of good, bad and grey and just felt completely human. We saw so many sides of them and the journey that had got them there. Everything that happened felt like something I could see myself or a friend doing/saying if they were going through similar circumstances.  
I also appreciated that this infertility story didn't end up with a miracle pregnancy, because as Quinn states herself they are rare and more women having infertility problems wont end up with that ending.  It's important to see people coming to terms with their life being different than what they had planned but being able to still have a happy life even though its different.
