I honestly went into this book thinking that I wouldn’t enjoy it but, saying that would be wrong. While I did enjoy the book, I feel as though Colleen Hoover tackles such harsh topics without a delicate hand. It’s disappointing seeing the topics that were covered so callously and it felt as though it was thrown in for shock value. However, I do think that this is a well written book. I really enjoy the plot, and while I did have a feeling about the ending, I still was just as shocked as if I didn’t know it. She did throw in a great twist at the end, and I would be excited to read something similar if it wasn’t so gruesome in it’s nature regarding topics that are hard for most people. I probably will pick up this book when I’m in the mood for feeling scared, but I don’t think I will be recommending this to anybody who may be has suffered some of the themes that were covered in this book.
