The main reason I got this book was because people said it got them out of their reading slump! As I was experiencing one, this book took me quite some while to read! I wasn’t hooked on it to the point where I could not put it down! Plot is good, the very ending did make my jaw drop, but other than that the book is almost a 4 for me! I would recommend it to the others but definitely not my favorite!

THIS BOOK IS INSANE! So many twists, Colleen Hoover made a masterpiece with this one. I will say though, it is very dark and it made me take small breaks because a lot written was unbelievable but wow this book was so good and I was satisfied with the ending because it all comes down to the reader and their thoughts! I will definitely be reading this again!

The book was very entertaining & I was eager to continue reading it. The ending was such a twist but I will admit I did not like that it kept going back and forth between the characters in every chapter! I also had a lot of questions about the ending!

There are mixed opinions about this book but I loved it! There is a specific page where they reveal the twist which I found myself reading again to make sure I read correctly hehe. After reading it, I realized there was a lot that could’ve been left out but overall such a great book!
