PROS:
•The characters are realistic—they don’t have extreme mood swings like you’ll find in a bunch of romance books.
•Only a little cheesy
•Though there is cheating involved, it’s mostly in the form of emotional attachment, so there was no spice up until the second to last chapter.
•This book presents different forms of intimacy outside of spice, which is actually really sweet.
•There were two points that caught me off guard and actually made me laugh out loud.
CONS:
•I don’t like the emotional cheating (and physical too, but on that end it was just a kiss compared to these characters being FULLY EMOTIONALLY CONNECTED on a VERY romantic level) that happens in this book.

The soundtrack that goes along with this novel is FANTASTIC - you should totally listen to the songs as they appear in the novel. This just brought in a whole new element to the story (and my reading) that I missed the acoustic guitar when I had to continue on. What I need is an acoustic version (no lyrics) of all those songs to play while I'm reading in the future!
Some of those twists in to create the 3rd act of the novel - my goodness Colleen how do you think of this stuff!

I love Warren! Always will! I read maybe not before I read this one so I knew warrens story!!
I get why people didn’t finish this book because of the cheating but I don’t find it massively triggering even tho I’ve had personal experiences! If cheating is a trigger than this whole book is just not a book for you!
I am excited to read maybe now and finish this series!
I never thought I would read Colleen Hoover because her books just didn’t seem like something I would enjoy. Now I’ve tried her out I realise I do like her writing style!
