This is one of the worst books I have ever read. The writing felt like a bad wattpad story. There was almost no showing; it was all telling. I don’t even know how I was supposed to root for that relationship. Ben was toxic and horrible and Fallon was boring and whiney. There was no chemistry between them! It also just felt like we were trying to check off different types of trauma to put in a book.

This was a roller coaster. I didn't really like it at first (I found Ben annoying), then by the middle I was actually enjoying myself and rooting for them. Then the big twist happened, and just... what? It ruined the whole book for me, honestly.

I’m not sure why this book gets as much hate as it does. I enjoyed this book. Like all of Hoover’s work, it took me through an emotional journey and had me hooked from the first page.

An interesting concept, and I read through it relatively fast so it was something I enjoyed in a way. But the relationship dynamic was a bit disturbing- it felt like it romanticized and normalized behaviors and dynamics that shouldn't be. The twists and turns shocked me..

Not what all the hype was about. But it was an easy read with (semi-predictable) twists.
