This was definitely the most problematic book by Colleen Hoover I’ve read so far. If you’re not a fan of (internal) misogyny, this isn’t the book for you.

I quite liked the idea of only meeting on a certain day, but it was badly executed. I wish I rewatched the ‘Before Sunrise’ trilogy instead of reading November 9.

Probably the best Colleen Hoover book I read so far. (2017)

//its been 5 years and while I haven't read this book again in a while (I think I skim-read some of it two years ago or so), I've definitely thought about it, read other peoples reviews and considered the critiques voiced by others. And honestly speaking, I agree with them. November 9 and other CoHo books as well influenced my view on relationships, and not in a good way. 
I want to be transparent here, so I'm going to leave the short review I wrote in 2017 up. But I'm changing the rating. I cannot with good consience recommend this book without mentioning the critiques about it.
