Hoover always has a twist, but this one wasn’t it for me. The writing in this book wasn’t her best either. Usually a Colleen Hoover book is a win for me, but this one was just meh

v much like people we meet on vacation. not rlly that graphic. honey that’s trauma bonding not love. he was def fun but also 🚩. i will say she was a bit annoying at times but not terrible. yay body positivity. book boys who are also writers automatically have my heart. certain plot twists were unnecessary. MILES.  ending was v abrupt and forced.

“You’ll never be able to find yourself if you’re lost in someone else.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have reread this book possibly two-three times within the past 5 years. It feels that I never understood this book as deeply as I did this time around. 
At first, I thought it was a bit too unrealistic for me with the stranger to lovers/fake dating trope and the two characters Fallon and Ben falling in love with each other with only three or so days within three years. But, that bothersome dissolved a bit and I just enjoyed the influx’s of emotions felt. 
I liked seeing the true and real feelings both characters had not only towards each other on their rocky hill of experiences but, I also enjoyed their feelings and thoughts of themselves. We just see the changes and character development and I enjoyed that. I definitely annotated with many impacting statements, funny lines, and loving statements said.
