🤮🤮🤮 I literally cannot deal with people romanticizing Ben. He is UNBELIEVABLY toxic and controlling. Has a huge savior complex and has some very serious issues. I honestly feels so bad for Fallon. I’m really not sure how anyone can read this book and think it’s cute and romantic. It’s not. Throwing this book away.

Okay I'm going to try to keep my review as spoiler free as I can because the reason why my review is as low as it is, is due how the book ended & the last section of the book. Going in, and as I was reading I knew it wasn't going to be a five star read (or 10/10), but this book was really hyped up so I wanted to read it through it's entirety. The concept of the book was intriguing. And as I was reading I found myself gaining interest but I honestly wanted to stop at the beginning due to how much I dislike the male main character/love interest. The behavior that he displayed throughout the book made me feel uneasy and the ending didn't make it better. Honestly the ending made me so upset and I've never been this upset over a book before. Probably one of the few things I actually enjoyed was the commentary that Colleen's includes throughout the first couple sections of book bout romance novels. Overall I honestly did not like this book which sucks because It Ends With Us is one of my all the time favorites. I'm about to go read Verity after this and hope it gives Ms. Hoover redemption because November 9 was not it AT ALL.
