like 3.8 maybe?? my first audiobook bc colleen hoover’s books are easy to follow along.

but the twists toward the end of the book omg? concept was also cool. OMG also the fact that ben and jordan started dating was soo weird 😬

I’ve been toying with how many stars to give this book because…. What. The. Hell.
Wh do you do this to me Colleen ?! I need explanations ASAP.

I won’t spoil it for the rest of you, but I am a rainbow of emotions, all spaced on the spectrum of offended to mind blown. The last 25% of this book is giving me major pregnant woman with wild hormone vibes; do we like Ben? Do we find Fallon stupid as shit? What the hell happened there Jordyn?! Idk man. I need time to process this. Also, Glenn, you’re the MVP here and you deserved better shining down on your character. IFKYK.

Overall, I guess a book that makes you feel all the feels deserves at least 4 stars.

This would’ve already been a 5 star read, but the twist just solidified it. Somehow didn’t read as cheesy despite the premise

This book is cringe.

During the first 20 pages I was moderately disgusted by the behaviour of the MMC - and though he slightly gets better, im not sure if his intentions are ever good.
And yeah, the miscommunication trope and the "oh i have this big bad secret" trope.

Colleen Hoover does it again!
Her books are honestly the most gripping and I couldn’t put this down.

With Colleen’s books I always expect some kind of plot twist however, she surprises me with it every single time that I finish her books!
It is never what I expect.

This may be one of my favourite books by her…

I just want to say, at first the storyline was decent. At first I did think Ben was kind of a pervert trying to figure out what panties Fallon was wearing. Anyways when he was saying how he burnt down Fallon’s dads house and making it “justifiable,” was weird I get that you’re grieving but… there was no need for the burning down the house, and not say anything about it. Also Fallon going back to Ben was really messed up. I was happy that she got a restraining order against him, but I feel like in the end Ben should’ve been arrested, and Fallon living her life while understanding what happened on November 9.
