I gave this 4 stars because I was drawn in from the second page. I read the entire book in one day but the more I think about this book the more questions I have.
I feel that there are holes in the story that I would have liked more information on.
I was hoping the ending would be different than it was but it just left me with more questions.
I love the main characters and I’m looking forward to reading the second one but I hope it’s better than this one.

NEVER NEVER read this book!!! Sorry what?? This didn’t make any sense. Hoover you have so much potential and I felt SO ripped off on this book.
Part 1 is really good. Can't wait for parts 2 and 3
This is like a taste of something really good - that just leaves you wanting more.
Colleen Hoover can really develop characters nicely. Not having read anything by Tarryn Fisher I didn't know what to expect - but I have to say that if this is what the combination turns up, then it's a great writing team. They seem to play well off one another's strengths.
In terms of story development and plot, it's interesting. Hoover hasn't gone paranormal before. Again, I haven't read Fisher but she's gone into the whole memory-loss thing with her Love Me with Lies series. Her characters seem edgy; they're not the nice girl next door by any means. The backdrop of New Orleans and the whole occult culture there is the perfect setting for the mystery of it. There's a side character mentioned briefly, and I have my suspicions that she's the catalyst in the story. I wonder if this will follow a plot line similar to Beauty and the Beast - less than savory characters have to change for lives to improve. Maybe the beast in this story is the state of their lives.
As far as romance, this is very YA. These are regular high school kids. The mystery and paranormal aspects of the story really overshadow the romance at this point in the story. But don't be fooled - there's still a heavy dose of romance developing here.
There's a major cliffhanger, so it might be advisable to wait until the whole story is complete before reading it. For the rest of us, we need that sequel now. Immediately. As in, yesterday. Colleen Hoover has hooked us and it will be torture waiting for the next installment.

It was a great read all the way up until the end. The ending and the reason everything was happening made no sense to me. I hated it lol I wanted to love this but I couldn’t.
This book hooked me with its mystery, maybe because of the small cast of characters, which made me focused on figuring out the ending.

I really did not expect to like this book as much as I did. Colleen Hoover is really hit or miss with me. Sometimes her stories are so wonderfully written and thought out, other times they are extremely cringey and hard to read. This book somehow manages to spread itself in both of these directions. It is VERY cringey but I Loved it (Maybe Tarryn Fisher's influence?) and I loved watching Silas and Charlie fall in love over and over. The way Silas adores and loves Charlie is just beautiful. I also really liked the explanation for what was happening to them. This book is an absolute page turner and I raced through this book so quickly to try find the answer to their memory loss! I very much recommend.
