I went in a but hesitant for this one not sure why. Cause I absolutely loved it. 
It began off slow and I was almost like , this is not for me and was finding it a bit on the boring side but I pushed through and glad I did as it picked up and  BOOM! . I was hooked. 
Very intense, I wanted to know more about Sky and her life what happened, how did this lead to that etc. And those reveals at the end omg. 
But my heart broke a couple of times and I just felt heavy.

This book made me realize things in my life that I knew deep down I just didn't want to admit or be true. It helped me realize it's not all that bad though. It gave me hope.

Listen. I read the reviews before reading this. I read 80 pages the first night, and read the rest today. 

There are time jumps that could seem annoying to most, but in my opinion I found it helped the story. I had an inkling about a few things, but was still surprised at all of the twists! 

I’m giving it a 4/5 as in my opinion, there should definitely be trigger warnings in the beginning of the book — but overall I really enjoyed it!!!

I know I’m In the minority here but I really had a hard time finishing this book.  I really didn’t like it at all and I have read a lot of Colleen Hoover books so I’m sorry to say this is my least favorite.  
First:  It is excruciatingly slow.  In the beginning we meet Sky, a homeschooled teenage girl who sneaks boys into her room at night to make out with them but doesn’t feel a thing.  
Second:  The male love interest is a secretive moody guy who randomly has rage attacks and treats Hope like crap and she never questions him.  It’s maddening to watch a female character just go along with a guy she doesn’t know very well and completely not questions his moods or how he treats her in them.
Third:  The dialogue is very childish sometimes and wayyy to cheesy to be believable.  
Fourth:  What this book really end up being about is childhood sexual trauma and the entire way it’s handled is very frustrating.  Basically if you find yourself a moody, angsty hot teenage boy who will have sex with you the moment you find out something traumatic you will get through anything life throws you.  You don’t need mental health counselors or professional help, just get a horny teenage boy and whoops there goes all that trauma. 
I really love Colleen Hoover and I’m sad that I couldn’t like this one.  But it really was just unbelievable and I just couldn’t like this book for the fourth reason alone.
