3.5

I can’t this give this book higher than a 3.5 because of the contents within the last 200 pages. I loved the first half of this book, it might have been slow and uneventful but I liked that.

The last 200 pages definitely have some topics that can be triggering for some readers such as rape, physical abuse (mentioned very briefly), kidnapping, incest and suicide.I didn’t really like that Holder and Sky used sex as a way to cope with everything that was going on as well. I loved the way that they loved each other but for me it was really hard to read those triggering scenes. I went into this book completely blind and I think it is my own fault that I reacted to this book the way that I did. If anyone is thinking about reading this book please look at the possible triggers that this book contains. This is my second Colleen Hoover book and I have enjoyed her writing so far, her books are so easy to read and are really fast paced but this book was just not for me 🤷‍♀️
