I read this in 3 hours so i’d say it was an easy read. I had figured out the ending about halfway through the book but it still managed to surprise me with the twist at the end that I did not expect! I’m not a fan of the way Hoover writes but I will say this was an unexpected book and it was interesting!

🇫🇮 Colleen Hoover osaa ainakin kirjoittaa kirjan, jota ei malta laskea käsistään. Tämänkin kirjan suosion ymmärtää, kun kirjan saa loppuun. Osan kirjan tapahtumista arvasin, mutta kyllä tämä silti jätti ihmettelemään kirjan loputtua.

Jos haluat kirjan, joka onnistuu yllättämään, niin voin suositella kirjaa.  Nyt jään odottamaan, että loput kirjakerhosta saa tämän loppuun ja pääsen keskustelemaan kaikesta! 👀

🇬🇧 Colleen Hoover knows how to write a book you can not put down. You will understand the popularity of this book when you finish the book. I guessed some of the events in the book, but this still left me wondering when the book ended.

If you want a book that manages to surprise you, I can recommend the book. Now I'll wait for the rest of the book club to finish this and so I can talk about everything! 👀
