I just do not get why people like colleen Hoover books. It’s like watching a daytime television  soap opera, the plot twist were obvious the traumas were so extreme. The characters were kind of just unbelievable. The girl was just OK not knowing anything about this guy, but she just had such a strong connection to him anyway? Right… And Miles was miraculously cured of his trauma and clearly ptsd   after he spoke to his ex? None of this is realistic and it’s not even a remotely fun unrealism. It’s just kind of outlandish and silly and since the characters never actual connect emotionally it’s hard to connect to them emotionally as a reader.
