I give this book 2.25 out of five stars. Though I feel this is the least toxic, trauma-bonded relationship to be displayed in this particular Colleen Hoover series thus far, the individuals themselves are still practicing toxic behaviors, feed into trauma bonding, and are unbelievably poor communicators. Instead of communicating, they repeatedly hurt their partner.
I am starting to wonder if CoHo has written about any healthy relationships.

I found this book to be kind of a hard read. I have read 4 other books by this author that I FLEW through. This one. Not so much. I feel like there was a lot of filler in this particular book. I also picked it up thinking it would just be going along the theme of the other books in the series and was shocked to see the subject matter. I think the book was filled with saddness the whole way through, which made it hard for me to read. Very little light at the end of the tunnel until the VERY end.

This book was so good I started it the day before we traveled for a week and ended up borrowing it on kindle from the library just to finish. This is book #4 of the Hopeless series and by far my favorite!
One thing I would like to mention is if you are considering this novel as part of the series, please look up the trigger warnings! There are heavy conversations around infidelity, and a strong premise of infertility issues throughout the entire book
