The book would have been enjoyable if Quinn wasn’t so irritating throughout the book. She was just so unlikable. If she really wanted to have children so badly, she could have just left her husband to be with someone who was qualified to adopt children. Shit, what an annoying character! And I don’t know why she wanted children so badly anyway. Children are hard to raise and it’s expensive to raise them. The husband was great though. The patience and love he had for his wife was so admirable. I love that he wrote letters for her throughout the years.

That saved their marriage in the end.

The book was all right.

I loved the love story is this book, that being said there were elements I felt were problematic and totally unnecessary.

I just wanted to preface that this book took me over two months to read because I lost interest at first and the main character, Quinn was insufferable but yet I had sympathy for her because of her infertility.

COHO tackled the issue of infertility both perfectly and imperfectly. I know it sounds contradictory but I don’t know how I feel about this book. I guess it was just ok.

I love that they made lemons out of lemonade at the end of the book. They moved to Italy and adopted a dog named, August. They came up with funny answers to strangers ignorant question about “when are they having kids or do they have kids”?

Oh I loved the LETTERS as well!! This wasn’t my favorite COHO book since this took me a while to read.

Emotionally-gripping quick read. Content-wise, this was a tough to get through. Tough relationship and marital topics explored here. My book ratings/reactions are never a result of characters because I appreciate when authors write imperfect characters because that's real. But I still need to comment that I dislike Quinn and Graham. Quinn was good at psycho-analyzing and knew perfectly well what was wrong in their marriage, yet she wanted Graham to love her more than she him. That was so toxic. And Graham is honestly too much. He comes on too strong throughout their relationship with how fast he moves and all the gran gestures. In real life it wouldn't be healthy.

He also gaslit her about his cheating.

And both of them have major communication issues.

While the letters were eloquent, all of those feelings should have been voiced out loud in real time. I was a bit frustrated with the "happy ending." I'm thankful that the epilogue acknowledged that the letters didn't fix everything.

emotional sad fast-paced

I love that Colleen Hoover isn’t afraid of approaching difficult situations and this one is no different. I was very emotionally invested in this couple and I kept wanting to shake them and say “TALK TO EACH OTHER”. It is very emotional and heartbreaking for most of this book. Not my favorite of all CoHo but it was definitely good. And this definitely doesn’t feel like a romance to me, it is so much more than that.

It has a happy ending of course, and CoHo doesn’t ruin it by giving them a baby, that would cheapen the story so so much. I love that they find a happy but REAL ending to the story, with the lasting effect of her infertility and it’s sadness but that she shares it now and they find a new happy ending.
