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

I have never read Colleen Hoover so I went into this book thinking the worst but I quite enjoyed reading it. The book follows a story of quinn whose marriage is falling apart while experiencing infertility. Every other chapter it changes from now to then when the characters first met and I really liked it as we could see the impact that infertility has had on them. Quite an emotional read as I was tearing up on the end and I would recommend even if you are a colleen hoover hater. Although it has some flaws as viewing abortions as selfish but I enjoyed that aspect of the book since it showed how much Quinn grieved and longed for a child.

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.
