Not the sort of book I would normally go for. As I went to a spa day with my mum and sister and I had nothing to read, she let me read her book, which was this one.

It's sort of smutty, which I now know is not my thing!

The general vibe is how to recover from a broken relationship and how to make a life with someone else.

The two characters really need to learn to communicate, and not assume the worst all the time. Also, pick up on what is being said about your partner's mental and body health! In a world where everyone is supposed to be virile and fertile, not everyone is, and that can destroy a person.

Some of the things that happened in this story were close to what I have seen others go through, so I did struggle a bit to not to sob. Thank goodness for indoor swimming pools! You can wipe your tears away while everyone things you're just wiping away the sweat!

I'm glad I read this, so I know what I am not interested in.

I was eager to start this, but also sceptical with others of Colleen Hoovers books after hearing very mixed things, especially having read it ends with us. I felt it started really slowly and dragged for such a short book, especially as it felt like it became a bit repetitive in the beginning. In saying that, some of the topics it touches on were dealt with well. I enjoyed it but wouldn’t say I fell in love with it all.

5 ⭐ hands down. This book BROKE ME. It's honestly why I don't read many romance books because my eyes hurt too much from all the weeping and sobbing I tend to do (being an empath has it's severe drawbacks, crying over everything is one of them). I feel like my review deserves more than just this.... But I honestly need some time to reflect. What I WILL say is this.... My standards in who I fall in love with are so high now, I may just accept that I'll be alone forever.... Because if I can't find a man like Graham Wells... Well then, I DONT WANT HIM. This book is the PERFECT representation of what true, unconditional love looks like and how far you can go when you never give up on the person you love... Flaws and all their perfects.

I did like this book, I did enjoy it. But I did feel it was a bit repeatative  and slow in some parts. 
It is very sad and to have experienced a problem with infertility recently I thought maybe this isn't the book for me but kept reading as I wanted to see how the character pulled through. 
Please read the trigger warnings before jumping into this though. Very emotional.
