Brother's best friend trope.

plot twist is kinda obvious

Didn't like the characters that much, I think they were fine.
That's why the average grade.

Things I liked:
• The parallels between the past relationship and the current relationship.
• The structure of how the past relationship is set out in the chapters.
• I actually liked the development of the past relationship more than the current relationship.

Things I didn’t like:
• The main lead and love interest spent no time together aside from sex before deciding that they loved each other.
• Neither character was really special, I felt like I had read the character a million times.
• Love interest treated the main lead like shit and was forgiven completely in the end just because of his revealed back story.
• I’m sick of books using “tortured tragic male with horrifying backstory” as a main leading plot device.

This book is so full off bullshit, and no I don’t mean the

unrealistic, misogynistic sex scenes. No I mean the whole plod. Tate is the main character but really this book is just a biography of Miles Archer.

By the way she is also perfect in her job, in nurse school and has a beautiful slim body even though she just eats shit and makes no sport, I know very relatable, right. But really she doesn’t feel like a person, because she has no self-driven actions she just does everything Miles wants her to do.

Miles is just using her at his needs and is constantly braking her only rule and plays with her feeling for him. So Tate is in a toxic or even abusive relationship with him, where he is punishing her with distance and passive aggressive anger. Even whose she feels responsible for his mood swings. There is scene where she literally let him rape her, so that he can feel better. In what world do we live in???? And she is always forgiving his for his behavior and is patiently waiting until he wants to be with her.

And Rachel is only described as beautiful and pregnant. What is she? An object? And also she was 17. Miles never asked her if she even wants to be pregnant he just says “we”, yes “we” will get through this. I mean easy to say for HIM. Also Colleen Hoover just left the part out where she is obviously pregnant, because as a teen this must be horrible. Imagine what her classmates will say about her behind her back and name her. She gets the shame because she is exposed with it.

This book should be forbidden. It romanticizes rape, sexism, stereotypes and many more.
