like all colleen hoover books..... it's gripping, enticing, made me sob like a baby, but it's also overflowing with sexism, toxic relationships, pregnancy tropes, and is often described as "trauma porn" which I have to agree with. I seem to keep reading her books out of morbid curiosity and end up with the same result each time- I cry a lot, I have to find out how the story ends, and I'm usually livid by the time the book is over. Also, I need to know WHY the step sibling forbidden love plot was necessary. It added absolutely zero substance to the story and just made it slightly nauseating to read.

I don’t think this author is for me. I found the guy insufferable and the girl barely written. There is a lot of trauma and it feels like it is done just to make the book more dramatic.

Look, this is my first Colleen Hoover book. I love the dynamic between Tate and Miles. Fine with Tate as a character even though she is a lot more shallow and superficial compared to Miles. I'm honestly thinking I must have missed a whole lot of her backstory now that I'm done with the book. I absolutely hate this 6-years ago bullshit flashback that we get from Miles up until the very end. I get it the book might be, however you wish to look at it, critiquing or glorifying teenage pregnancy, but it's done in such a weird ~ugly~ way. All this step-sibling shit was just not what I wanted to get from the book. The smut factor is fine if you like reading for the spice, theres more than enough and it contributes to the plot. Love the book for the spice, except for the step-sibling stuff, like come on.
