I just do not get why people like colleen Hoover books. It’s like watching a daytime television soap opera, the plot twist were obvious the traumas were so extreme. The characters were kind of just unbelievable. The girl was just OK not knowing anything about this guy, but she just had such a strong connection to him anyway? Right… And Miles was miraculously cured of his trauma and clearly ptsd after he spoke to his ex? None of this is realistic and it’s not even a remotely fun unrealism. It’s just kind of outlandish and silly and since the characters never actual connect emotionally it’s hard to connect to them emotionally as a reader.

He has a past, it’s dark and he doesn’t want to ever experience anything like that again. So he will not date or be involved with anyone in a romantic way, because that leads to love and he can’t do that again either. But when Tate moves in across the hall he can’t stay away. So they agree to a situationship, just sex, no talking about the past or the future.
This book was good!! I love a story that makes me feel something and this one broke my heart and pieced it together again.

Reread in 2024. A compulsively readable, messy story of the ugly parts of loving someone and letting them love you back. I will admit I found myself more frustrated with this book the second time around, particularly with Miles and the dissonance between his words and actions (which is the entire point of this book, but it just didn’t land the same way for me re-reading it)

I would have really loved to see more of Miles working on himself outside of the relationship and working with a professional. Everything wrapped up so magically and cleanly here.

All that said, I still really enjoy reading this book and the part of me that relishes reading about messy relationships is certainly satisfied (The “just finish” scene lives in my brain rent free)

I honestly loved the book but and would’ve given it 5 starts,but i hate how it had the “stander” female role of low self love and being blinded by lust they let the guy walk all over them. But i loved Miles and reading about their story.
