After finishing the book I wondered to myself, why did I read this? The truth is I get fomo and my curiosity of understanding what gives writing mass appeal got the better of me. Colleen Hoover wrote the worst romantic male lead I’ve ever read. I remember when he was fucking his dead brother’s wife I was screaming with rage, but babes I was in for an even worse storm and I didn’t know it.
Also the fact that he got an agent to potentially publish his story detailing the very criminal action he committed without fear of law enforcement is peak white privilege.
ALSO THAT CLUB SCENE. Remember girlies it’s not SA if you like it. Even if you’re saying stop or nothing at all. It’s not assault if you’re wet due to a natural physiological response the body does to prevent injury not out of arousal (read Come As You Are by Dr. Emily Nagoski Colleen Hoover Stan’s PLEASE). In case you don’t understand the tone I’m being sarcastic. Fallon was assaulted in the club by Ben and her moaning does not change the fact that she was not consenting ESPECIALLY BC SHE WAS DRUNK AND HE KNEW IT. UGHHH IM SO ANGRY
In the words of Taylor, “I wish you’d left me wondering”

Are you trying to tell me that the book about
*Cough*
Abuse, sexual assault, gaslighting, stalking, scar (that are you falt) fetishizing, dead-brother-wife-who-you-see-as-your-sister fucking, marking people who attend suicide as „attention seekers” and much, much more shit is a „romance book”?
You must be joking

Honestly, after everything that happened to piss me off about Ben and his totally inappropriate behavior and mental degradement of Fallon, the plot twist wasn't that surprising. But Hoover's completion of Fallon's complete boundaryless personality by her forgiveness of Ben just put a nail in the coffin of this so-called "romance" novel.

I started off really enjoying this book. I liked the concept, the romance and the chemistry the characters have together.
I hate how it is written to make it sound like anyone with scars/disabilities should be embarrassed about it. I hated the assault scene and how it was just brushed under the carpet. I hated the
