Wow. I’d read a couple of Colleen Hoover books before that I wasn’t into, so I wasn’t expecting much when I started this, but it blew me away. I was hooked from the beginning and loved all of the characters. The plot twists had me genuinely shocked and I loved them.

I really loved the scene

from the 5th (?) November 9 outside of the nightclub where Ben, Glenn, and Amber all fight Theodore for Fallon. Honestly, the whole nightclub chapter was amazing.

The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I didn’t like the plot line about

Ben and Jordyn dating. It felt very weird and uncharacteristic of them both (plus, Ben called her his sister in the chapter right before- I get that he didn’t mean literally, but still it was strange). It was also odd that Ben was unable to understand why Fallon left him, considering she explained herself pretty well. It felt like he had ignored everything she said when he kept saying she left him and didn’t love him. All in all though, it wasn’t a super long part of the book thankfully so I got over it.

Yes I can see how this book could be seen as unrealistic because honestly who would do any of this with a stranger. However I loved it I was caring about the characters and I just wanted them to be together and be happy. I do wish that I got to see what they were doing on the other 364 days and got to know a little bit more about them aside from the romance.
