I kinda wish this was my first Colleen Hoover book I'd ever read. Great love, great story, great twist, and a HEA. Both Ben and Fallon were easy loveable characters. Ben seemed almost too unreal though honestly. Is there a guy actually out there who would make such grand gestures? Please @ yourself.

Characters like this are what makes people believe they can treat women however they want and get away with it. 

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

“I have never wanted to pin a girl to the floor before now” comment.

I hated the ending and how she forgave him for doing something so unforgivable. Fuck this book.

wow, this book actually made me extremely emotional, the plot twist i actually didn’t see coming and if you said you did, you probably lied let’s be real here like… wow i’m just so shocked. i know it’s unrealistic but i loved fallon and ben’s relashionship and each november 9 was personal in their own ways, it was super heartbreaking but the way he constantly made her feel special & the quotes in this book and just the undying love they had for eachother. also her story was super sad and how they both connected on a personal level the chemistry was just there. and i love the manuscript and the explanations and the writing was super addictive. i was hooked
