Oh man, I got teary-eyed a few times! I haven’t gone through anything that Colleen Hoover puts in her books, but she makes them so damn relatable. Such a beautiful story that all of the judgmental a*holes should read. Just another reminder to be kind, because you never know what people are going through.

Colleen Hoover is such a powerful writer…I just listened to the full audiobook in a single day for the FIRST TIME! I was compelled and heartbroken by Beyah’s tragic life from the very beginning. And then Samson’s own devastating circumstances crash into hers, igniting a flame that can withstand any storm. I love how the relationship between these two characters grows and changes so much throughout the book. 

In this novel, Hoover exposes the dark truth about survival as a lower-class member of society. She also challenges the dynamic perspectives of high-class and low-class individuals. I really like that she goes deep on this topic. 

The romance was real and deep. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a tense romance!

5/5 star read. 5 out of 5 star read. 

colleen hoover put her whole heart into this book and i’m so happy this is one of my signed copies because idk how to live life rn.

i’m absolutely shook to my core rn. let me start from the beginning and collect my thoughts

from the beginning i knew i was going to love beyah. i knew she was going to be one of those characters that just stick with you forever. this isn’t your normal book. it has soul. it has passion. it has lessons. it has heart. 

the dynamics in this book were some that truly stuck with me. beyah and sara. alana and beyah. beyah and samson. the list goes on it’s so endless.

the writing. the format. the word choices. i cannot express this enough it’s one of my favorite coho books. 

i’ll leave y’all with a quote too <3

“please don’t make me the reason you give it all away.”
