Overall very catching story, that you can’t let go, but the ending did feel a bit rushed.

I wasn't fully in love with the main characters. They seemed a little too juvenile for me.  The book had some tragic moments in them that were surprising, but honestly not my favorite Colleen Hoover book. I don't think I really felt the full connection the book was trying to project.

This was truly on the WORST books I have ever read. The characters were insufferable. It reads like Wattpad fanfic. The one sexual scene was not sexy and left me feeling gross. All I got from this book was that it’s okay to wait around for someone even if you basically give up your life and they aren’t speaking to you! Stop giving young girls (this is technically YA) these ideas. Young women should not be taught to wait around for years on a man and give up their lives. This book should be taken off YA shelves. Just because you say she shouldn’t wait around for him doesn’t make the fact that she did any better?
