Colleen Hoover writing an almost non-toxic male lead? Someone call the BBC. Heavy on that 'almost' though. A good book. It had very cute, summery romance vibes, and if I had to guess I'd definitely say this would be a good beach read. Maybe I should've saved this one for the summer.

This was my second Colleen Hoover book, and I was not disappointed. It was so easy to read, and once the climax began, it was hard to put down. I expected to cry, but I didn’t; that’s fine, though. The ending was satisfying, and I found myself quickly falling in love with the characters. My favorites were Sara and Pepper Jack Cheese (I’m such a sucker for animals). The plot twist was unexpected for me but that’s Colleen for you 😂.

I also really liked that she showed the complexity of Samson’s life and the motives for his crimes

Side note: the cover is absolutely gorgeous; props to Murphy Rae.
