Everything made sense, the ending was just perfect and you could really experience the growth of the characters. The story gave me butterflies as well as several streams of tears running down my face. Colleen Hoover never disappoints. Hopefully, I‘ll always remember my first time reading this.

I was critical at the start but the story took all my doubts away.
Short summary
The city of nice apartments, adorable people at the elevator and hot pilots. Very hot pilots. Very kind, warm pilots across the hallway. if you'd ask Tate how San Fransisco is, this is probably the answer she will give you. Tate is a learning nurse but working and studying isn't her main priority anymore. After moving in her brother's (Corbin) apartment, she found out that love is not always the way it is portrait in movies. Miles, the friendly, mysterious neighbor and simultaneously the Corbin's best friend. He had a past which he cannot move on from, however, Tate might be able to make this a lot easier. After all, it is easier to fly than to fall in love.
My thoughts (no detailed spoilers)
Colleen definitely know something about writing. Her use of perspectives and time jumping was quite intriguing, it made you even more excited about the character's story. And oh my lord, the way this romance is written was absolutely amazing. Hearts were broken, mend, shattered and melt together. Though I must say, I missed quite the adventure there wasn't much going on beside Tate and Miles. Which, in this plot, might fit better than others but there certainly was a lack of side plots, however, that might just be my opinion. Same with the ending of the book. I guess it could've been a bit more detailed and slower-paced. Especially since I have acknowledged how Colleen is capable of doing a great job at detailed and precise writing.
therefore, a 4,5 and not a 5 stars read.
