I went in a but hesitant for this one not sure why. Cause I absolutely loved it. 
It began off slow and I was almost like , this is not for me and was finding it a bit on the boring side but I pushed through and glad I did as it picked up and  BOOM! . I was hooked. 
Very intense, I wanted to know more about Sky and her life what happened, how did this lead to that etc. And those reveals at the end omg. 
But my heart broke a couple of times and I just felt heavy.

WOW! Such an emotional experience. Once again, Hoovers ability to take horribly tragic events and turn them into such beautiful stories will never cease to amaze me.

The book started off really slow. I can't even tell you how many times I almost DNF'd this book. The chapters were just boring in the beginning, but Colleen Hoover is definitely the queen of plot twists because every time I wanted to shut the book out if frustration, she came up with something that kept me wanting to read. I do think that this book is necessary, it sends out the right message for girls who might have gone through something extremely traumatic like Sky went through, I honestly expected this book to be a romance and let me tell you. The romance in the way that I usually read is not up there but it still is a good book, well written, just very slow, slow in the same way It Starts With Us is.
