This book should have a trigger warning list. 

I was waiting for Holden to hit her the entire book, and waiting for “Sky” to realize that she wasn’t experiencing lust for the first time but fight or flight. 

I then got to page 149 where something sinister comes to light and couldn’t read this book word for word anymore. I don’t know if it says something about the predictability but I was able to skip absolute chapters without missing a single important thing. 

Trauma as a plot device seems sloppy but I’m not an author.

I really loved the book but the SA scenes were too much and too graphic for my liking

Massively enjoyed this book. I loved both of the main characters. I found some character traits confusing at the start, but their challenges made so much more sense after the twist was revealed and that made me love the characters at the start more in retrospect too. I didn't see the twist coming at all too, which doesn't happen often! A Colleen Hoover that I'd definitely recommend 🥰

Thoroughly enjoyed the entire book and couldn’t stop listening. Too bad the last hour gave me the ick to the point that I was physicaly uncomfortable. Not so much the subject matter that was the problem, but rather the way the author dealt with it. Not sure I would recommend this book to anyone.

Listen. I read the reviews before reading this. I read 80 pages the first night, and read the rest today. 

There are time jumps that could seem annoying to most, but in my opinion I found it helped the story. I had an inkling about a few things, but was still surprised at all of the twists! 

I’m giving it a 4/5 as in my opinion, there should definitely be trigger warnings in the beginning of the book — but overall I really enjoyed it!!!
