Wow oh wow, you know how people say you know a good actor when their character is a villain and you hate them so much because they play the part so well and forget their not actually that person? Well Colleen you had me wanting to hate this book for how frustrated I was with the drama haha but I realized it’s because your such a great writer! Ahhh I yelled so many times at this book haha it was worth it :)

4.25 ⭐️ I could not put this one down. My jaw literally dropped at the beginning. Only complaint is some of it dragged out too long. SO much could have been resolved if everyone just talked and expressed their thoughts and feelings! THE END?? Ugh so good

Wow!

I haven't cried or laughed so much while reading a book in a long time! This broke me and fixed me and had me smiling through the tears! Brilliant

This was my first from Colleen Hoover and I was in love! This definitely needs to be a movie… I will now need to read all of her books.

Nothing like #CoHo for maximum emotional enjoyment!

This story is told from the alternating perspectives of Morgan Grant and her teenage daughter Clara, who have a strained relationship. Morgan got pregnant and married young, and wants to prevent Clara from making the same mistakes. Clara rebels against her mother and falls in love with a boy who has a connection to their family’s past.

Description

Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing alike.

Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same mistakes she did. By getting pregnant and married way too young, Morgan put her own dreams on hold. Clara doesn't want to follow in her mother's footsteps. Her predictable mother doesn't have a spontaneous bone in her body.

With warring personalities and conflicting goals, Morgan and Clara find it increasingly difficult to coexist. The only person who can bring peace to the household is Chris--Morgan's husband, Clara's father, and the family anchor. But that peace is shattered when Chris is involved in a tragic and questionable accident. The heartbreaking and long-lasting consequences will reach far beyond just Morgan and Clara.

While struggling to rebuild everything that crashed around them, Morgan finds comfort in the last person she expects to, and Clara turns to the one boy she's been forbidden to see. With each passing day, new secrets, resentment, and misunderstandings make mother and daughter fall further apart. So far apart, it might be impossible for them to ever fall back together.

Was kinda slow after the accident but picked up after a while. The ending was SOOOOO good! Only thing that makes this not a 5 star read is that personally, I could never be certain my husband was having an affair with my sister without the MOST concrete evidence. Have that baby’s dna confirmed before you tell your daughter, etc. I wouldn’t be able to live my life based on an assumption, if we we thought we felt “sure enough” without it.
