🇫🇮 Colleen Hoover osaa ainakin kirjoittaa kirjan, jota ei malta laskea käsistään. Tämänkin kirjan suosion ymmärtää, kun kirjan saa loppuun. Osan kirjan tapahtumista arvasin, mutta kyllä tämä silti jätti ihmettelemään kirjan loputtua.

Jos haluat kirjan, joka onnistuu yllättämään, niin voin suositella kirjaa.  Nyt jään odottamaan, että loput kirjakerhosta saa tämän loppuun ja pääsen keskustelemaan kaikesta! 👀

🇬🇧 Colleen Hoover knows how to write a book you can not put down. You will understand the popularity of this book when you finish the book. I guessed some of the events in the book, but this still left me wondering when the book ended.

If you want a book that manages to surprise you, I can recommend the book. Now I'll wait for the rest of the book club to finish this and so I can talk about everything! 👀

I actually, rather grudgingly, have to give this a good rating. It's ridiculous, it's batshit crazy. It made me laugh at moments it shouldn't have *because* it was batshit crazy. But it did have me invested and the ending did actually get me. I wasn't expecting that. And the writing was good barring the profound amount of sex and absurdity.
