It was good! I think it dragged on for way too long and it felt like a chore to finish it, but the storyline was nice! I really, really loved the ending, though I wish we could've seen more of a make-up story with Kenna, Grace, and Patrick. 

*edit*
now that I'm thinking abt it, i really am not a fan. idk it was bleh. whenever someone talks about it i cringe 

would most likely reread it, but not definitely ☑️

Colleen Hoover has done it again! This is a fantastic book. It’s so raw and real, similar to another one of her books; It Ends With Us. It’s a dark, deep, serious books, with quite a bit of romance in it, but not too much to hide the deep messages in the story. I really loved this book. 

There were points that I felt really lacked, and made me wish I loved it more. So much happened in the end 50 or so pages, it could have been spread out so much more, it felt rushed this way. I still loved the ending though I wish there was more substance. 

I think the amount of substance throughout this book was really the only thing I disliked. I wish we got more flashbacks or descriptions of Scotty. It’s hard to mourn him as a reader when there isn’t much to go off of besides the main characters’ thoughts. It would have been great to get more insight to his personality or more meaningful memories. Because of that, I didn’t feel as connected to the book as I wished to be. 

I still do feel connected to the characters and I really loved all of them, but some of the sad scenes could have been more impactful if we had more of Scotty. 

All in all, I did enjoy this book. Colleen’s storytelling is incredible, and her characters really pull at your heart. Definitely another great novel of hers!

I’m so sorry Colleen hoover but pleeease stop with the names. Ledger? Diem? It’s sooo off putting to me. I found this book ok. I enjoyed reading it and it kept me wanting to go back for more. I struggled to see ledger in my head and also kenna, but I think they did a good job of giving life to scotty without him having to be there. It wasn’t my favourite Colleen hoover book so far but it also wasn’t awful.
