3.5

Colleen Hoover needs a content warning on every book I've read of hers and this one is no exception.  It wasn't as emotionally disturbing as some of her other books and it really did have a good story line. Big twist at the end. But this will probably be my last book of hers. I don't much care for her writing style or her need to write about such emotionally disturbed characters. I find myself waiting fir that ax to fall and it has taken away from the story for me.

Really not that great but also was really enticing. I wanted to know how things turned out, but the plot twist was really upsetting.

Though the plot somewhat predictable, the turns in several tremendous events successfully added enough drama to it which made the story more compelling to be read. Overall, it's a light read and page turning book.
