Okay I'm going to try to keep my review as spoiler free as I can because the reason why my review is as low as it is, is due how the book ended & the last section of the book. Going in, and as I was reading I knew it wasn't going to be a five star read (or 10/10), but this book was really hyped up so I wanted to read it through it's entirety. The concept of the book was intriguing. And as I was reading I found myself gaining interest but I honestly wanted to stop at the beginning due to how much I dislike the male main character/love interest. The behavior that he displayed throughout the book made me feel uneasy and the ending didn't make it better. Honestly the ending made me so upset and I've never been this upset over a book before. Probably one of the few things I actually enjoyed was the commentary that Colleen's includes throughout the first couple sections of book bout romance novels. Overall I honestly did not like this book which sucks because It Ends With Us is one of my all the time favorites. I'm about to go read Verity after this and hope it gives Ms. Hoover redemption because November 9 was not it AT ALL.

Hoover always has a twist, but this one wasn’t it for me. The writing in this book wasn’t her best either. Usually a Colleen Hoover book is a win for me, but this one was just meh

É que é fácil apaixonarmo-nos, Ben. A parte difícil é quando queremos sair daí.

Acho que esperava que eu a deixasse partir sem dar luta, mas não é do género de rapariga por quem escolhemos as batalhas. É do género de rapariga por quem lutamos até à morte

Quando se encontra o amor, fica-se com ele. Segura-se com as duas mãos e faz-se tudo o que está ao alcance para não o deixar escapar. Não se pode fugir dele e esperar até se estar pronto.

- Ele hoje apareceu na nossa casa à procura da Fallon.
A Amber goza com ele.
- Então e disseste-lhe, sem mais nem menos, onde íamos estar? Porque é que foste fazer uma coisa dessas?
- Ele tem piada! - diz o Glenn, como se fosse um argumento legítimo.

Ainda assimilo o insulto quando vejo o Ben a passar por mim a correr. Antes que consiga ajustar a vista, o punho dele voa. Vejo o Glenn apressar-se para intervir, mas... espera. Não. O Glenn também esmurra o Theodore.
(...)
- Só um momento - diz a Amber, com um dedo levantado enquanto tira o sapato. - Ainda não acabei - Leva o sapato na mão e atira um olhar ameaçador ao Theodore, recuando de seguida para o arremessar, atingindo-o mesmo entre as pernas. - Detesto essas tuas calças ridículas, seu anormal! - grita. - A Fallon merece melhor que tu, e NANTUCKET TAMBÉM!
