It's been a little while since I picked up a Colleen Hoover book, and I ended up picking this one up this month as my final Likewise book for my experiment, and I had high hopes for it. This book was suspenseful because of what we learned about Sky. So it was like this high school romance between Holder and Sky, but Sky has had an interesting past. The book is written from Sky's point of view and is kind of like a journal with entries in it. I like the reveals that happened in this book, but I'm just kind of past the whole high school thing. If I had read it in high school or right after it, I think I would've enjoyed it a little bit more, but I'm just so burnt out on high school romances. But I will say this one did have some really interesting twists, and I appreciated it not being the run-of-the-mill high school romance. I don't want to pick up the sequel, but I want to read all of Hoover's books, so I'll end up reading them. I just don't know when I'll get to it since next month I plan on reading only thriller/horror books

One of the best Colleen Hoover books that I’ve read. While Sky’s past starts to become clear, Hoover unfolds the story in such a way that it doesn’t feel predictable.
