Once again Colleen Hoover has made me cry
Once again Colleen Hoover has made me cry
I was hesitant going into this because I hate when authors use the death of a parent as a plot device for romance, but I didn't feel like that happened here. I loved this book, I was in tears from chapter 1 (but that tends to happen with dead dad storylines).
4.5 ⭐️ The beginning and end had me hooked but the middle got a bit boring and repetitive in my opinion. There were many times in the last 100 pages that I had tears in my eyes. This book is such a good reminder that we should never take anything for granted and we need to find a balance between following our head and heart.
Quick easy read (though some of the topics were a little difficult to read through). Great pacing and a nice plot arc. Excited to pick up book 2, but hoping this series continues better than the Maybe Now series…

I honestly think I didn't enjoy this book as much as others because I did not like the main character Layken, and for me the characters can make or break the story.
I felt like she was very immature, bratty, and self-absorbed.
I understand that she went through a lot, and I actually have a lot of experience with someone close to me dying, but I still felt like she thought she was the only one with problems.
Most of the time I thought she was judging Will unfairly especially considering the circumstances. She was so focused on how everything affected her that she didn't see how everyone else was affected.
It's not to say she was a bad character she just wasn't my favorite character to read from which took away my enjoyment from the novel.
A character I would have liked to read more about was Eddie, she had such a unique personality considering her living situation.
The slam poetry was a great addition to the book. I love slam poetry and the pieces included in this novel were quite powerful.
I'm in no hurry to read the sequel but I'm definitely going to be checking out her other novels.

Really sweet (and really sad) but comforting life lessons in this book about love, careers, family, friends, loss and a bunch of other life “quirks”
