When you meet someone who is good for you, they won’t fill you with insecurities by focusing on your flaws. They’ll fill you with inspiration, because they’ll focus on all the best parts of you.

This Colleen Hoover's book delves into the imperfect characters of Quinn and Graham as they're dealing with their relationship problems. The alternating 'Now' and 'Then' chapters lent depth and poignancy to the narrative. Through this storytelling method, Hoover skillfully emphasizes the importance of communication, support, and to never forget the reasons for committing to love someone.
As a reader, I enjoyed the honest depiction of Quinn and Graham's hardships. Their shortcomings made them approachable, and their journey felt authentic. It served as a reminder that partnerships take effort, compromise, and a willingness to confront obstacles head on. Furthermore, the story eloquently portrayed the idea that genuine love is not found in perfection, but rather in the willingness to commit to someone even when everything appears to be falling apart.
Overall, the reading experience was quite enjoyable and I finished the book in one sitting.

This book was really sad and honest. It depicted a couple going through a difficult time together and how individual, personal problems can stem from the bigger problems. It shows how easily love can seem to disappear in a relationship when there is no communication or partnership. This book definitely made me cry about 2-3 times. I also love the way it is written, switching from past to present; the duality really adds to the clarity and emotional heart-wrench that this book aims towards.
