I didnt like the way the sex scenes was written (not because i dont like to read about sex, i really do enjoy it), and not relatable characters. It wasnt like extremely bad, but i wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
I didn’t feel any attachment to either of the characters, unfortunately. Too many things happened (calling her the wrong name ??) that made me not even really root for them in the end. I also didn’t like how Miles’ chapters were written.
Idek what possessed me to give CoHo another chance cause the books are written like really bad Wattpad
Ok, this is my second CoHo book, and will quite possibly be my last (that I pay money for, at least.)
Despite the fact that fans of Colleen Hoover scare the crap out of me, I have a lot of reasons why I really didn’t like this book and dammit, I want to complain about them. The pattern I’ve noticed with both of her books I’ve read is painfully annoying brooding muscle men that get free passes for being massive jerks just because they had some traumatic event happen to them in the past, and doormat women that love getting trampled all over by them.
Every single character in this book was one-dimensional, and I could not care less about every single one of them. It seemed like every side character was created just to force conflict onto Tate and Miles, and it had me wondering halfway through the book if Hoover even bothered to give them any substance because she knew everyone would be too busy drooling over America’s favorite couple.
It’s unfortunate, because Hoover is really good at writing those tension-filled romantic moments, but it feels like she has no idea how to bridge them together. Every page seemed to either take place in Tate or Miles apartment, Mile’s childhood home in his POV, or the apartment lobby. Which thank god for the last one, because Cap was the only redeeming character in this whole thing. Every event that pushed the story forward at all was forced. Especially the existence of Dillon.
Dillon is literally thrown into the book simply to give additional opportunities for Miles to show possession toward Tate. Everyone else in the book cannot stop talking about how much they hate Dillon. And when asked why he’s even around, the reasoning is “we didn’t realize how much of a dick he was until it was too late”. Too late? All you have to do is stop inviting him to your apartment? It’s parts like that that actually drove me up a wall. Nothing was organic at all. Not to mention a good portion of it felt terribly rushed.
And without spoiling anything, the first half of the book was at least somewhat self-aware, but once the climax hit and the book was ending, it went into corny Liftetime Movie overdrive, to the point that I almost DNF’d it before the last 10-15 pages. My eyes rolled so hard they almost took off down the street.
Anyway, I know I’m obviously the minority here, but I really just do not think these books are for me. I respect Colleen Hoover as an author, but until she decides to actually slow down her pace and make her male leads far less punchable, I think I’m going to pass on the remainder of her work.
