Finally read a CoHo book. I can see the hype- and even though this isn't the (most) hyped book of hers, I enjoyed it for the most part. There were a handful of grammar mistakes that caught my attention. I didn't like the "but he's your father" guilt-trip-like comments. Did like how it shows how we can be more understanding of each other and our situations. Though not the best way, it was definitely A WAY of illustrating empathy and forgiveness.

This was just such a fun book. I really enjoy reading Colleen Hoover books. While yes of course the writing is overall a little on the childish side, I think she is a good storyteller that makes books full of depth easy reads. 
I loved this book.

Ah CoHo, I hate to do this and give an unpopular opinion… But unfortunately I was not a fan of this one.

If you’re into Instalove—two characters falling in love at first sight, all consuming love straight out of the gate—then you’ll be immediately pulled in. I guess I found out with November 9 that I don’t really care for that genre of romance. Ben and Fallon’s instant attraction didn’t seem believable to me.

The main thing that pulled my rating down was not something that went away throughout the story as it was literally the character of Ben, the MMC. From the beginning he gave me the ick by the way he talked and interacted with Fallon, without even knowing her. He was too confident and domineering and controlling for my taste, disguised as the “nice guy” who saw past Fallon’s imperfections. DUDE YOU’VE SPENT ONLY A FEW HOURS WITH HER. Idk, the simp behavior jumped out.

The plot had potential and I liked the sections being split up by the same date each year. However, that further drove the nail in the coffin that was my effort to give Ben and Fallon time to grow on me. Instead, with each year passing, I found their “connection” more and more forced and weirdly obsessive. 

Hoover’s writing wasn’t bad, she always has great pacing in her novels, in fact. For me, the main relationship in this book just really put me off and the rest of the elements that I liked didn’t make up for it.

4.5-4.75⭐️

can i start with the fact that this book brought me actual pain. like i genuinely stopped talking to other people because i was so indulged in this book.

i feel like i can’t process emotions. YALL TALKING ABOUT THE FOURTH NOVEMBER??? fifth november is where it’s at. little had to put the book down and go to sleep. and then i thought about the book in my sleep so much that i woke up early and finished the book.

mixed feelings about ben. like i was kinda on a ben rollercoaster. FALLON MY GIRL. i feel like she gives the best hugs and i just wanna hug her. i LOVED her mom.

guys i loved this book 🥲 i really did. it got me out of my reading slump and it brought so much pain and mind spinning that i think everyone needs at least once in their lives.

colleen hoover. you are a menace to society. thank you for this.
