I liked this book a lot! I don’t like the cover with the guitar! But that’s neither here nor there! I enjoyed the characters! I was in tears! My dog passed away very recently and her name was Maggie so when that all happened you bet your ass I was crying! 
I love Warren! Always will! I read maybe not before I read this one so I knew warrens story!! 
I get why people didn’t finish this book because of the cheating but I don’t find it massively triggering even tho I’ve had personal experiences! If cheating is a trigger than this whole book is just not a book for you! 
I am excited to read maybe now and finish this series! 
I never thought I would read Colleen Hoover because her books just didn’t seem like something I would enjoy. Now I’ve tried her out I realise I do like her writing style!

I would recommend this book. This book drew me in from the first page. I loved getting to read from two different t perspectives. However, I did find myself getting frustrated during different parts of the novel, but I guess that what makes for a good book! I also feel like the language used could’ve been less formal during the conversations the characters have, for a 22 and 24 year old, proper grammar doesn’t feel fully realistic. Overall a decent read to get you out of a slump!

Absolutely loved this book! I loved the diversity in the fact that Ridge is deaf. This was just a great and different romance between two people in their young twenties

I feel very very mixed about this book. There were parts I enjoyed and then during a large chunk of the book I felt soooo uncomfortable. I think the ending was a good way to wrap it up.

I just hate cheating so much and there were so many times for them to avoid each other when they realized they were catching feelings. Also I know people have different views on what counts as cheating, but the fact that after the kiss they were just like "omg it's fine? it's really nbd, we'll just pretend it didn't happen and it's okay because we're having an honest convo about it, no biggie!"
