I’m not a fan of Infidelity so it made me really uncomfortable at times. I feel bad for Maggie and honestly the biggest power move would have been if Sydney and Maggie had gotten together and forgotten about Ridge. I just feel that he didn’t choose Sydney in the end but he pretended as if he did. He chose Maggie, kicked Sydney to the curb (literally) and then only "chose" Sydney when Maggie rejected him. 
I love Colleen Hoover and I still think it was a devastating story. However, I do think that it glorified infidelity a smidge.

LOVE. 

I’m already looking forward to the sequel! So funny and heartbreaking at the same time. The themes are relatable

especially CoHo featuring deaf characters which I’ve never read in the romance books I’ve gotten through so far

I liked the characters (even if they were written to be raunchy or rude. Another CoHo in the books (literally) and I’m excited to read more!

This is hands down my favourite book. I loved the deaf representation because i don’t see it often in books, all of the characters are loveable and you want to vouch for all the different relationships in the book. It’s so easy to get in the mind of the main hero and heroine as well. I loved the book so much.
