This book was BORING...
This book was also INTRIGUING ...
It was weird... while all of the characters had such in depth backstories that were great, the present story just.... lacked and was weird.
Overall the story came out very good but it was still kinda boring.

Like all Colleen Hoover books, I couldn't stop turning the page. Her writing is so entertaining and addictive, and I liked that this was completely different than her other books I'd read. I had no idea what this book was about, so I was fascinated with the set up. It reminded me of a Wes Anderson movie with the characters and their backgrounds. And I like where the story went (or maybe tried to go), but it was all too superficial. The story and characters too quickly turned. I know it was probably because we had only been getting Merit's perspective, but it still seemed too abrupt for so many believable 180s with no real resolution. Had we learned more about the characters before or after that, maybe it would have worked better for me. And the subjects discussed are so important that they deserved a level deeper than they received here.
I didn’t intend on finishing this book the same day that I started it, but words cannot describe how amazing it was. I needed to read this wow

I really enjoy Hoover's books and I thought how she discussed depression was good. I did think that Satan's background was a bit random. It's an important issue and I think it would be interesting to develop that but it really deserved more than it got in the book.
J’ai vraiment beaucoup aimé l’histoire puisqu’elle aborde en douceur divers sujets : en particulier la dépression, un sujet qu’il ne faut pas prendre à la légère. Mais l’histoire parle aussi de la famille, des disputes, des secrets de famille, des maladies, des parents séparés. Mais aussi des obsessions, elle collectionne des trophées qu’elle n’à pas gagné ? Un moyen compulsif de cacher sa tristesse.
Je n’ai jamais été déçue des livres de CoHo pour le moment, et ce livre le confirme. Il y a beaucoup de moment drôles, mais surtout des moments de compréhension qui permettent de réfléchir à ses propres “problèmes”. Car l’auteur écrit que chacun ressent les choses différemment et que chacun a le droit de ressentir de la tristesse à l’échelle qu’il souhaite. En bref, il ne faut jamais sous estimer sa tristesse en raison que “quelque chose est plus grave”. Il faut l’accepter pour guérir.
Énorme coeur sur le personne de Sagan qui est très “philosophique”, tout autant qu’il est bizarre. Il souhaite que Merit s’aime avant qu’elle ne l’aime lui. J’ai noté cette phrase :
“-Je t'aime assez pour t'embrasser, crois-moi.
Mais je voudrais que tu puisses t'aimer autant que je t'aime.”
Point négatif : le titre du livre en français ne correspond pas à “Sans Merit” qui est un point fort du livre.
