A Ilusão De Merit

Colleen Hoover

3.6 AVERAGE


This was weird. That seems to be a general consensus I have gathered on this book. I’m finally getting to books I have had for forever and this one was on the list. This book definitely needs a warning list at the beginning because there are some heavy topics in the books, not just something at the end of it. It was interesting to se it all play out but dang there was a lot going on that was resolved very quickly. My thoughts are kind of flustered with this one. I liked it but a part of me is asking myself did I really like it at the same time😂

Wasn't my favorite of Hoover's.

At first it was just a book that made me laugh with the ridiculous banter and quips, then it turned into something I connect with on ever level.

I have yet to find a Colleen Hoover book I’m able to put down. Without Merit is a book about honesty and mental health and tackles difficult family dynamics in an intriguing way.

Honestly this was the most hilarious book i’ve ever read, it was full of crazy plot twists and i couldn’t believe what i was reading but i think that’s why i liked it !! not good ‘plot-wise’ but i would definitely read again if i wanted to turn my head again

"I have an impressive collection of trophies I did not win"
"Not every mistake deserves a consequence. Sometimes the only thing it deserves is forgiveness.”
Story was good so makes me question if it is a coho book
