A review by jenncharlene713
November 9 by Colleen Hoover

1.0

I truthfully hate giving books anything less than 3 stars because authors put so much effort and thought into these books but I cannot give this book a good rating. I read this because a good friend of mine told me to give CoHo another chance. I realize now she is not an author I enjoy reading. I will never bash on someone for reading her books though, to each their own.

I think Ben is a horrible main male character. He is disgusting and does not deserve to get a good ending. Fallon is also so bland. Understandably these are young characters but they have only known each other a maximum of 36 hours. Yet they love each other?? They’re getting married?!?!?

The idea of the book is great but it feels like the characters never got to know each other even when they saw each other. I also heard there originally was a SA scene?? And I got the vibes still during the club scene where Fallon says something like “he’s using this to his advantage” knowing she’s drunk and they’re alone. She’s written as she likes it but has these little thoughts of hating it and wanting it to stop. And I don’t believe the whole reading the manuscript just makes her forgive him so quickly.
