“Grudges are heavy, but for people hurting the most, I suppose forgiveness is even heavier.” 

There goes my heart again, ripped out and then put back together by a Colleen Hoover book. I read this book in a little more than 24 hours. I could not put it down. The story, the characters, the writing. The subtle hopefulness that there will be redemption for our main character Kenna was so strong. I love how she wrote the main character’s Kenna and Ledger. Although I do question the first name choice, unless it’s a nod to Heath Ledger 😏 

Kenna’s story tugged at my heart strings. The emotions she felt were raw and real, and I felt like there are probably a lot of people out there like Kenna. Struggling to find their place in the world, and haunted by their past. I also felt the deep love that a parent has for their child. As a mother now myself I really understand that completely unconditional love a parent has for their child. 

For me this will be one of my favorite CoHo books.
