TW: domestic violence, spousal abuse, emotional manipulation, attempted rape, mentions of suicide and gun violence
Oh this book. It popped up all over my social media and nothing but "OMG COLLEEN HOOVER IS AMAZING" or as the quote on the cover of the book says "Every person with a heartbeat should read this book."
I disagree. First off, not that I think every book needs a trigger warning, but for this SUPER popular book to come up and no one says "oh heads up there are quite a few trigger warnings needed" especially considering the quote on the cover! I was blindsided. I struggled with figuring out why I didn't like this and finally landed on because I was manipulated. I was expecting this amazing love triangle and got instead this horrible situation after horrible situation. I'll skip book two, and likely the movie as well.
