From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Ends With Us comes a passionate tale of friendship, betrayal, and romance.
At twenty-two years old, Sydney is enjoying a great life: She's in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her best friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers that Hunter is cheating on her—and she's forced to decide what her next move should be.
Soon, Sydney finds herself captivated by her mysterious and attractive neighbor, Ridge. She can't take her eyes off him or stop listening to the passionate way he plays his guitar every evening out on his balcony. And there's something about Sydney that Ridge can't ignore, either. They soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one.
Never have I found a blurb to be so off about a book. The blurb basically covers the start of the book (because it doesn't want to reveal the fact that Ridge has a girlfriend and that he is deaf) but that is basically it. Nothing happens in this story. It was way too cringy and soppy for my liking and I felt it took too long to get to the inevitable point. The overall message of the story was nice, great to have deaf representation in literature, I just wish it was better representation. The message that you don't have to hate someone or fall out of love with someone for a relationship to end was also lovely, but again, it could have been done way better. Overall I was really bored by this and it doesn't compel me to want to read the other books in the series. I have mostly liked other books by Colleen Hoover but I really wasn't a fan of this.
