Without Merit
by Colleen Hoover
5 spectacular stars! With MERIT!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
CoHo did it again!!! Last year the book that had the biggest impact on me was Colleen Hoover’s It Ends With Us.... that book still sticks with me today, it wrecked me, it hit me where I live, it was just simply perfection.... so I was a bit nervous to pick up this book, how could it possibly live up to my expectations? Well I’m happy to say it definitely did!!!
This book is different from any CoHo book I’ve read before..... but definitely in a good way.... this book was about family, dysfunction, love, and secrets....
Merit lives in a small Texas town and is certain her family is the most dysfunctional family ever.... and she may not be all that wrong, from the fact that they live in a renovated church with the marquee still on the lawn to the fact that both her stepmother and mother live in the same house..... Merit was such a fantastically developed character.... even if you couldn’t completely relate to her, you sure did want everything to work out for her.... she made me really think about the negative and positive side to having an identical twin (she had an identical twin Honor).... she also made me think about the burden of family secrets....
This book touched on many difficult subjects.... but it was all done very subtly using all these wonderful characters who slowly reveal their secrets to us through Merit.... I also appreciated that there weren’t any clear answers given as to what everybody “needed“ To do to fix themselves..... The fix just simply began with letting go of secrets and learning to communicate..... this family has a ways to go, but I truly believe there is hope
This character driven book definitely takes you on a rollercoaster of emotion and it is absolutely a ride I am thrilled I took! Highly recommend two fans of this author and anyone else who enjoys a book with amazing characters young or old!
PS: there is a really adorable romance running through this book as well, it just kind of takes a backseat to the rest that is going on, but it is still super sweet💕
