A review by katevanderwall
November 9 by Colleen Hoover

2.0

Honestly such an effed up book. I’m not sure at all why Colleen added the part about Ben getting with his dead brothers wife and raising the son like his own, I mean it was a twist but how we’re we ever supposed to respect Ben again after that?? Besides the messed up dead brother situation, ben was wildly unlikeable, talking about Fallens panties the whole time as if it was a cute romance repetition, if I were Fallen I’d barf. All this kid cared about was fallen the entire book, his brother dies- “oh well, I wish I could’ve saw fallen on our anniversary”. His mom dies- “I’m so worried about fallen”. So unrealistic. Also, they were honestly together for like four days and the book pokes at how bizzare this is but really Colleen it is bizzare and unrealistic. Did Ben even love fallen or did he just need her to forgive him and be happy with him to forgive himself? That’s realistic. Also fallens dad sucked, she found out he didn’t cause the fire and that he was grieving during it so she gave him too hard of a time for all those years, but at the end of the day he still sucked, and fallen forgave him for all of it, makes no sense.
