Colleen Hoover really knows how to keep the reader on the edge of their freaking seat. I read this so fast and if life wasn't a thing, I would've read it in one sitting. It was fast passed and kept me wanting to know what happened next and what the results of things were. I was very shocked by the ending and didn't guess a thing.
For me, there was too much graphic sex writing. I don't need that, and much rather things be left to the imagination. You can imply so much in the regard and I don't think it's needed for the book. I scimmed so many pages because I didn't want to read the intimate details of a sexual relationship.
The main character was kinda annoying and I did find her frustrating. Well, all the characters were kind of annoying. I didn't get behind the male lead, didn't find him attractive or appealing, as is usually expected. Even the kid was a pain in the ass, so yeah, no character love here. But this is definitely a plot driven book and did keep me on the edge of my seat.
