Without Merit by Colleen Hoover
4.0

When I saw this book I didn't even bother reading the blurb before I jumped right into the story. Colleen Hoover is starting to become one of my favorite authors.

Without Merit focuses on family issues and depression. This year, there have been a lot of issues about depression and suicide. I liked how this book highlighted those issues. Merit's story was relatable, and I liked her character. Yes, there were times when I wanted to yell at her, but her character was just someone I could sympathize with.

Honestly, I didn't expect to like this book so much. I finished it within 6 hours (started at midnight and finished at 6am) with tears streaming down my face. The book teaches it's readers the value of empathy and not judging others. It also teaches us the importance of reaching out to people and taking mental health seriously.

Thank you Colleen Hoover for another touching novel.
