Wow. Where do I begin? Started reading this book thinking it's a love story but it's so much more.
Bea an aspiring artist meets with an accident which changes her career forever. Fallon is an aspiring writer and looking for inspiration. They meet one day, on November 9 just the day before Bea moves across the country. They decide to meet every year on November 9th for the next five years and in between they won't have any contact with each other. And so, starts their yearly meeting and they eventually fall in love. But there's a lot more to the date - November 9 than it being just the day they see each other. When Bea comes across Fallon's manuscript about their story, she can't believe what she reads. This line right here, broke me :

"It took four years for me to fall in love with him.
It only took four pages to stop."
The plot twist, Oh My God! Who could have imagined? I have never felt so many emotions reading one book. It makes you happy, sad, makes you cry over someone's else's heartbreak and then makes you shed happy tears. This book was so addictive, I couldn't put it down. Apart from Fallon's occasional cringey thoughts and comments, everything else about the book was perfect <3
