This was my first Colleen Hoover book and that was only because it was chosen for Book Club. With that being said, I was actually really pleasantly surprised. I could not stop reading this book, I read for hours straight and could not put it down. I will definitely be reading more Colleen Hoover books.

I wasn't a huge fan of the writing style but Colleen's storytelling definitely makes up for it. There's a fine line when it comes to authors sharing details and I find that it's very easy to miss the mark and word vomit every single unnecessary detail. Colleen was able to create a perfect balance. I enjoy books so much more when I am able to picture the scenes and images. I think that Colleen did a great job at helping her readers connect to the book.
