challenging emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

It's hard for me to give this book a rating. It took me  a while to finish. It wasn't a fun/entertaining read. It caused me a lot of anxiety while reading it actually and I really wanted to just stop. But, those negative feelings weren't because this was a bad book, it was because it was obvious that the inspiration behind it came from the very real and personal experiences of Colleen Hoover and her family. What this books discusses is real and I do think there are some important sentences that would help a lot of people. It's just a hard read and not one I would recommend for everyone. Because of the real inspiration behind this story I don't feel comfortable rating it, I feel like it just deserves to exist without me putting a number of stars onto it.

Know these warnings before going into this book. I don't believe in spoilers for this read because this isn't a book you're going to be reading for fun or entertainment. This book could be cathartic for some and deeply triggering/anxiety inducing for others. Just be aware of your limits and what you are really wanting to read.
