Many of us came across this book in the same way and expectations were high. That being said, those expectations were not met. The general storyline of the book was unique and interesting but the progression towards the ending and the ending itself was unrealistic and unsatisfactory.
The main character deals with severe trauma that lacks deeper acknowledgment. I appreciate the message the book conveys however the ‘happy ending’ was executed poorly and required more thought, personally.
The books popularity is largely due to the fact that it is very easy to read. This is not a terrible thing but it lacks the didacticism required to effectively deal with such topics. I feel as though Colleen Hoover just combines explicit, vulgar themes with an immature writing style.
Enjoyed the story but the writing was not very good.
