at first, I really didn't like it but then I was hooked, say what you want about Colleen Hoover but she can write a book with an incredible twist. I do not enjoy how she romanticizes cheating, and although Verity is called out for being the villain she is, the protagonist gets away with plenty of shady behavior without showing any remorse. Also, it feels like her books are a little darker than they have to be. The very beginning how the main character and love interest met felt unnatural and uncomfortable. Despite this, I was very invested in this book and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everybody's so creative!
