First of all thank you Gabby for buddy reading this with me and I apologize for how much shit i’ve given Ben and this book as a whole. I did have a good time reading it
I think I genuinely would’ve given this book 1 stars for the first… mmm 200 pages, but those last 100 were really good. Colleen Hoover has the same issues in her writing that I had with It Ends With Us. ITS SO CRINGY!! Now i’ve read romance and they’re not all cringy, this one especially bad. The ending really drove it home for me and that’s why i’m giving it a 3
Jedna gwiazdka jest jedynie za plot twista.
CO. TO. ZA. GÓWNO.
Gdyby Benton (XD) był starym, niezbyt atrakcyjnym mężczyzną - byłby to horror, ale ponieważ jest w wieku Fallon bycie creepem uchodzi mu na sucho.
Jeśli Colleen Hoover ma 100 hejterów - jestem jednym z nich, jeśli jest nas 10 - jestem w tej grupie, jeśli zostanie 1 - to jestem ja, jeśli będzie 0 - bitch, i'm no longer here.
4.5⭐️ not my first book by the author and so far one of my favorite novels by her too… nice storyline and interesting twist. Like the characters and their journey and transformation. I would recommend this book over other author’s works though I’m sure there will be many other good novels by Colleen Hoover
