 It was good! Definitely not my favorite, but a good time nonetheless, and I was definitely invested in the story (more so after the first 150 pages) There was a few things that bothered me here and there, and I wasn’t kicking my feet at the romance which indicates it was lacking a bit.

This was a beautiful book with a beautiful story. I wasn't as invested into it as I usually am with CoHo books however it was still a great read. The use of conffessions was really interesting and unique which I loved. But overall I just think it lacked that emotional connection to and genuine worry for characters (other than the final 40 pages) that I seek from books

Colleen Hoover said ACAB. She really does come up with interesting ways to keep love interests apart (but not for too long).

This book would have been so much better without Trey. Obliviously
he is the villain of the story. But he is such a cheesy villain. Planting evidence, being a bad cop?
the rest of the story is heart wrenching and beautiful but an unrealistic amount of conflict. Good read though!

I'll start by saying I don't think Hoover's books are for me, or more like I'm not the target audience. The characters were frustrating, the plot a bit implausible, the overall love story disappointing. The only part I appreciated was the believability of staying in a toxic relationship in the hope that you might get custody of your child. I realize that I'm being super judgey and that there are people out there who can relate to the characters and their experiences in this book. Just a book not for me.

This was not my favorite Colleen Hoover book, but still written in her typical fashion. Some of the confessions were hard to read. And Auburn's story made me sad. I'm not sure how I feel about Owen lol.
