This book was so, so good. It pulled at my heart strings and made me feel so much for the main characters, especially Auburn. I wasn't bored a moment of listening to this, and needed to know what was happening as soon as possible. It was hard to put down.

I will say though, that as someone who has been in a sexually and emotionally abusive relationship before, it was triggering at parts. It wasn’t very graphic, but the abusive character (i won’t say the name bc spoilers) was written SO realistically, it made me feel genuinely sick at a couple points. I really did feel Auburn’s helplessness.

If you’re looking for a sad romance with a good ending, this is it.

So close to 5 stars. Has the coho vibes but wasn’t as impactful as “ugly love” and the mc annoyed me at times. Love this book but it’s missing that extra 0.25% coho. I think my expectations were too high so it just missed the mark.

this is such an underrated Colleen Hoover book omg!! Read it now please I beg. I was absolutely bawling by the end. These stories are just so clever I love them so much.

Owen, Adam, AJ and Auburn deserve the world.

I WILL RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TILL THE DAY I DIE! I don't know how the hell Colleen does it but she put me through the 5 stages of grief the WHOLE book. You will be rooting for the characters the whole time and it really makes you feel everything that they're feeling. It saddens me that this book isn't talked about enough because in my opinion it truly is one of her best. There are little things to take into thought before reading this like teen pregnancy, drug abuse, and physical abuse but besides that its amazing [as i've been repeating this whole review] And for anyone thinking about reading this and wanting to know if its a happy or sad end just know it has a happy ending but it will still leave you in tears, and I say that as I am writing this sobbing lol. Lastly, for those of you who like a little spoiler here is probably the best quote from the book...

"She's like a light, unwittingly brightening up the darkest corners of a man's soul."
