- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes

- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

A lot of potentially interesting plot lines in the first two parts that never get resolved. Most of Part 3 felt like it was the ending of a different story. Too many unanswered questions, and the epilogue fell super flat. I had to reread the last page, because at first I thought the whole family was forgetting their lives, instead of Charlie confirming her suspicion with a false statement and Silas momentarily forgetting their daughter's birthday.

This was my first Colleen Hoover book, so I can't say whether or not you'll like it based on her other books. What I can say is I really enjoyed reading this. The story is so interesting that it kept me coming back for more. I struggled to put it down, so it's safe to say you can finish this in one sitting.
I was a little frustrated by a few loose ends, but I tend to like conclusions that wrap up in a nice little bow.
I wanted to see more about Silas and Charlie's siblings. I liked them sibling banter, and thought Sila's relationship with Landon was refreshing.
I was a little disappointed with the epilogue. The fact that the memory loss is happening again takes away from how special Silas and Charlie's relationship is.
If you are considering picking this up I'd say it's definitely worth a read!
