I feel like such an outlier because I am not a fan of Colleen Hoover, but at the same time I’m always compelled to read her because I think I’ll feel differently with each one- I never seem to. I think it’s because I’m not a fan of maudlin romances and these seem to fit into that category every time.
I found the main plot to be too heart wrenching. The protagonist, Kenna, is hoping to reunite with her young daughter after spending her daughter’s entire life in prison. She is sneaky in the way she goes about doing it since the people raising her daughter want nothing to do with Kenna. There’s romance, steamy sex scenes, and tears- lots and lots of tears. It got to the point where I was just done feeling Kenna’s pain. While I know I’m not a fan, I also know I’ll likely continue to read Ms. Hoover’s books because the one I read and really liked (It Ends With Us) is what I always have in mind when choosing a Colleen Hoover as my next read.
