I mean, I was kind of at a loss for rational thought as I finished this title…the ending absolutely tears you a new one the final line pierces your heart and leaves you in an unstable state where you don’t know if you’re alright and question the stability of everything around you. I will forewarn anyone who is heavily triggered by stories with child abuse and graphic violence should avoid this title! It explores a darker side of some of her complex, traumatized, and morally grey characters, but remains as binge-worthy and addicting as any of her lighter romance titles. It was fuucked up to say the least, and unlike her other titles, it leaves you staring at your ceiling late into the night, maybe even afraid of turning out the light.

This book is so unlike any other Colleen Hoover book you’ll ever read. How well do we really know the truth? Do we think we know absolutely everything, do we think we have a grasp on everything in our lives? What if you discover that it was all a lie? It could be earth shattering, inconceivable, traumatizing, horrifying, and make you want to scream into the dark at the absurdity of it all. This is a novel about the truth, different versions of the truth, what is true versus what is fiction, the characters an author can create, and when the line between them is called into question. Now, this quote can be or can not be actually related to this book, but I will admit that after reading it, this idea certainly came to mind. They say there are three sides to every story one person’s side, another person’s side, and the actual truth. Genre(s): Mystery/Thriller, Romance Total Star Rating: 4.25 Stars
