I came into this book expecting to relate quite a bit and for this to change me in some way but I think I read this a little too late for it to have a greater impact on me. I didn’t relate to much until about 45% of the way into the book which was honestly a disappointment. If I had read this two years ago possibly even a year ago this definitely would have given me the impact I was looking for. But, I didn’t and this took me quite a while to even care about the characters which has left me feeling meh about the book. I did get teary-eyed at the end of part 4 which made me question my rating if I’m being honest. Sadly, I think this is going on my unhaul pile though. Loveless on its own is a 3 Stars book for me. 

The Hands Against Our Hearts short story I quite enjoyed, I even related to Pip in some parts of her chapters and chuckled at a part… tbh the short story might of just saved this book from the unhaul pile. But, that’s a big might I’m going to give it a few days before I decide. 4.5 Stars for the short story.
