This is the third Colleen Hoover novel I've read, and it is by far my favorite of the bunch. The last 60 or so pages left me an emotional wreck.

Colleen Hoover has such an amazing gift for hooking the reader from the very first sentence. I love her writing style. I love the structure of this book and how Miles' parts are mostly structured as free verse poetry. I also really like the dual perspectives.

My one critique about this book is that I wish there had been more to the side characters. Corbin was fleshed out pretty well, but I felt like there could've been more on Ian and Dillon. I don't actually know what purpose Dillon served, except to prop up Miles as a good guy in comparison. And I wish that we'd had a couple of scenes with Tate that didn't have to do with her brother or Miles. There was one scene where a guy came over to study with her, but again, that felt like a bit of a contrivance to show that Miles cared about her enough to be jealous...and then we never see or hear from him again.

I also liked the kind of twist where the female character actually had more experience than the male, and she wasn't made to feel like a slut because of it.

The plot of the story was relatively predictable and not exactly groundbreaking: guy and girl meet, emotionally unavailable guy tells girl he's emotionally unavailable, girl pretends she doesn't care when of course she cares...but there is something so engrossing and honest about Hoover's writing that I don't really care.
