It's basically a knock off version of Beach Read and not a very good one at that. I didn't really like it and I struggled to get through it. There's cheating too, and that's... well, that's not how I like my romances to go. The characters were so boring and lacked chemistry and I didn't really like the changing POVs or the flashbacks. I'd say skip this one.
Wow! This book was amazing. I simultaneously couldn't wait to finish it and also didn't want it to end. It had everything I look for in a book, and it was everything I wanted it to be. There are certainly some spicy scenes in this one (well, spicy to me; I know that's subjective) and whew, the chemistry was palpable. I LOVE Brendan and Piper together and the character growth was stellar. I fell in love with Westport too! I seriously cannot wait for the sequel to read Fox and Hannah's story.
I thought this was super cute! I loved the chemistry between Josh and Hazel and even the supporting characters, Dave and Emily and even Josh's Korean family. I love anything these two write, so it was definitely a little pick me up I needed.
Okay, I love anything Colleen Hoover writes. But oh boy, this one was hard to take. I wanted to root for them but Ben said and did a lot of things that I find manipulative and creepy and the very definition of toxic masculinity. I know Hoover can do better, and has done better. It was well written, but so many things bothered me. I didn't care for the fact that they ended up together after that plot twist because in all reality, if your boyfriend told you he was the responsible for your fourth degree burns on 30% of your body and lied to you for four years about it, I really don't think you would forgive him and live happily ever after. Plus, Ben literally hooks up with his dead brother's wife. Um, no. Immediately no. This one really rubbed me the wrong way. I'm glad I got it from the library and didn't actually buy it. Yikes.
I applaud the author for shining light on an important topic that doesn't get much coverage, even though it can wreak havoc on lives and be a root cause for many. However, all the info in this could be found by a quick Google search. And, the info is only about fifty pages, max; the rest of the book is recipes. Maybe you should have called it a recipe book and not an informational book with some recipes, as it's basically a cookbook. I thought this had so much potential and could have been so much better and so much more helpful. It was a let down of epic proportions.
I did really like this, but also felt like it could have been better and so much more. The pacing is off, I think? Tate goes from hating Sam to all the sudden in the back of his truck, having sex and wanting a future. That felt rushed and weird, despite the fact that I did want them to end up together. I also think she forgave him WAY too easily for selling her out, even though he had good reasons.
