 Fallon used to be an actress, but not anymore. That part of her life is over after the fire that gave her burns on 30% of her body. After the realization that nobody would want her on television because of the scars on her face, Fallon has her heart set on going from California to New York to pursue a career in Broadway. When Fallon is at a restaurant with her father on November 9th, the anniversary of the fire, a boy named Ben swoops in to defend her against her father who is telling her that she isn't pretty enough for acting. Afterwards, Fallon heads to New York after promising Ben that they would meet every November 9th at the same time and place until they were both 23, the age Fallon wants to wait until giving away her heart. 
 I was a bit disappointed with this book, to be honest. I wasn't disappointed because the book was bad, but I've grown to expect a lot from every Colleen Hoover novel I read, which is probably a bad thing. I go in expected a romance that has be falling in love alongside the characters, but I didn't really have that in this book. It wasn't really for me. In the book, Fallon states that insta-love is her least favourite romance novel trope, which felt quite ironic to me, since her relationship with Ben seemed pretty insta-lovey. I also found it pretty unrealistic that they managed to fall in love in literally two or three days. Sure, the days were spread out over a couple years, but it doesn't change the fact that they've known each other for mere days. For a girl set on not giving her heart away easily and hating insta-love, that seems pretty fast for me. 
 What I did enjoy about this novel is how Ben made Fallon feel. After going through all that with the fire and her father being an ass, she really needed someone who has known grief and gotten past it, and could make her feel beautiful. I'm usually not a fan of books where the girl feels the need to have a boy to make her feel beautiful, but in this one I can understand where Fallon is coming from. In other books, they usually have no reason to believe they aren't beautiful; they're usually pristinely perfect. In this book, Fallon has been shunned for her visible scars before, and that had to hurt and I was relieved when Ben allowed her to gain her confidence back. However, I don't think I was a big fan of Ben himself. He had his good scenes where I liked him, but other times I didn't feel that much for his character. (view spoiler)[ I also don't really understand why Fallon forgave him so easily. She didn't even seem mad when they met up at the end of the book, and she was even apologizing when she didn't have anything to apologize for. While I'm glad they made up, I wish she didn't forgive him so easily. (hide spoiler)] 
 Overall, this was a good book but definitely not Colleen Hoover's best. It has the insta-love factor which I'm not a big fan of. I went in expected a cute, sweet romance that would sweep me off my feet but I just got a sort of meh romance, but I did get a protagonist that I really liked. I think this is worth the read if you've enjoyed Colleen Hoover before and you just want to try it out, but if you're trying her out for the first time I would definitely go for Hopeless instead.
