This book made me cry by page 11 which never happens to me. 
 But while I liked it and while it took me on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, I was so angry and frustrated with the characters. People, have you ever heard of a thing called COMMUNICATION?? 
 We meet Auburn, yet another typical CoHo's relatable good girl/damsel in distress type of character. She bumps into Owen, a quirky and intriguing artist who offers her a job for the evening, to be a hostess at his art show. Auburn, being broke and in need of a job, accepts the offer even though she thinks Owen could be an ax-murderer (???). 
 They fall in insta love (but it's not insta love you guys, because it was meant to be) and are separated again and again due to various cruel circumstances. 
 While the plotline makes me roll my eyes, it was extremely well executed and I actually cared deeply about the characters and their struggles. 
 I especially liked Owen, he was a warm, affectionate and deeply caring person and so different from your typical NA male protagonist. 
 His art is based on confessions that people drop in a box next to his studio and he later uses as inspiration for his paintings. I loved this concept, it was such an original idea! 
 Hoover takes it a step further and actually includes art pieces in her novel, which provided a real visual treat for the reader. The artist did a great job and made Owen's art and feelings come to life. 
 The conversations between our two main protagonists are endearing and fun to read. It makes you cheer for them as a couple and hope that they get their happily ever after. 
 There is also a reveal about Auburn that I never saw coming and truly added to the story. My heart went out for her and her situation. 
 However, this was not a pleasant read. 
 This book has made me so, so angry. 
 Angry at the characters who never try to solve their problems by talking through them. 
 Angry at the slut shaming that is so common in all of Hoover's novels. 
 Angry at Owen's father for being so weak. 
 Angry at Auburn's impossible and unjust situation. 
 Angry as hell at the people who caused the said situation. 
 Angry at Auburn for being so weak and spineless for most of the book. 
 I could elaborate but my rant would be about 200 pages long and full of spoilers so let's just skip it, shall we? 
 All in all it was a fast paced, engaging and intense read. Fans of Colleen Hoover will love it and it might actually be a great book for those who want to start reading her novels and aren't sure where to begin. 
 It wasn't without its faults and some NA tropes, but it actually made me care. 
 Recommended to anyone looking for a heartfelt, moving romance.
