I would describe this book as "fine", just fine.

As someone who typically enjoys Colleen Hoover's storytelling, this one felt predictable and lacked the emotion of her other stories. While I enjoyed the build up with Clara and Morgan, I felt like the climax hit and then just fizzled as we rushed towards the conclusion.

If you're a fan of Hoover's writing style, this still may be a book for you but I'll probably choose a few of her others over this one if I were to do a re-read.

One thing that would have changed my mind about this book? More Gramps! The true star of this story and we only saw him in small glimpses. A damn shame if you ask me!

Possible trigger warnings for this book : death, grief, cheating, depression. 

At the beginning of this book, I thought I had everything figured out. I thought Morgan would cheat on Chris with Jonah. And then I was SHOCKED when the twist happened. I could not BELIEVE Jenny would do that to Morgan.. and to Clara.. and poor Jonah. It was crazy. Morgan was such a strong mom, wife, and woman in general. She forgave Jenny and Chris so much easier than I feel like I ever could have. I hate that Clara had to go on so long thinking she had actually been the one to kill her dad and aunt. And hate even more that she was mad at her mom so long when she wasn’t even the one who did something wrong. On another note.. Clara and Miller were so cute together. And Miller’s grandpa was probably my favorite character in the whole book. “I’ll only leave you air” and then he really did leave him air space. 🥺❤️ Oh and unpopular opinion here but I really am glad we didn’t get to read the letters. I feel like it would’ve only caused everyone in the book more pain. That’s all.

I didn’t expect to love this book as much as I did, and the only reason it’s not getting 5 stars is because
I can’t believe she ripped up those god forsaken letters between Chris and Jenny?!?! Yes, taking the moral high ground is great, but he’s DEAD! How did the curiosity of his betrayal not rage within her?! Or maybe I’m just not as moral as Morgan…

I loved the morals in this story, and although I detest the miscommunication trope, it did pay off in the end
