As expected, once I started this book I could not put it down for a single second. Cover to cover in just under 5 hours!

Colleen Hoover maintains her top spot on my favorite authors list ... in fact, she may be one of my favorite people in the world. Her written words have the ability to somehow touch your soul - profound, I know - but it's the fucking truth!

Dean Holder is absolute perfection & we are all amazingly lucky to have this superb story from his perspective. I was already in love with him after Hopeless, but his story makes him even more exraordinary. He is, without question, my #1 book boyfriend ever - not sure how anyone would ever be able to take his place. His letters to Les were the perfect way to bring readers closer to his inner thoughts. I also found myself with a renewed appreciation for Sky, seeing her through Holder's eyes.

Hopeless is still my favorite book of all time ... but really, the 2 books are like sides of a coin - the story's not complete without both perspectives. I will no doubt read both books again (many times) in my life - it's just a story that I'm happy/sad to see end & want to re-live again & again & again ...
