Wow. I didn’t know how much I needed this book until I was already halfway through it. A book I initially bought before I even knew who Colleen Hoover was – I purchased this one because the title was the date of my wedding – and it’s been sitting on my shelf for a year.

I’ve been missing out to say the very least.

This story is one of hope, love, forgiveness, and living life. It’s about not settling, but also acknowledging what you have before you. It’s about recognizing the other side of the events that transpire in your life, and realizing that your perception of the story isn’t always correct. This story is inspiring, heartwarming, heartbreaking, and filled with the need to never stop reading. I’m already waiting for a sequel, and I just put this book down.
