Book Review:
This was not my favorite Colleen Hoover book. I found the characters to be shallow and I felt that Tate had no respect for herself. I thought that it was very cliche and felt like I was experiencing a cheesy romantic comedy with a predictable ending. None of the characters had any quirks or characteristics that differentiated them from anyone else. In fact, I could hardly tell Tate apart from Rachel as a character. Same with Ian, Corbin and Miles. The only character that was truly unique and had traits different from the others was Dillon. I liked Cap too. Miles’ past was interesting but I couldn’t stand the way that it was written because it reminded me of something a middle school girl would scribble in a diary. I felt that those chapters didn’t accurately capture what it’s like to be in love, it just felt like Miles had a little school girl crush. Though I didn’t love this novel, it was mildly entertaining, and for those who do enjoy cheesy romantic comedies then this book is for probably better for you.
