There's a whole entire half of this book where I didn't care even a little bit about what was happening. Also: is SJM doing a bit with the characters' ages? Because all of these characters are written like they're 20 years older than the text states they're supposed to be - through this entire series, it's insane.
Hey, friends? This book was Not Good. The only interesting parts were the book-within-a-book chapters, the leads were wooden and boring, and the ending was a huge cop-out.
However, easy-breezy reading. Is that why Colleen Hoover is popular? Readability? Genuinely asking, I had to purposely slow myself down to read this in basically a few hours over 3 evenings.
