The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Verity and It Ends With Us delivers another breathtaking novel with a magnetic suspense that will keep you glued to the pages. "Phenomenal. Outstanding. Unputdownable." - Stephanie's Book Report"One of the most spellbinding, profound, beautifully told new adult romances I've ever read. It is the kind of story that stays with you, moves you. A breathlessly romantic tale of courage and growth, of patience and trust, of wild abandonment. I read the book cover to cover, in one sitting, I simply couldn't put it down." - KDRBCK Life and a dismal last name are the only two things Beyah Grim's parents ever gave her. After carving her path all on her own, Beyah is well on her way to bigger and better things, thanks to no one but herself. With only two short months separating her from the future she's built and the past she desperately wants to leave behind, an unexpected death leaves Beyah with no place to go during the interim. Forced to reach out to her last resort, Beyah has to spend the remainder of her summer on a peninsula in Texas with a father she barely knows. Beyah's plan is to keep her head down and let the summer slip by seamlessly, but her new neighbor Samson throws a wrench in that plan. Samson and Beyah have nothing in common on the surface. She comes from a life of poverty and neglect; he comes from a family of wealth and privilege. But one thing they do have in common is that they're both drawn to sad things. Which means they're drawn to each other. With an almost immediate connection too intense for them to continue denying, Beyah and Samson agree to stay in the shallow end of a summer fling. What Beyah doesn't realize is that a rip current is coming, and it's about to drag her heart out to sea. "This book deserves a whole galaxy of stars, but alas, five is all I can give." -Shades of Rebecca

I can't remember the last time I read an entire book in one sitting. I could not put this down and here it is, nearly 3 am, and I have happy tears running down my face because this book was THAT good. It definitely has the vibe of some of Colleen's pre-IEWU books, which are some of my all time favorites. Really loved this one!
CoHo is, undeniably, a damn good writer. No matter how cliched her books can be. No matter how predictable her stories can be. She's a good story-teller. She knows how to pull her readers in, how to entice them, how to make them fall head over heels with her characters.While I don't fall head over heels with the characters here, I like the way their characters developed, how they matured. Mind you, these are young characters but due to the hardships they faced, they have more depth to their characters, more layers, so to speak. Compared to Julie in [b:You've Reached Sam 53086843 You've Reached Sam Dustin Thao https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1610730335l/53086843.SY75.jpg 73341676], I found Beyah to be more realistic and relatable. And likeable.As per usual CoHo, the mummy/daddy issue is present. But I admire how Beyah carries herself, how strong and adamant she is (despite her obsession with Samson, but I understand why).Come at me, world. You can't damage the impermeable.Another gem from CoHo, for sure.

“Maybe we did grow heart bones. But what if the only way of knowing you grew a heart bone is by feeling the agony caused by the break?”
This book made me feel so much, in both good and bad ways. I cried but that was honestly expected, I mean come on, it IS a Colleen Hoover book. It made me so happy and sad at the same time. I'll be thinking about this book for a long time. I loved it so much and learned so much from it. This is most definitely a favorite
