I don't know about this one. I picked it up completely blind because I kept seeing the cover everywhere. I've heard Colleen Hoover is very polarizing and was curious about what I would think. Would I love it? Would I hate it? Turns out I don't have strong feelings either way.

I actually assumed this book was a thriller for some reason. After the first couple of chapters I realized it wasn't, so that was disappointing... Then I thought it was a romance novel - but it definitely is not romantic. There's an uneasy feeling over the whole book, and then you realize where it's going about a third of the way in. I didn't hate it and I do appreciate the message and that this really resonated with women in similar toxic relationships. But some of the characters were just a little flat to me. Everything and everyone is perfect - the best friend, both love interests, her job - except for the abuse. It just felt pretty unrealistic and unrelatable. I think she did a good job portraying that type of abusive relationship - that was the strongest part of the book and it was handled well. But I don't know if her characters were interesting enough for me to want to pick up another one of her books.
