My Review:
5 out of 5 stars
★★★★★
I finished this book in less than a day, which seems to be pretty standard for me with a Colleen Hoover book. She just has this way of grabbing you from the very first page and holding your attention until the very end. We get Holder's POV in this book so I knew what was going to happen, but I was still taken on an emotional roller coaster. I felt all of the same emotions as I did in the previous book.
My heart hurt for Sky but in this book, it also ached for Holder, for everything he endured and the guilt he carried throughout his life.
I liked that we got to see some things and get some insight about things that we didn't get in Hopeless. That added a fresh twist to this book and made it an even better read. I also liked that we got a little tease of what's going to come in Finding Cinderella. I'm looking forward to reading that one next.
