Recommendation
Colleen Hoover is a literary genius. She takes what seems like a normal love story and turns it into something extraordinary. It’s unique and beautifully written with all of the intense feels you expect from a CoHo masterpiece. Simply brilliant. ~Adrian
I was hooked from the start.
By the end – or maybe near the middle – of chapter one, the hook was in my cheek and I was flopping on the deck, gasping for more Fallon and Ben. As CoHo tends to do, she twists and turns the story around the pile of tissues stacking up next to my leaking eyeballs. Great job, Colleen. You’ve done another hatchet job on my heart. ~Angie
Excerpts
"Ben," I say, narrowing my eyes. "Are you…booksting me?" He cocks an eyebrow. "Booksting?" "Yeah. When a hot guy talks books with a girl It's like sexting, but out loud and with books instead of sex. Nor does it have to do with texts. Okay, so it's nothing like sexting, but it made sense in my head."
Guys see boobs coupled with a great sense of humor and think they've found the holy fucking grail.
"Baby," he says, his lips forming a smile. "You have already made this the best sex I've ever had and I'm not even inside you yet."
Publisher synopsis
Beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover returns with an unforgettable love story between a writer and his unexpected muse.
Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.
Can Ben’s relationship with Fallon—and simultaneously his novel—be considered a love story if it ends in heartbreak?
