I just finished it today, and I basically binged it all day because I couldn't put the book down! Man I've forgotten what it feels like to constantly want to keep turning the page to find out what happens next. Colleen Hoover does it again. I loved everything.
I love that the pacing of it all, to the point that when you get to Miles finally coming to the realization that he CAN love again, it feels extremely gratifying. Like he really had to work hard to get to that point.
I loved Cap in all this too. The voice of reason and the comic relief of sorts. What a sweet old man.
Tate, I liked for the most part, except I was finding it hard to read the section where she fully realizes she needs to be walking away, but isn't. I found it hard to read because that's a very honest and real reaction in that circumstance. It's completely something I would end up doing as well in that situation.
They've become addicted to one another and the addiction part of it is real. Even though they both know they should be walking away, they keep going back to each other.
But I'm happy that in the end, Miles was able to talk to Rachel and come to terms with the fact that as gut wrenching as what their shared experience with Clayton was, there's still room to love afterwards. The pain will always be there, but over time it becomes more a part of you, and not YOU. It will no longer completely consume you like it did.
As 'ugly' as love gets sometimes, there will be love again.
