This book is one I always recommend! It had so many twists and turns. I really had no clue where it was going to go. It also was very real and could be something that happens in real life so makes it all the more thrilling

This was my first Colleen Hoover book and I was really impressed. This wasn’t as THRILLING as more creepy. Still kept me on the edge of my seat

I liked the book wayyyy better than the movie. It was an odd one and a wild ride as well. It was super action packed. A lot going on. Moments you weren’t ready for.
