by Colleen Hoover, 2014 · 344 pages
This reads fast and hot, all short chapters and dual perspectives that pull you through in a couple of sittings. The prose is plain and conversational, leaning hard on dialogue and interior longing rather than description, and the emotional temperature stays cranked up from early on. It has that propulsive, can't put it down quality Hoover is known for, with a melancholy undertow beneath the heat.
