Morgan Grant and her sixteen-year-old daughter, Clara, would like nothing more than to be nothing alike. Morgan is determined to prevent her daughter from making the same mistakes she did. By getting pregnant and married way too young, Morgan put her own dreams on hold. Clara doesn’t want to follow in her mother’s footsteps. Her predictable mother doesn’t have a spontaneous bone in her body.

So I finally decided to read a Colleen Hoover book after watch all the hype with her books on TikTok for months. And I need to say that this book was what I expected it to be. 

After reading this book I’ve learned that 99% of the hyped authors or books aren’t for me. Because every time I end up being disappointed in waisting my time and money.

The entire plot in this book is the husband cheating on his wife with her sister and having a kid with her. But the wife learns about this after her husband and sister get killed in a car accident. Because of this the wife stars to have an affair with her sister’s fiancé and her daughter starts to act up and become an insufferable teenager who drinks, takes drugs, is pissed all the time at everyone etc.

However I need to say that the plot was okay at times, but most of the time I wanted to DNF this book, because the majority of this book was a torture. 

The characters in this book were super weak, boring and stupid. Miller and Jonah were pretty decent characters which really surprised me. Clara and Morgan the two main characters here were super insufferable. Because they made more stupid choices with each page. 

Clara and Morgan truly made me feel at times that Colleen Hoover didn’t have any idea about writing a female character. And at times it felt like Colleen Hoover painted female characters in this book just as these crying maniacs who could only argue with each other and cry. 

Clara was particularly an incredible bad character. She is 16 / 17 years old in this book but all the time she was super immature, and she blamed everyone else for her own mistakes. At one point she yelled and blamed her boyfriend for using her even thou she used him for sex to hurt her mother.

Morgan is the wife of the story. When she found out that her husband cheated on her with her sister and got her sister pregnant. She decided to let her 16-year-old daughter hate her and act up and do drugs and drink alcohol instead of her telling her the truth about her dad and aunt. 

The writing style here was probably the best thing about this book. It wasn’t the good or even close to it. But it was far better than the plot and all of the characters in this book.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
