My Review
5 happy and healing stars!
Colleenized.
Possessed.
Goner.
I cried
Then I cried some more.
I ached.
Then I ached some more.
This booked totally drained me like I was a liquid got overheated it evaporates and suddenly turns to gas goes up up up in the air, and oh, did I like it.
The entire time I was reading I didn't dare move. I didn't stand. I was bed ridden reading. I even resisted the urge to pee because it means putting it down and I don't want it to stop. So to hell with my bladder I ain't backing down. (LOL)
It rarely happens that a writer can make you smile, giggle, squeal so hard, laugh so hard and cry so damn hard in one book. Hoover certainly had me in this novel. She soaked me with so many emotions then drained me afterwards. She gutted me.
I felt everything that needs to be felt in this novel. It's hard not to. So I just surrendered.
This novel has strong characters. I like the way they blend in this story. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
It's too much and yet I want some more. It's like, you know you had enough but the craving just won't fucking stop.
The writer definitely don't treat her readers as idiot ones for throwing off those smart ass humor.
Colleen Hoover never disappoints. Certainly worth the long wait.
Favorite Lines:
"Sometimes moving on is . . . the only way to move on.”
***
I’m not Tate when I’m near Miles. I’m liquid, and liquid doesn’t know how to be firm or stand up for itself. Liquid flows. That’s all I want to do with Miles.
Flow.
***
"God gives us the ugliness so we don’t take thebeautiful things in life for granted.”
***
If all my twenty-three years were laid on a graph, this moment would be the crest in my bell curve.
***
“Love isn’t always pretty, Tate. Sometimes you spend all your time hoping it’ll eventually be something different. Something better. Then, before you know it, you’re back to square one, and you lost your heart somewhere along the way.”
***
“If you don’t want a sarcastic answer,” Cap says to him, “don’t ask a stupid question.”
***
“Sometimes a man’s spirit just ain’t strong enough to withstand the ghosts from his past.” He opens his apartment door and walks inside. “Maybe that boy just lost his spirit somewhere along the way.”
***
You ever heard that expression, ‘When life gives you lemons . . .’?
“Make lemonade,” I say, finishing his quote.
Cap looks at me and shakes his head. “That’s not how it goes,” he says. “When life gives you lemons, make sure you know whose eyes you need to squeeze them in.”
***
“I know the thought of confronting your past terrifies you. It terrifies every man. But sometimes we don’t do it for ourselves. We do it for the people we love more than ourselves.”
***
Why would anyone want to put themselves in a position that could bring back the type of pain that makes a person envious of death?
***
The sadness that was my life became the moments, and my happiness with Brad became my life.”
***
The second she opened her eyes and looked at me, I knew. She was either going to be the death of me . . . or she was going to be the one who finally brought me back to life.
***
It’s the beautiful moments like these that make up for the ugly love.
