REVIEW

I'm listening to this book's soundtrack, and I would advise you to check it out! I loved this book so much, it made me feel so many things, and that's what I was looking for. So far, it's the third book of Colleen Hoover I've read, and I've never been disappointed. This review won't be long, because I would mostly suggest you to read this, without knowing too much about it.

First, I'd like to say that there is always a special touch to Colleen's books: there is always art in it, and it's so interesting, it allows the reader to experience more than the actual book. For Slammed, it was in the title, full of poetry, for Confess, it was the paintings, here, it was music. I don't know if it's the case for every book she has out there, but I'd gladly advise her to go on with these ideas. I liked how the characters met each other through music, and how their relationship was linked with it.

As always, the characters were realistic and some of them had issues we don't see much in YA or NA (even if I'm not a specialist of the latest), for Ridge, one of our main characters, just like Maggie.

Ridge: Better. I can't hear my own farts, so sometimes I'll forget that other people can hear them.

Everything was dealt with really maturely, which I also liked. However, I don't recommend you to read this book if you have big issues with adultery/cheating. Personally, I've been confronted to similar issues in the past, on both sides of the barrier, I thought Colleen treated the subject beautifully and could make doubt everyone on this subject. Because no matter how bad cheating is, we don't have to forget that there is two sides to every story, even three. However, the author didn't go too far on this subject, and I was glad about that. 

However, now that Maggie is in the picture, I realie there can't be a maybe someday between us. There will never be a maybe someday. 

Overall, this book was really addicting and I regretted I had to go to bed last night, because I just wanted to read in one setting all night. The romance is really swoony and I just wanted the characters to be together, because they had so much chemistry. It's my favourite book of her with Confess!

Rating: 5/5
