November 9 By: Colleen Hoover Published: November 10, 2015 by Atria Books 320 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: This is a love story between a guy (me) and a girl (Fallon).  I think.  Can it even be considered a love story if it doesn’t end with love?  Mysteries end when the mystery is solved.  Biographies end when the life story has been told.  Love stories should end with love, right?  Maybe I’m wrong, then. Maybe this isn’t a love story. If you ask me…I’d say this might even be considered a tragedy.  Whatever it is—however it ends—I promised I would tell it. So without further ado. Once upon a time…I met a girl.  THE girl. MY REVIEW: Another favorite by Colleen Hoover is added to my list! This story ripped my heart out! We're talking crushing and shattering, crying late into the night because I couldn't put it down. I was that invested in Fallon, Ben and their feelings. Oh man, but...
