Without Merit By: Colleen Hoover Published: October 3, 2017 by Atria Books 384 pages Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Not every mistake deserves a consequence.

Ugly Love - Review

Image
Ugly Love By: Colleen Hoover Published: August 5, 2014 by Atria Books 337 pages Source: Borrowed from snl ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her. Never ask about the past. Don’t expect a future. They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all. Hearts get infiltrated. Promises get broken. Rules get shattered. Love gets ugly. MY REVIEW: I know, I know...I'm probably one of the very few Colleen Hoover fans who i...

November 9 - Review

Image
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...

Never Never - Review

Image
Never Never By: Colleen Hoover and Tarryn Fisher Published: January 7, 2015 by Hoover Ink 140 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Best friends since they could walk. In love since the age of fourteen.  Complete strangers since this morning.  He'll do anything to remember. She'll do anything to forget.  MY REVIEW: Unique plot! I enjoyed this story. My only complaint - it was too short. Just when it was getting good and we were finally seeing a teeny tiny glimpse into what's going on - BAM. It ends. Boo! I sort of half expected this given the fact that it's only 140 pages but was definitely hoping we got farther along in the story than we did. Pretty much we only see 48 hours of their life. Not all THAT much can happen in 48 hours. So the story is about 2 teens: 18 year old Silas and 17/18 year old Charlie (I can't remember her exact age).  The story alternates chapters between their POV's. They find them...

Especially when that roommate is the cold and seemingly calculating Bridgette. Tensions run high and tempers flare as the two can hardly stand to be in the same room together. But Warren has a theory about Bridgette: anyone who can hate with that much passion should also have the capability to love with that much passion. And he wants to be the one to test this theory. Will Bridgette find it in herself to warm her heart to Warren and finally learn to love? M...
