Beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover returns with an unforgettable love story between a writer and his unexpected muse. Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist. Can Ben’s relationship with Fallon—and simultaneously his novel—be considered a love story if it ends in heartbreak?

OMG this might be the best book I’ve read this year. INSANE. Could not put down, totally ruined my sleep from staying up so late reading, finished in 24 hours. AHHHH!!! Can we just pause for a moment to relive the opening line of this book? “I wonder what kind of sound it would make if I were to smash this glass against the side of his head.” … WHAT! Aside from that Gone Girl vibes quote, read this if you want a romance that’ll cause you to laugh, scream, and cry - and apparently not sleep because you have to get to the end. Ps. Edit: I’ve since learned that this book was reissued in 2021, which is the version I read. Apparently the 2015 version had some questionable consent moments, which I totally get would color one’s feeling about the characters & lead to lower star reviews. Pick up the one with the pink flower on it!
