November 9

Product Information

I would like to preface this review by saying that generally speaking, I like Coho books. It Ends With Us is probably one of my favorite novels ever and I also gave Ugly Love 5 stars, both are on my favorites and featured favorites shelves. But this was just-

November 9 is a day on the calendar. One day out of 365. It’s a day that I’ve never really thought about, but from now on, I don’t think this date will pass without me thinking of Ben, Fallon, and their story. When I read the blurb for this book, I was intrigued. At first I thought- such a cool idea. Then I thought, how is this going to work? In case you missed it, Ben's mom killed herself on November 9. That same day he sets he fire that ruined Fallon's life. Two years later, that's the day they first officially meet. So that date has an important significance for a number of reasons. All of which I'm sure were meant to add to this supposedly epic romance, but only ended up being over he top. This stranger introduces himself as Ben, an aspiring novelist and Fallon’s boyfriend that she has convienently forgotten to mention until this very moment. At this point I am questioning whether or not I will continue reading Colleen Hoovers books anymore. How can someone who wrote my favorite book ever, write my two most hated books?

Are they scarred, too? How much of her body is actually affected? CoHo’s men have a way of getting me worked up and not in a good way. It started with her first book Slammed and has continued on in her other books. While they make me want to smash my kindle against a wall, they also make me appreciate the realness of the situation. CoHo's love stories are guaranteed to have the ability to provoke strong emotions in the reader. I’m obsessed with your books! My first one was Verity, couldn’t put it down. I’m working on reading all of them. You’re truly an amazing writer, thank you! Reply

I went into this story completely blind without knowing anything other than what the blurb said and knowing the fact that it was a standalone. My personal recommendation is that you do the same thing. Try not to read anything about the plot and just dive right into the story! As such, I’m not going to talk about the storyline at all here — this is a spoiler-free review — and instead, I’m only going to share the blurb: I mean- you do you girlie, but also, HE IS OBVIOUSLY A CREEPY PSYCHO, DONT MAKE OUT WITH CREEPY PSYCHOS. She’s not the kind of girl you choose your battles for. She’s the kind of girl you fight to the death for.”But if we’re just going to sit here and stare at each other, it’d be nice if she were showing a little cleavage, instead of wearing this long-sleeved shirt that leaves everything to the imagination. It’s pushing eighty degrees outside. She should be in something a lot less . . . convent-inspired.” After that point, I guess they like each other or some sh8t and they agree to meet every year for 5 years on November 9th until they're both 23 because apparently, that's the age you magically have your whole life figured out.
