[Maddie]

Thanks Sarah :)

[Tayane]

First November 9th - Fallon: (view spoiler)[ Omg, her father is an asshole >.< I hate him so much right now. And Ben was really cute defending her, even though I know why he's trying to get close to her. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Aren't there chapters in this one, just weird sections?

[Tayane]

It's divided by the Novembers and then alternate chapters for Fallon and Ben, but it doesn't count the chapters.

[Maddie]

Alright. I presume I'll see what you mean by Novembers later on haha.

[Maddie]

You still reading it?

[Tayane]

We follow the characters for some years at the same day (November 9th). It's like One Day, I guess (neve read it).
Yes, I'm still reading.

[Maddie]

Alright, how far through are you now? Nothing interest enough to report on? I'll be starting it in sprints in a few minutes :)

[Tayane]

I already read 14%
Will update here when I finish the first November.

[Maddie]

Ah alrighty :)

[Maddie]

I'll be updating whenever I feel the need to, but at least once a chapter thingy.

[Maddie]

Assumed Fallon was a guy :p And I already don't like her dad.

[Maddie]

2% (view spoiler)[And what's the bet that she'll find someone to love her, and she'll think it's an act, just because she's got scars. (hide spoiler)]

[Tayane]

First November 9th
(view spoiler)[ I don't know how Ben can be cute and a jerk at the same time. And I can't believe she allowed him to undress her like that. It was really weird. But then he comes and do that airport thing... A lot of weird things happened to them in just one day that I just can't buy. Let's see what happens in the next November. (hide spoiler)]

[Tayane]

39%
(view spoiler)[ I'm curious to know why Kyle reacted like that. I don't think it's because Ben took a girl home, there may be something more about it. I still think this whole situation is weird, don't know if I'm really liking. (hide spoiler)]

[Tayane]

50%
(view spoiler)[ I admit I felt just like Fallon when Ben said he couldn't go to New York. But I really feel sorry that his brother died, though I never really got to know him. I'm afraid I'll never know why he hitted Ben on second November.
It was funny they brought up One Day lol (hide spoiler)]

[Tayane]

54% (view spoiler)[ I don't know if I like their relationship, he's so bossy over her. And I can't believe that she likes some things he says! Ugh, it was supposed to be cute and romantic, but it's starting to irritate me. (hide spoiler)]

[Tayane]

63 % (view spoiler)[ I just can't believe he's with Jordyn! >.<
I feel like missing parts of the story because they don't talk too much about the past year. Of course, they talk about the big events, but I still feel like missing something deeper. And this whole one-day thing is still weird to me. I mean, they just met 4 times in their lives. Let's see how things go. (hide spoiler)]

[Robin]

at least 60% but cant check exactly (view spoiler)[ I totally realized Ben was with Jordyn when he brought the baby to meet up with Fallon and I felt crushed because she was ready to tell him how she felt. I agree it was kind of a weird concept how they would meet up each year and things would suddenly become magical between them but it was also kind of amazing. (hide spoiler)]

[Tayane]

Finished!
(view spoiler)[ I liked some things about this book, but there is a lot that I disliked. Who would wait a whole year to try to fix things? It just doesn't make sense that he didn't go after her when she left after reading the manuscript. And before that, when she found out that he was with Jordyn and he broke up with the latter. And the drama at the end, ugh... I know she was in love with him, but she decided things very fast for someone who was feeling betrayed and broken.
I enjoyed some parts, but others I just couldn't buy. (hide spoiler)]

[Tayane]

Something more from my ending thoughts:
(view spoiler)[ I felt like the ending (with Ben' manuscript) was sort of a mess. Too much drama, too much excuses, it was even hard to read, not in a good way. I think Colleen tried to put a lot of content in her story that didn't need to be there. Everything was so weirdly convenient. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Haha I'm 35% through and (view spoiler)[I'm really loving it as I knew I would :p I like the way Ben's so protective and, although Fallon's so insecure, she trusts him. And I like the way they banter and flirt. It's so cute! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Have you read Ugly Love by Colleen?

[Maddie]

Tayane wrote: "39%
[spoilers removed]"

Yeah, hopefully we find out! And I think Ian's the married douchebag from Ugly Love, that's why I asked if you'd read it.

Tayane wrote: "50%

53% (view spoiler)[Oh my gosh I would feel exactly the same. And I love the way she turned up anyway and then he cried into her shirt. I really really love vulnerable guys. They're adorable. I do think it's a bit weird though how it's their third November, so they've known each other for 2 days, and they already want to move in together. It's cute, and I love their all-encompassing love, and I want some, but it's a little unbelievable.

I also feel sad for Fallon though, how Jordyn needs Ben there, so he can't move to NY with her :(

And another comment from back in Ugly Love. OHMYGOD Tate and Miles are having a baby!!! I love it! Also makes me happy that Miles could move through his past enough to enjoy the possibility of a future :) (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Tayane wrote: "54% [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Haha, I'm thinking the opposite. I like the way he's so open and bossy and protective. It's so sweet. (hide spoiler)]

62% (view spoiler)[Holy moly! Ben and Jordyn! I mean, it's sweet and I'd probably ship them if it was their story and not Ben and Fallon's, but it sucks knowing that he's with Jordyn for Oliver and not for her. And another thing that sucks is Fallon, for leaving it like that and letting Ben think she didn't love him. I mean, the whole point of meeting once a year is to do other life things, but I feel so sad for Fallon. And I also feel incredibly pissed off by Fallon. I can see Jordyn being really innocent and genuine, and all Fallon is to me is selfish, the way she needs to convince herself that she's doing it for another reason, not her own selfishness. Especially since all she seems to do is walk away from her problems and then make them someone else's fault. She shouldn't have walked away on the third November, it was so wrong. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yeah I agree! I kind of hope there's a book later on that goes through all the years they spent apart, particularly Ben's. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

71% (view spoiler)[Oh wow she found the manuscript! :D (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

77% done (view spoiler)[No. No no no no no no he did not start the fire! I need to know why he did! Dammit Fallon show us the whole manuscript! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Journal (view spoiler)[Yay, we have the manuscript! Sucks there's no page numbers anymore, because Idk how far through I am. Probably finish it now, or tomorrow morning. (hide spoiler)]

[Tayane]

Hahaha I didn't read Ugly Love XD

[Maddie]

Oh wow it's awesome. You've gotta read all of her books! I think I'm about 40 pages from the end, but I'm off to sleep now. I'll finish it tomorrow. I'm up to the (view spoiler)[manuscript bit, and it's so good! He didn't intentionally start the fire, he just set the car on fire. (hide spoiler)] After this, the only book I have left by her to read is Never Never part 3. I should also re-read Slammed.

[Maddie]

Tayane wrote: "Something more from my ending thoughts:

I agree that (view spoiler)[everything was oddly convenient. This is kind of unbelievable in the way none of her other books are. (hide spoiler)]

My review: Out of all of her books so far, I'm sad to say that I didn't like this one as much. If it was by a different author, I probably would have, but because I have such high expectations of Colleen Hoover that she always surpasses. But for some reason, this book didn't really do it for me. I didn't like how (view spoiler)[They only met every November 9. I mean, it made for a good story, but I thought it was a little crazy how technically they only spent at maximum 7 days together and they're hopelessly in love. (hide spoiler)] I also kind of don't like how selfish Fallon is, being (view spoiler)[all self-absorbed every time Ben does something wrong. I mean, if I had a guy who was just that open and vulnerable and protective and passionate, I wouldn't want to risk losing him! (hide spoiler)] I think so many things that Fallon did were wrong, and yes, while I (view spoiler)[was shocked that Ben had started the fire, (hide spoiler)] it was nowhere near like what I thought.

[Tayane]

(view spoiler)[ I just couldn't buy the fact that they were in love considering they just met once a year and never talked to each other after November 9. I just couldn't XD And Ben... I didn't really like him, I've already explained why :p But I understand why people enjoyed the book, though.

In my opinion, they were both so stupid. The November Fallon finds out that Ben is with Jordyn, I thought he would look for her knowing she was back to LA, but he waited a whole year again. And then the same thing when she found the manuscript. It just didn't make any sense to me XD They really frutrated me. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah it annoyed me heaps too. I wish this one wasn't the final one of hers I read. Didn't like it as much.

[Maddie]

Gosh I just noticed you only gave it 2 stars! You mustn't have liked it much!

[Tati]

Anyone still reading this?

Awesome! Let's read it together, then!

[Tati]

17% (view spoiler)[ that's got to be the weirdest "packing" method ever. What is the point of taking your shirts from your wardrobe and throwing them on the floor? They'll only get dirty and rumpled. (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

23% (view spoiler)[ that guy is just weird... (hide spoiler)]

[Tati]

76% (view spoiler)[ did we really need such an ugly twist?? What is Ben's explanation for that? (hide spoiler)]

I finished, and I don't think this is one -good- CoHo book, I mean, i think it could have a better plot? Idk, I just dont think it's as good as her other books.

[Tati]

To be honest, she is nowhere near one of my top authors. The highest rating I ever gave one of her books was 3 stars. And I've read quite a few of her books... I think I'll just give up on her, just like I did with Sarah Dessen

I started this last night. Previous comments aren't leaving me too excited! I already don't care for boring-plot, predictable, contemporary/romance books.

Page 33 (view spoiler)[I would not be happy with his "help." And if this was my father, I'd be one messed up young lady. (hide spoiler)]

I'm about where you are, and it's so good so far! So heartbreaking ... and the self control (I suppose that's what it is?) they have to leave each other at the end of the day each year ... I'd have given in by now.
