November 9 by Colleen Hoover - Restarting January 11th 2023

[Maddie]

Review: Pleased I decided to re-read this book, as I know I didn't really enjoy it the first time, but this time around I almost couldn't put it down. I didn't remember much about it, so it was amazing basically reading it for the first time. So pleased I gave it another chance. Just became a 5-star.
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. And so many different variables in their relationship! (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. She's done bad stuff too, and Ben forgives! Why couldn't she just give him a chance. 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! All in all, thank god for her mum, for pushing her to read the bloody manuscript. (hide spoiler)] I think so many things that Fallon did were wrong, and yes, I understand why, but she could have at least (view spoiler)[given him the chance right from the start and stop dropping him. (hide spoiler)]

41% Done (view spoiler)[ I love Ben so very much for making Fallon feel good about herself and stop self depreciating herself. And well it was kind of QUIET forward that Fallon let him take off her clothes the very first day and on the next meeting after 1 year she is ok with advancements as well.
But I have my doubts .... Ben is too good to believe. Are there really guys out in the world who would actually truly love a girl with scars ... i think this world is generally after outer beauty than inner. But well its a fiction book after all and Hell i am loving it.

But somebody tell me if all the 3 boys love each other ... then why Kyle decks Ben? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I agree about Ben, he is adorable. And as for Kyle hitting Ben, you'll find out why growers the end :p don't you worry haha (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I think Shae means towards instead of growers too Monika :p

Hehe ... Okay then I will wait for that.

Oh yes ... Thanks Maddie, i was wondering what is growers here ... I make such mistakes as well ... like fell instead of feel - desks instead of decks :P

[Monika]

55% Done (view spoiler)["I am liking even more now that i feel Ben actually likes Fallon and not just pitying or using her. I was so exited that they will actually start a relationship and try to work towards their love. But I am scared that Fallon actually refused on the last moment due to the situation. Oh God .... what will happen now - will Ben actually stop feeling for her ... wont he show up on their next Nov 9? :-(" (hide spoiler)]
Coleen always makes me so much engrossed in the story that i hate when i have to stop reading when i have to start my working hours or some guests show up and i have to close my Kindle and attend them :(

[Maddie]

Haha no worries about the language barrier.

[Monika]

Did anyone feel that few characters in this book are referred in UGLY LOVE. Miles /// Tate /// Ian ??

[Maddie]

Yeah they are the same characters. These are the only 2 books with crossovers.

[Monika]

Yeah .. Okay!

[Monika]

67% Done Hahahahahahahahah fewwwshdoldcm,kvhkur .... Oh God i can't stop laughing .... Amber says(view spoiler)[Hold it .. I am not finished yet and throws her shoe to That Idiot Theodore who is like THE ODORE actually. (hide spoiler)] I cannot stop laughing man. How so deserving for such a douchebag with that comment for Fallon.
(view spoiler)[But tell you honestly Ben is such an ass ... how could he get involved with the girl he was calling SISTER. Bloody hell. (hide spoiler)]

[Monika]

74% Done Oh NO ... I know now why (view spoiler)[Kyle hit Ben (hide spoiler)] Oh NO :(
But then again ... Why???

[Monika]

But still ... i feel that (view spoiler)[ Fallon is just a runner ... always runs whenever a situation arises. Why the hell she just can't sit and talk it through ... atleast she might have some clarify? How does running help man (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I knooooow I hate runners!

[Shae]

Haha growers :P thanks maddie for correcting it!

[Maddie]

[Monika]

I will have to work around here in office coz i can't hold very long to find out what did (view spoiler)[My Runner Fallon decide then after reading manuscript and Ben's letters (hide spoiler)] God please help me with few minutes to sneak out of my working hours :P

[Maddie]
