Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #34 (month in the title) - November 9 by Colleen Hoover. Man, Hoover can definitely write an interesting story! And there is always something going on much deeper than a simple romance. I enjoyed this book. However, there were a few unbelievable moments (like a 12 year old having an indepth conversation with his little brother about standing up to bullies . . .not believable). Definitely worth reading! 4 stars
