Anybody got any thoughts on this one before we start?
Has anyone read anything similar to this before?
Anybody read anything else by this author previously?
I have been meaning to read this book since it was released and really wanted to read it before I went to Texas for Book Bonanza , which is hosted by Colleen Hoover, on the 23rd thru 25th of June but didn't manage to get to it so I'm glad that it was a buddy read this month.I am curious to know if this book will be different from Colleen's other books. I've actually read most of Colleen's books so I kind of have a feel of her writing style so I'm hoping this follows her normal pattern but also that it has something different.
Okay I'm about 30% done with this book and it's following the typical Colleen Hoover writing style of female MC has some kind of tragic past and the male MC is an A-hole to her because of said tragic past. I am curious as to what the real story is behind the accident is though because I doubt the female MC is the real cause.
I totally called the ending of this book but I still loved every word. Knowing that everything was a misunderstanding and that she didn't realize that he was still alive broke my heart not only for Kenna but for all the characters. They all hated her because they thought she knew he was still alive but her letter cleared everything up.
Knowing that this book was tragic but had a happy ending really picked my mood up because for awhile it was like okay where's the change going to happen.
I really hope anyone else who reads this, this month enjoys it as much as I did. I know Colleen Hoover isn't everyone's cup of tea as a person but, as a writer she is pretty dang solid on her writing skills.
This book has been on my list. I finally got it and I am so happy to start reading it. Just finished chapter 1!Chapter 1: (view spoiler)

I, too, am interested to see how this book will differ. She is a great writer. I have read many of her books as well.

Sharon wrote: "Chapter 10: [spoilers removed]"I found that lie hilarious honestly.
Sharon wrote: "Ending Thoughts: [spoilers removed]"I didn't like Ledger at the beginning because of how he was acting towards Kenna but I realized that with the misunderstanding of the situation that you can never know how someone really feels about a situation but once the misunderstanding was out of the way and everyone got their happy ending I was really happy and touched.
A troubled young mother yearns for a shot at redemption in this heartbreaking yet hopeful story from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover. After serving five years in prison for a tragic mistake, Kenna Rowan returns to the town where it all went wrong, hoping to reunite with her four-year-old daughter. But the bridges Kenna burned are proving impossible to rebuild. Everyone in her daughter’s life is determined to shut Kenna out, no matter how hard she works to prove herself. The only person who hasn’t closed the door on her completely is Ledger Ward, a local bar owner and one of the few remaining links to Kenna’s daughter. But if anyone were to discover how Ledger is slowly becoming an important part of Kenna’s life, both would risk losing the trust of everyone important to them. The two form a connection despite the pressure surrounding them, but as their romance grows, so does the risk. Kenna must find a way to absolve the mistakes of her past in order to build a future out of hope and healing.
