![]() ![]() We are now married and I don’t feel like I missed out on anything in my life and I don’t feel like I gave up any of my dreams to be with him. My issue with this is that I met my husband when I was 17. Fallon had this mindset of “I can’t fall in love until after 23” and while Ben addressed how ridiculous this was, it still felt like it was a major, and supported, part of the book. The first half of the book felt like it was telling me that falling in love at a young age is absolutely ridiculous. And that brings me to my next thought while reading this: 2. In fact, a lot of the novel is spent trying to convince the reader to not fall for it. ![]() ![]() But that admission wasn’t enough for me to be convinced of it. However, I’ll give it to Hoover for admitting (within the story) that it was insta-love. Don’t get me wrong, Hoover knew how to write some really swoon-worthy and addicting scenes, but I wasn’t actually sold on the actual connection between the two of them. However, the deep emotional connection between Fallon and Ben was just a little hard to actually imagine. While, if we’re being honest, it’s still insta-love, it was unique, so I’ll give it that. ![]() Well, this novel takes a very different approach to it. Many of us aren’t too fond of insta-love. ![]()
