Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon's last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.
Can Ben's relationship with Fallon - and simultaneously his novel - be considered a love story if it ends in heartbreak?
Another solid CoHo book. She never disappoints me. I always love stories, where peoples lives are intertwined. It was quite a gasp-worthy moment when I came to the realization of why Ben and Kyle had that falling out. (Yes, I predicted it, but only a page or two before it was revealed.)
As Hoover often does, she throws in a big plot twist. I gasped audibly, and, I believe, shouted something to the like, "Curse you CoHo!", when I was reading the 4th November 9th (I think). My heart broke, and I was mad at everyone! It's the emotional roller coaster I expect from Colleen Hoover, and she always delivers.
A lot of drama, a lot of sadness, but also a lot of funny, sweet, and lovely moments. I loved how this one date, November 9, could hold so much significance, and I love the idea of turning your worst day into your best day.
