Welcome to Litsy!

So I went crazy 🤪 & read 11 Colleen Hoover books 📚 in a row, I love her writing, stories & plot twists. Here are my absolute favs. ♥️ Unfortunately, It Ends With Us the Blockbuster movie was my least favorite.

1. November 9 (I cried like 😭 17x)
2. Too Late (Crazy unfolding)
3. Confess (Great story)
4. Maybe Someday (Beautiful characters)
5. Layla (Supernatural 👻)
6. Verity (I am still confused but loved it!)
7. Hopeless (Twists and twists)

It‘s beautiful and heartbreaking. Colleen has done it again. Sucked me into another world of love and pain that you don‘t know where it will end up.

And another Hoover 🤩🤩🤩

Not bad but some of her other books are better.

1. I remember my mom making my birthdays so special - from making my favorite dinner to the cake; everything was perfect.
2. I would love to be remembered as being fair and kind.

New book!

The ending of this book was not at all expected. CoHo did it again with this one…
3.25 ⭐️

The concept of this book was completely different and I loved it. The twist and turn at the end was great!

This was a great beach read and another A+ from Colleen Hoover. I Immediately clicked with the main character Fallon, and couldn‘t get the pages turned quickly enough to see what the next November 9th held for her and Ben. Growing pains, tragedy, romance, love, loss, death, betrayal, life, redemption…🖤🖤🖤

I loved the concept, and I liked the imperfections of the main character. However... CoHo, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, please stop narratives from a teenage boys POV! You have proven you can not write as a teenage boy (Never Never 🤢🤮) I enjoyed Fallon's chapters, but Ben's chapters made me want to go at my eyeballs with a cheese grater.
I was stuck between a pan and a so-so. The twist just swayed it. CoHo and I continue a difficult relationship. 🤣

This one took me a little longer to get hooked. Possibly because I‘m still feeling a bit of a book hangover from reading Reminders of Him. But once I finally found my reading groove, it was worth every moment! The ending was everything! #LitsyLoveReads

After working yesterday, an impromptu sleepover my girls had with a friend and an early morning trail race today, I‘m looking forward for this quiet time!!

This book was CRINGEY! Like…the way CoHo spoke as an 18 year old boy made me grimace and maybe dry heave a little. But, as ever, this book is easy to read, although overall I think this is my least favorite book of hers. I ended up skimming the last 30% or so because I knew where it was going.
⭐️: 2.75/5

Can you really go wrong with a CoHo book?! I loved this book! I loved the premise of it, I loved the twisty ending, and I loved the characters. It was a little young adult fiction(y), but I didn‘t mind that!

The premise sounds interesting. Guy meets girl, she moves, they keep in contact, and he rips off her traumatic story to write a novel. But the story is about a meet-cute that goes on forever, and I just can't wait that long for the more sinister stuff.

I really liked the concept of this book, but it definitely had me cringing at times. At certain parts, it was odd and poorly written, but despite this I flew through the book in a day. There were a lot of really romantic and sweet parts, and overall it was super entertaining. I would recommend to people looking for a quick and engaging romance as long as you are willing to look past some weird, unrealistic and toxic elements

"It took four years for me to fall in love with him. It only took four pages to stop." #coho #3of24booksfor2023

It must be one of the worst “romance“ novels I've ever read. The male lead is genuinely one of the most unbearable characters I've ever read, half the time he's objectifying her body and her scars, and the other half is spent being a tumblr poet in 2014. The worst part is that it's marketed as a romance which is awful in itself. 1/5 stars I hate this book.

Always have a dog laying on me! 🤣

If CoHo‘s name is on it, I‘ll be picking it up off that shelf.📚 The characters she writes are always people I‘ve been able to identify with in one way or another, and I just have so much fun living vicariously through her novels. This is the third book I‘ve read of hers, and this one might be my favorite so far.✨ Her novel “Verity” was absolutely mind blowingly good! But I‘m biased with my love for a good romance, and this one‘s a 10.🥰

This charming story will grab you by the heartstrings and pull you right in. Trying to find where you fit in to life after it changes, and it shows how important it is to find that partner who loves you for you and brings you up and raises your confidence.

With typical CoHo style, the twist will leave you jaw dropped and in shock. This book made me laugh, made me choke up, made me feel all amounts of emotions.

Both of these were 5⭐️ reads for me in November, so I couldn‘t choose between them!

Such a love/hate with Colleen Hoover books--they are very addicting (for me) but so much toxicity and trauma, and the outcomes are just so unreal. Either way, already have my next two Hoover books lined up 🤪

2022

As all the other books by CoHo, I loved this one, maybe a little more than other but even a little less than Confess.
I always wait with anxiety for the moment when I finally understand the meaning of Colleen‘s books and as always they surprise me.
I think CoHo is an excellent writer, even though she may add something to her books that I don‘t agree with.
Loved this story though.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow. Just wow. This book left me with every emotion and even had cameos from another one of her books 😍 It was a beautiful read.

I DEVOURED this book. I love CoHo, so my expectation was high. More than just a back and forth each year, it‘s two entire lives and SO MUCH MORE.
Book #78 in 2022

I think this is my favorite Colleen Hoover book yet. I‘ve had mixed reviews with them but this was a solid story with strong writing and characters I could root for. I‘m glad I got it from the library as it is a one time read for me, but overall I enjoyed my time with this one! #NovelNovember #Readathon @Andrew65

I don't know what she puts in her books but of course I cried like a baby. This is only my 2nd CoHo book but I actually really really enjoyed. #audiobook #scribd #romance #romantsy

WHOA! This is definitely one of those hard to put down reads.. Such a roller coaster and a great read! LOVED this one.

Well, I am emotionally gutted! This was one of those books that I didn‘t want to put down and I got a little mad or disappointed when I had to. This is my 3rd #CoHo and so far, I‘ve not been disappointed!

This is an emotional roller coaster. Only get on if you think you like roller coasters. There were times I was just plain frustrated then I climbed far up only to plummet farther down and in some parts I found myself upside down. That's it. That's my review.

"Your mother left me because I slept with her best friend. My personally had nothing to do with it." - Fallon's father

More dramatic than I would normally care for, but at least the ending was satisfying

Keeps you wanting more

Another one by #CoHo and it does not disappoint!

I LOVED THIS ONE!

I absolutely loved this. Both Fallon and and Ben are very likeable.

Verity was technically my first Colleen Hoover book but November 9 is the first I've read from her romance collection. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this one since I've heard her books are very emotional. Well, this book was just wonderful and I loved it.

As I was about 75% through the book, I thought I had the ending figured out but then there was a twist and that made the story even better.

I love this cover! It took me a little bit to get adjusted to the narrators voices in this audio - for some reason they didn‘t seem to fit my vision. Lol. CoHo sure knows how to tug on your heart and sting your eyes.

Keeps you reading.

Supporting my niece by reading what she does so she has someone to talk to about her books.

Why did it take me this long to find this author? I don‘t even really like love stories…well that has now changed! How many more do I get to read? Ben defends Fallon after he over hears her father say that bc of her scars her acting career may be over. A story of being confident in yourself and loving no matter what. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️

I have definitely been on a CoHo kick and this was another book I just couldn‘t put down. I love how there‘s always a twist that catches you off guard and this book doesn‘t disappoint.
