Riley's Book Reviews

  Summary: Fallon and Ben meet each other in LA the day before Fallon plans to move across the country. They spend Fallon's last day in LA together, the eventful life she has becomes the creative imagination Ben has always wanted for his novel. Even though Fallon moves they plan to meet on the same exact day every year. One day Fallon starts to question is Ben has been honest with her or is just using her a plot twist.  I feel like this is one of Colleen Hoover's books that gets overlooked a lot. I never really hear much about it, but it was definitely one of my favorite books. This was her first book that actually made me emotional lol and made me really think and feel what was going on between Ben and Fallon. It definitely had a twist to it but I feel like that is what kept me so engaged into the book. I like how the book was over the course of a few years so we could read about how they were growing up and maturing. This book taught a lot about love, loyalty, growth, forgiv...

  Summary: Lowen is a writer when she decides to take a very big job. Jeremey, who is the husband of a bestselling author Verity, hired Lowen to finish writing books that his wife is no longer able to write because of an injury. When Lowen arrives at their house and starts digging through years of notes from Verity to find information to finish writing these books, she stumbles upon an autobiography that Verity tried to hide from everyone. Lowen doesn't tell Jeremey about the autobiography because she thinks it will make his grieving process even harder. She starts to get feelings for Jeremey, coming to a realization that she should tell him about the autobiography. Jeremey soon realizes that he can no longer love his wife Verity the same.  This is a book I was very hesitant to read because I heard so many mixed reviews about it, but I'm so glad I decided to read it. I read so many reviews saying that this book with a little scary and had a lot of twists and turns it, and alth...

 Summary: Never Never is about Charlie and Silas who have been best friends their whole lives. They have been in love since they were teens, but ever since this morning they are strangers to each other. Every memory they have with each other, they no longer remember. They are trying to trace back to everything and find out what happened to them. They quickly start to learn more about them as a couple, and quickly ask themselves why they were ever together to begin with.  I have read almost every single one of Colleen Hoover's books and I think this one may be my least favorite. I am usually able to fly through her books and finish them within a few days, but for some reason this one took me awhile to get into. I felt like at some points it was just dragging on and could have gotten to the end faster. This book does really make you think though whether that be about your past, your relationships, etc. Although this was my least favorite it wasn't terrible and I have heard of a ...

 Summary: It Starts With Us is the second book that goes along with It Ends With Us. In this book Lily and Ryle start to learn how to coparent now that they are divorced. Lily runs into her first love, Atlas again and they go on a date. Atlas is the one man Ryle does not want Lily to be with. Lily has to learn how to navigate around her ex husband and learn to do whatever she wants. Atlas and Lily really hit it off, and Atlas tells her that she changed his life and taught him what love was. Ryle is so mad at that fact that Atlas and Lily are together, Lily has to hide from him. Atlas and Lily are able to move on having to deal with Ryle and get to live their happily ever after.  I think this book had a lot more twists then It Ends With Us. It took a lot of bravery for Lily to be able to stand up to Ryle and be able to continue to a relationship with Atlas despite having to deal with an abusive Ryle. I think this book teaches that you have to do what makes you truly happy no ma...
