There is no doubt about it, Colleen Hoover is one of
my favourite authors. She is a brilliant writer and can get a message across in
a way that most authors can’t. This book’s cover had me hooked from the reveal, I knew I had to get a copy
ASAP and then once I did for some reason I put off reading it.
The book centres around the Voss family, they are
definitely not your average American family. The once cancer-stricken mother
lives in the basement, the father married to the mother’s former nurse, the
little half-brother isn’t allowed to do or eat anything fun, and the eldest
siblings are irritatingly perfect. Then, there’s Merit.
Merit Voss collects trophies she hasn’t earned and
secrets her family forces her to keep.
It was definitely a page-turner,
with all the secrets that were revealed and then,
of course, Merit’s own revelation. This wasn’t your average Colleen
Hoover book that revolved around the romantic relationship aspect, but more
about the family dynamic and how families work through their own issues.
The characters where interesting, each one getting
their moment to shine, my only complaint would be that the book ended so
abruptly with a lot of the story not being done (if this is the first book in
the series, I will change this part of the review). I would really like to know
how the story ends for them.
Other than that, it was an enjoyable read.
