Fallon was a successful television actress for two years, until she was 16, when she was seriously injured in a fire. Left with significant physical and emotional scars, she always keeps her guard up, convinced people only see the damage she has sustained.
Two years later she meets Ben, an aspiring writer, the day before she’s moving to NYC from Los Angeles. Their chance encounter intrigues both of them and both are shocked by the intensity of their feelings for one another. They spend Fallon’s last day in LA together and then make a vow: they’ll meet for the next five years on the same day (November 9), no matter what their life is like. After five years, they’ll see if they’re ready for forever. But in the meantime, no contact with each other except that one day a year.
Each year finds them in different places, feeling different things, facing different obstacles. Can someone who doesn’t believe in “insta-love” let their guard down? Is that even realistic?
How much can your life be shaped by someone you’ve barely met? Will the feelings you have for one another intensify or die in the absence of regular contact?
"When you find love, you take it. You grab it with both hands and you do everything in your power not to let it go. You can't just walk away from it and expect it to linger until you're ready for it."
This book is romantic, tragic, frustrating, and beautiful. I love the way Colleen Hoover writes and this book kept me guessing a bit. I stayed up late to devour this one.
Bravo, CoHo!!
