Bewertet mit 5 Sternen

After her father’s sudden death Layken has to move to Michigan with her mother and her little brother. She always seems to be the strong one but on the inside she’s fighting to keep up her hope. Then she meet’s her next door neighbor Will and they hit it off immediately.
Imagine what a shock It was when Layken realized that they just can’t be together. While both of them are fighting their feelings the only way how they can be truly honest is trough poetry.

I loved this book from the very first page. Layken is a truly inspiring character. She had to go through so much and still she’s a strong young woman willing to do everything for her little brother. You can see something similar in Will and that’s probably one of the reasons they get along immediately. I also love the way that poetry adds to the story. Through the poetry slam Will & Lake can have a way to express their feelings without everyone around them knowing. The only thing that I could note as a negative is the fact that it is a bit unrealistic for William and Lake to have such a similar life story.
It was my first Colleen Hoover story but it will definitely not be my last. She has a great writing style and relatable/ interesting characters.
