And you know what? They do fall in love quite quickly, but not willingly. But what is so refreshing about this book is that the main characters are actually fully aware of the fact that their romance seems a bit like the cringe-worthy “insta-love” that so often plagues romance novels. Or so she thinks!įallon’s chance encounter with Ben, the charming and handsome aspiring writer, on leads to a whirlwind romance that seems a little to good to be true. She has such low self-esteem in the beginning of the novel, thinking love and a career in acting is nearly impossible after a tragic moment in her teenage life derails her plans. I wish I could be as quick on my feet as those two! Fallon is a girl after my own heart, one who loves to read and compares her romantic situations to those in one of the many romance novels she reads. November 9 is no different-Ben and Fallon are instantly likeable characters whose sharp wit made me chuckle constantly while reading. The characters are so real that it feels like you’re reading about people who you could meet at some point in your life (or like people you may already know). When did I become this person who willingly picked up romance novels instead of running far, far away from them? I still don’t consider myself a total lover of romance novels (despite recent evidence of the contrary), but there is just something about reading a Colleen Hoover novel that is just unlike any other romance novel. This is the fourth Colleen Hoover book that I’ve read over the last couple of months and every time I pick up another one of her novels, I fall more in love with her writing.

I just HAD to post this review on this special day, the 9th of November, because the irony of this day was not lost on me! Let me just start this off by saying I LOVED this book.
