Title: November 9
Author: Colleen Hoover
Release Date: November 10, 2015
Beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover returns with an unforgettable love story between a writer and his unexpected muse.
Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day of her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist.
Can Ben’s relationship with Fallon—and simultaneously his novel—be considered a love story if it ends in heartbreak?
Holy shit! This book! THIS BOOK! It was everything! I couldn’t put it down. I just wanted to keep reading. I didn’t want to have to actually function and adult today because I was so lost in Ben and Fallon’s story!
“You’ll never be able to find yourself if you’re lost in someone else.”
I literally don’t even know what to say about this book because it was just that good. It made me laugh. It made me cry. I wanted to throw my Kindle at least five different times. And I just couldn’t stop until I got to the very last word.
“Fallon, we’ve been dating for two hours now. I can read you like a book, and right now I do believe that book is full of erotica.”
I don’t want to spoil any of the story by telling you about it. All I can say repeatedly is READ THIS BOOK! READ THIS BOOK NOW! It was amazing, heart-wrenching, heartwarming, heartbreaking, fantastic, and so much more. It is by far one of the best books I have ever read. There were so many unexpected moments. Seriously, READ THIS BOOK!
~ Review by Tiffany
Wowzers! I had no idea what I was getting into when I BEGGED to read November 9! I wanted to read it because he was a writer and I love writers. My heart is fluttering all over the place. Tears. Aches. Love. OH, THE FEELS!
When Fallon and Ben meet, it’s her last day in LA. She’s moving to NYC. But that day, they decide to meet each year the same date to continue the novel Ben decided to write. Each year brings something different, until Fallon becomes unsure of all of it.
“You’ll never be able to find yourself if you’re lost in someone else.”
This struck a nerve! What woman hasn’t been told to ‘be yourself or be who you are’ first? This doesn’t mean you can’t fall in love, or have another person be part of your journey that is life. How amazing would that be! Love is a special thing that each and every person should be able to experience.
“I have to do this. I have to force myself to make a life before the one I’m not living swallows me whole.”
Oh, my goodness. I think I stopped, closed my Kindle and started crying. This. Just this. I need to scream, ‘YESSSSSS!’ Anyone who has doubts about their life, or is in the middle of making a huge life change (like I am), will understand this! I have to do this. Five very simple words with such strong meaning.
“I can’t. I tried, but I think I’d have to go to AA or something. You’re just part of my chemical makeup now, I think.”
When I dream of love, this is the feeling I want. I’ve only been in love once and at that time, I couldn’t imagine living without the person. But it wasn’t the all-consuming love. The kind where you think of them first. Where you want to be a better person and are willing to forgive and forget just to have them in your life. That’s the kind of love I want.
Now… CoHo has won me over. I fell in love with Fallon and Ben. I laughed with them, I cried with them and for them, I loved with them and loved them, and I wanted to help them. I wanted to do anything I could to make sure they found their way back to each other—no matter what! I don’t know if there are enough stars or words to express how I feel about this book, but if you want amazing, you’ll get it with November 9. No questions asked!
