This book is quite unrealistic in my opinion, but still so good. It will having you awed, angry, sad, and a whole mix of other emotions. It also is a quick read.

I just threw out the last tissue I used from blowing my snotfull nose.... from all the crying, yes crying I did with this book.
Colleen outdid herself. This book has moved me, moved me to the level of: set the book down, cry into my hands- level. I never thought a book could do that to me. Something about the heartache the female lead Fallon goes through, her reaction to it. On a personal level I related to it, which I think will require some self-psychoanalysis, but thats not a requirement for a review.
This book has the classic, intense scenes that Colleen is known (and why I love her) for. Which brings me to..... not a spoiler but she does mock the "insta-love" in this book, and she is known to mock it as well. But she is damn good at it. So it's a bit of a comedic ironic circle, that I find deliciously intriguing.
Fallon is my spirit animal, and Ben is amazing.
ALL CAPS MOMENT..... THAT PLOT TWIST! THAT PLOT TWIST! I almost feel like I cannot even articulate, I am not worthy of reading something this epic.

I think this is by far my most Favorite CoHo book I have read. I don't know how other people are not out running in the streets screaming of how amazing this book is. Maybe the feel like me? Out of breath and a nose full of snot?

The touching tale of Fallon, a young woman scarred by a tragic event on her face, and Ben, an aspiring novelist, is told in "November 9" by Colleen Hoover. Their special bond grows as a result of their commitment to only getting together on November 9th once a year. This intimate bond helps Fallon face her fears. This book's examination of love and self-acceptance is what I cherished most about it. Ben's resolute encouragement inspires Fallon to accept who she really is, demonstrating the transformational potential of love. But a startling admission about Ben's past strains their bond and causes a lot of conflict. Hoover draws readers into their emotional journey with her engaging writing and shifting points of view. Long after reading, **November 9** is a moving examination of love, trauma, and forgiveness.

o livro tem uma boa história, partes que me prenderam e eu não consegui parar, mas me decepcionei com o final, achei vago, precisando de algo mais.
