November 9: A Novel

A gripping tale of love, secrets, and betrayal perfect “for fans of Gillian Flynn” (Library Journal, starred review) from the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author of Regretting You, Verity, and It Ends with Us.

When Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, their connection defies logic, sparking an instant bond that seems almost too perfect. But perfection often hides cracks, and as their unconventional arrangement unfolds, the pair agrees to meet only once a year on November 9th— with no contact in between. What begins as an intriguing exploration of love and trust quickly turns into something stronger with more twists than either of them imagined.

Beneath their romance lies a tense undercurrent and Fallon begins to question Ben’s true intentions. With each passing November, the web of truth and lies grows tighter, and what started as a love story teeters on the edge of obsession.

Pulsing with intense chemistry and heart-stopping revelations this riveting novel dares to ask: Can love survive when the truth is the ultimate plot twist?

This was an easy read for me. I liked the story line up to the plot twist. I will recommend but not a favorite of mine for Colleen Hoover

Plot twist, big time. The story line can get fairly repetitive but overall I enjoyed it.

I'm having a hard time rating November 9. I was a little worried--and confused--when I saw all the mixed reviews for this one, but now I understand. I have a love/hate relationship with Colleen Hoover's books. I love her writing style, but sometimes her books are too over the top for me. (I loved Confess.) Unfortunately, this fell into the second category. I did stay up into the wee hours trying to finish this one (but mostly coffee is to blame for that), but it was more of a I can't look away! situation. There were so many things about this novel that bothered me, and I won't go into them because there are plenty of other reviews that do that. Plus, I hate spoilers.
