November 9 - by Colleen Hoover (Paperback)

Slow paced, and unrealistic

I absolutely LOVED this book!! It had a twist to it and its such a sweet romance book one of my favorites

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 rounded to 5 📖 Quotes from the Book “You’ll never be able to find yourself if you’re lost in someone else.” “You can’t leave yet. I’m not finished falling in love with you.” “I thought I was tougher than a word, but I just discovered that having someone you love say ‘I don’t love you’ is more painful than any physical pain I’ve ever been through.” 📚 Overall Reading Experience & Impressions This book was an emotional rollercoaster! It took a little while to get into, but once the drama kicked in, it was impossible to put down. The unique premise—meeting only once a year on the same date—created so much tension and anticipation. The plot twist completely threw me for a loop, and even though there were some predictable moments, the emotional depth and character growth kept me hooked. The love story is intense, heartbreaking, and filled with Colleen Hoover’s signature gut-wrenching twists. This is definitely one of my favorites. ✅ What I Liked ✨ Unique concept of a once-a-year love story ✨ Emotional and deeply moving romance ✨ Unexpected plot twists that kept me hooked ✨ Strong character development ❌ What Didn’t Work 🤯 The plot hole about Ben not knowing who Fallon’s dad was felt unrealistic 🤨 Some parts of the story felt overly dramatic or rushed ❤️‍🔥 Certain romantic moments felt a bit predictable 💭 Final Thoughts A beautifully written, emotional love story with unforgettable twists. While it has some flaws, the emotional impact and intense romance make it a must-read for fans of Colleen Hoover. If you love books that make you cry, gasp, and question everything—this one is for you! 📌 Who Would I Recommend This To? 💔 Fans of emotional, heartbreaking romances 📖 Readers who love plot twists and unexpected reveals 🎭 Those who enjoy deep, character-driven love stories 📚 Fans of It Ends With Us and Ugly Love 🔥 Spice Rating: 🌶️ no explicit scenes; implied or tasteful 🔞 Age Rating: 16+ Mature themes, emotional intensity)

At first I thought I wouldn't be able to finish the book...it was a little too cheesey for my taste. But, I kept reading and then I found myself needing to know what happens next and not being able to put it down. So, I did end up enjoying overall. Very sweet and some unexpected twists.

I loved everything about the book!

This was the first highly recommended book by Colleen Hoover that I didn’t enjoy. Everyone has different tastes, but for context, my fav’s (by rank) have been: #1Verity #2It ends with us #3 Ugly love #4 Reminders of him #5 It starts with us I thought Nov 9 dragged until halfway. Then idk i felt like the storyline was too unrealistic and cheesy for my personal taste.

I actually enjoyed this and I’m not big into romance novels.

It was amazing!!! Must read!

So good! I second CH book!

I’m rating this book at 1 because this wasn’t an exciting read. Reminders of Him and It Ends with Us are my favorites so far by Colleen Hoover. I rate those 5 stars.

I’ve loved most Colleen Hoover books so far, but this one just seemed to do it for me. The beginning started off slowly and not very attention grabbing in my opinion. I honestly debated if this would be a “DNF”. It wasn’t horrible and did start to pick up towards the middle and ending. All in all, it was okay and I’m glad I was able to finish reading in its entirety.

Absolutely loved November 9. Colleen Hoover knows how to punch you in the guts and hug you at the same time. The twists and turns kept me on my toes. Especially loved the cameos of the characters from Ugly Love. It would be a total waste if they don't turn this into a movie.

First time writing a book review. Loved it! This is her 4th book I've written. Never felt like I literally needed to take an emotional break from reading and put the book down to recover! Such a great read. Also loved that the characters from Ugly Love came in for a moment!

I was looking for a romance/feel good book and this one was spot on! I couldn’t put it down and finished in one day. Highly recommend and will be purchasing another one of her books!

This book is great! Great storyline and there is a lot of depth in the characters. Will make you feel a lot of different emotions.

I couldn’t put this book down,read it in 2-3 days. I loved this book so much!!!

Couldn’t put it down, Hoover continues to write these page turners! Don’t miss this one, or her other series. Buy!!

Absolutely love this book. Gave it to my daughter to read afterwards and it’s on our top favorite list of Colleen Hoover

Wasn’t my favorite book by her. It felt very drug on & repetitive, and a little too “cheesy” for me

Good quick read. I really enjoyed it!
