Brilliant read

Reviewed in Australia on 9 August 2022

WOW what a book this turned out to be! I have not read the blurb so I had no idea what this book was about when I started it. Obviously I knew November 9th meant something but what that was I had no clue.

I loved the storyline of this book, it felt very different to anything I have read before. I loved the duel POV and loved getting in each of their heads.

In the last couple of their teenage years, Ben and Fallon have been through a lot, some of which no child should ever have to go through. These events of course led them towards each other and then together they go through a lot because of their pasts. Throughout that though this pair are incredible together, they have a brilliant connection and really just clicked.

I loved the twists in this book, and the banter between Fallon and Ben was just great.

I absolutely loved this book right from the first page, it sucked me in and wouldn’t let me put it down.

Another brilliant CoHo book and one I absolutely recommend to everyone.

Honestly, this book is so toxic and awful. This book in my mind could never be described as a romance. I am shocked with its high rating

I loved the moment that Ben and fallon met, the way their story unfolds with every twist and turn. I honestly couldn’t put this book down. The first time I read it I read in 2 hours. And now I drag it out and I read it every November 9. Colleen Hoover has done it again! This book takes me back to when I first read maybe someday ❤️ Can’t wait to finish all of COHO’s books!

i have just stayed up all night reading this book and absolutely could not put it down! The writing is amazing which I expected but the storyline was so original and I totally did not expect the twist so that was a bonus. This book has everything - drama, angst (not the frustrating kind), a beautifully developed relationship between Ben and Fallon and sadness as well as a HEA (although maybe not the end). Told from two POV's this book is enthralling and I cannot recommend highly enough!

An emotional roller coaster! It takes you on so many ups only to take you on as equally as many downs. You won't want to put it down once you read that first chapter. The cover on this book is beautiful. I'm going to have a huge book hangover now.

Colleen Hoover was born to write! When you embark on a reading journey of which Colleen is the author you know it can only be one of greatness! Each of her stories and characters are unique. You become invested in it, always feeling like you are right there with the characters and you are captivated by each word from start to finish. We are sure we’ve all said it before “I feel like I am standing next to these characters living their lives.” Feeling as though their journey is real. November 9 comes marked with that stamp. CoHo books are beyond amazing.
Get ready for the feels, all the feels…

We both read this book in one sitting, we could not put it down. To say we experienced the “feels” is an understatement, our emotions have been put through a manic spin cycle. Be prepared, your thoughts will be held in a tug of war. You will be angry, sad, swooning, happy, giggling by the end your heart will be ready to burst and may break and then be healed again.
The twist and the secrets, oh my god!

Fallon and Ben are two beautiful characters who meet and have an instant connection, November 9 has a meaning for both of them separately and even more so together. The weight of their problems directs the intensity of the book. You can feel every struggle and how heavy their troubles lay on them.

As the years progress so do the lives of Fallon and Ben. The snippets and insights we get from both characters are just enough to keep you on your toes wondering how Colleen is going to connect their dots. To say we were shocked with where the book took us is an understatement. At one point I (Kayla) remember thinking this is some twisted work CoHo.

November 9 is one of those books for us where we couldn't write a review the way we normally do without giving away too much. You might want to make room in the freezer for your kindle or paperback so you can gather your thoughts. You will not be disappointed, you will be left wanting more!

My recommendation: grab the tissues and clear your schedule because you wont be able to put down this book.

Reviewed in Australia on 28 May 2016

Fallon O’Neil is 16 when she is severely injured in a house fire. As an up and coming actress, her career is damaged after her burns heal but the scars remain. Fallon loses all self-esteem and confidence while wallowing in pity. That is until she meets Benton James Kessler, the day she moves to New York. A romance begins immediately but due to Fallon’s need to love herself and find herself, they agree to meet once a year on November 9th for the next five years with no contact in between.

CoHo does it again. She knocks it out of the park. Home runs all around. So far, her male protagonists eerily remind me of my partner. The perfectly imperfect male where no matter what he does and how bad it is, he still seems so perfect and so loveable. Even when you know you should be really mad or hate them, you cannot help but love them.

I instantly wanted to be Fallon’s friend. I wanted to boost her confidence, cheer her on and build her up. The more I got to know her, the more I wished that she were real. Even though she does wallow in her self-pity, she still is incredibly tenacious when it comes to her dreams and goals. No matter who tells her what she can and cannot achieve, she stills gives it all she can.

Ben the Writer is mysterious and I loved this element of him. Every once and a while there is a hint of something that lets you know that you don’t actually know everything about him.

Colleen Hoover sends you on an emotional roller coaster. I wish I could detail how the scenes made me feel but they only way to do that is by giving spoilers and I would much rather you just pick up the book and read it. She alternates from Fallon’s POV to Ben’s POV, which really works for this type of book. She also doesn’t detail the same things again and again, she just moves onto the next part but told from the others perspective.

Hoover makes you question what you would do in their situation constantly. She leaves you understanding both sides and personally, I still don’t know what I would do. CoHo also teaches you that love really does conquer all and not in a cheap cliché way but in a meaningful and thought provoking way.

My recommendation: grab the tissues and clear your schedule because you wont be able to put down this book.

Amazing new story from Colleen Hoover!

Reviewed in Australia on 9 November 2015

You know, each and every time I pick up a Colleen Hoover, I say to myself "she can't do better than ..." (whichever is the last of her books I have read).

But each and every time she blows that thought right out of the water, and it was not different with November 9.

I loved the premise of November 9 - after a chance meeting, Ben and Fallon to decide to meet up on the same day every year for the next 5 years, but will have no contact for the rest of the year.

Told from Ben and Fallon's POVs, through trials and tribulations, through relationships, careers, lives in general, the reader can feel the excitement as November 9 comes around each year. The anticipation, the fear, the wondering - are they as wonderful as they remembered?

As the years progress, Ms Hoover does things to me

3rd November 9 - my heart breaks

4th November 9 - Ms Hoover rips my still beating heart out of my chest

Last November 9 - I swear she was trying to kill my by dehydration as I leaking so much!

As much as November 9 is a story about love, it is a story about friendship, loss, survival.

From the minute I picked it up, I could not put it down. I just needed to know what was going to happen to our lovelies as each year passed.

November 9 is a beautiful story that will at times break your heart, and needs to go on your TBR list!

I can't wait to see what Ms Hoover brings us next

5 stars for 'November 9'..

As always when I begin reading a Colleen Hoover novel, I prepare prepare myself for a rollercoaster of emotions. However November 9 blew me out of the water. This novel was so emotional and the story of Ben and Fallon had be glued to my laptop screen all night because I couldn't put it down at all! I was so invested into their story and I felt all of their emotions as I was reading. As always Colleen Hoover outdid herself with this novel..I loved some of the surprises we see in this book (I'd love to say what they are but I don't want to spoil anything or give any hints). Fallon and Ben's story is not a story I will be getting over anytime soon. I really did love this novel and it is certainly a must read. I only finished it a few minutes ago and I've ready recommended it to two of my friends. November 9 is either close or has taken over Ugly Love as my favourite Colleen Hoover novel. Incredible.
