Louisa’s 5 Blush Audible Review

First things first – the warning – have you ever seen a warning on a Colleen Hoover book before?  No – well this one needed it.   This book is so different from other Colleen books but that’s not a bad thing.  We loved the YA feel of Slammed and Hopeless, we ventured into a more NA feel with Ugly Love and Maybe Someday and It End With Us but this book is so out of the norm for Colleen.

I have often joked that there is no pulsing and bulging members in Colleen books, well – apparently when you write your book on Watt Pad and you are C. Hoover (aka Colleen Hoover or CoHo as she’s often called) – you have some bulging and pulsating going on.  This book pushed my boundaries but that’s something I love when reading (or listening in this case).  I will read anything and everything that Colleen writes so I was reading these chapters are they were being uploaded to Watt Pad.  I thought, yes thought, I had read the entire book.  So when I hit a certain point of the audible I thought – this is almost over but low and behold – I had 4 hours more to go! I said – WTF Colleen. Colleen continued writing, allowing these characters to continue to “speak to her”.   They didn’t hold back – not one little bit! The F word, is abundant in this book – 708 times to be exact), but I whole heartedly believe every one of them was necessary!  – This book, this story, these characters deserve every word they spoke.

The epilogues were abundant, the prologue was perfection, the multiple POV’s were necessary, the present and past timelines brought it all together and made the story the masterpiece in which we expect from Colleen Hoover. There is intrigue, sex, drugs, alcohol, mental health issues, laughter, debauchery and sadness in this book – a beautiful melding of so many different experiences.
