This exciting and suspenseful novel will keep readers dying to read more as they encounter all the surprising twists throughout the book. In the “Dear Reader” written by Colleen Hoover at the beginning of the book she states that this book was never intended to be released, but as her writing process continued she grew into loving the storyline.

The most enjoyable and interesting part about reading this book was all of the plot twists. Something new and exciting was happening in the book constantly which made it very hard to put down. “Too Late” was different from a lot of her other books because it brought up many various topics that Colleen Hoover had not previously written about. The topics in this book such as domestic violence, abuse, rape, and childhood trauma are very emotionally heavy and can be hard to read about. Each character in this book has a unique personality and storyline that evolves throughout reading the story, this makes the reader keep picking up the book and coming
back for more.

“Too Late” by Colleen Hoover is definitely worth reading. I found the book very engaging and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a different type of “heart-breaking” story. Some parts of the book were unbelievable and incredibly unlikely to actually happen but in my opinion, that's what made this book so interesting. Compared to her previous books this one really got my attention because of its distinct and dark romance narrative.
