November 9
by Colleen Hoover
Fallon meets Ben when he saves her from an unpleasant lunch with her actor-father on a terrible anniversary. It has been two years since a fire scarred her, ending her own acting career. She is about to leave to pursue her dreams in New York, but they spend the rest of her last day in L.A together and agree to meet on November 9 every year for five years so that he can write a book about their relationship. Without contact in between dates, they meet each year in increasingly emotional reunions, helping each other deal with huge changes in their lives. While this idea is not new, Hoover (Confess, 2015) infuses it with her trademark passion and emotion. When Ben suffers a terrible loss days before one of their meetings, the plot and feelings ratchet up to a stunning, surprising conclusion.
