I set down my phone. I turn off my lamp and my room grows pitch black. With no windows and no lights on outside the room, I can't see a single thing. It's the first semblance of peace I've had all day. I wonder if this is what death is like. Just . . . nothing.

//From the book Without Merit by Colleen Hoover
“It annoys me when people try to convince other people that their anger or stress isn’t warranted if someone else in the world is worse off than them. It’s bullshit. Your emotions and reactions are valid, Merit. Don’t let anyone tell you any different. You’re the only one who feels them.” -Sagan Kattan

19th July 2022
At last, I have finished Without Merit by Colleen Hoover. What are your recommendations for the next Colleen Hoover I should read? I'm thinking Confess or November 9.
My review (spoilers under the cut):
4/5
Without Merit is sweet in a really disturbing way. Family secrets and romance often can be jarring but someone Colleen Hoover pulls it off so that the characters and their arcs are more compelling. I believe in a love story which can survive the pure storm which occurs in this book.
Merit as a character is wholly relatable and regardless of her flaws, she remains a really solid protagonist who we begin to understand. All the other characters - my favourite being Luck and Sagan - are also really well-rounded and bring a lot to the table. When there is a scene with any character I didn't feel a lag in the story, all of them were engaging and fun albeit sometimes a little odd (for lack of a better term).
My only true issue (that isn't specific) is that some scenes feel more like a PSA than a book. Sometimes, this can be because of info dumping, which I understand as the book is YA so events that happened before a younger audience can remember may have to be recapped however it just felt like a drop in the story. While bringing up these topics is good, they can also slow down the story and give less impact to the reader. Along this vein, there are some scenes which - and I hate to describe it like this - cringy, especially around what's "normal" when it comes to mental health. It's not that the message is bad just that the execution is a little off-putting. It feels like a video which was played in health class.
SPOILERS AHEAD (also language warning)
Can we talk about Utah? I get the whole idea of his repressed sexuality and as someone who felt the same for years I get it but holy shit this genuinely shocked me. Don't get me wrong, I am glad it did, as I felt some of the twists were a little predictable but this one was the one that got to me most.
Also, I love how Honor's problem with Merit doesn't stem from some traumatic event but rather just siblings growing apart. It felt more sombre than the dramatic secrets and was a nice change of pace.
Their mum and dad are horrific parents. Oh my god. There is too much to say about it because it's crazy. The fact they both lied about Victoria's health issues and almost death is really fucked up. Can't believe Merit actually forgave her dad in the end. Even if he does try to make up for it, Jesus Christ. I could not come back from that. On the subject of which, the younger Victoria, I feel so sorry for her. Her worst crime is that she doesn't let her kid have sugar, but she cooks for these kids and they treat her like dirt. I get why initially but when you're almost an adult you just have to accept things are a certain way and that no matter what she will be in your family due to their brother. I don't know, I get that she intrudes on them and that they believe she was responsible for their parent's divorce but they can clearly see she's trying.
Also, Sagan is a cutie. A 10/10 from me.
