Say You Swear

3.5 rounded down

This book was not what I was expected.

There were moments of greatness, but it was not the college football romance I was expecting.

There was love, minimal spice, but so much... Tragedy which isn't really what I'm looking for in my romances.

The biggest highlight is Noah - a too tier book boyfriend.

i don't want to talk about it.

This was my first book by Meagan Brandy, and I am definitely adding more of her books to my TBR, maybe as audiobooks this time around to see if I can deal with them better that way.

This book, broke me, tore me apart and then put me back together. I rarely cry in books, but the last pages had me sobbing. I know that a lot of people didn't like this book because its a love triangle, but my dirty little secret is that I love them, when done right, like One True Lovers, of TJR. When the reader is also torn apart. After the first 1/3 of the book, and when we see how good Noah is, I want to reach inside the book and smack her on the head, and explain to her why she should just forget the other guy.

I don't want to spoil a lot of what is happening in this book, because is a whole experience, I liked it a lot, but I could just torn about 100 pages out and it wouldn't make any difference. If this book was a bit less it would have been so much more for me. But some parts of it, just dragged and dragged and I am ashamed to admit it but I was skimming through lines at some point.

Why didn't she just made it into a duology. One book until she realised how she felt for him, one book from the break up and the accident and forward? 

The first half was very mid and then the plot twist happened and it was like holy shit wtf and then it was back to mid

Chase can respectfully die in a ditch and Noah can't catch a single break, that poor guy

3.5 Stars

It's very long and starts out really good. Family friend group since they were kids. Very tight knit. Lots of drama, love triangle, no cheating.

I loved Noah, so much. He was the best, mature, moma's boy and beautiful. Best character in the book!

“I'm inlove with her and if Im right, which I hope to hell Ism, shes on her way to loving me right back.
If she could, I'd need nothing else.
Just her.”

Lots of chaos in the last 20% of the book. I really liked it till then. Just really long and then alot if crazy stuff happened at the end. But ending was good, and I love an epilogue.

god this book was absolute trash and i ate that shit UP

i read this book bc a booktoker said this book had the craziest plot twists and i was thinking, what kind of plot twists could a romance have that has it stacked up to verity? let's just the plot was def twisting, but it was LAUGHABLE just how ridiculous it was.

ok so spoilers:
i knew this was gonna take a turn for the ultra dramatic when ari got hit by the car, but never in my life did i expext ari to 1) be PREGNANT and lose the baby and 2) for her to have AMNESIA bgiuergnrenfow this book was ridiculous but i loved it. also i'm sure we all think chase is a snake for trying to take ari back after her slept with her and didn't want anything to do w/ her until she started falling for another guy. team noah. i love u noah.

anyway this book was way too long. 600+ pages? needed some editing for sure & i skimmed here n there but lol if u want a book to take u on a RIDE read this one.

2 stars, maybe 2.5.

this would've been an easy 3.5 star read for me if the third act breakup didn't include unknown pregnancy, accidental miscarriage, and amnesia. fuck off. this was such a fun read until that happened. the amnesia part alone could've been it's own separate book, but instead we're dealing with it in the last 25%? i just. UGH. i won't lie, i considered DNFing at 80% but just skimmed until the end.

Why did I not read this book sooner?

10/10 across the board. My sweet sweet Noah.

I felt so many emotions with this book, and I'm honestly sad it's over. I wish I had more.

The love these two have is so pure and so honest.

Noah just is the absolute best, and my heart breaks for him. The last 40% pop off, and it's a roller coaster of emotions.

The emotional roller coaster this book took me on... Wow. Best book boyfriend and worst all in the same book. I put this book off for months because I thought I wouldn't like the story line, but oh my goodness it has all the feels. Would recommend to a friend. College Romance. Beautiful story.
