November 9 Overview

Romance meets psychological thriller in the novel November 9 by Colleen Hoover. Fallon O’Neil is shocked when a man claiming to be her boyfriend suddenly sits down with her and her father, Donovan O’Neil, during an argument in a restaurant. The man, Benton “Ben” James Kessler, defends Fallon and her decision to move to New York City initiating a real relationship between the two. As their unusual relationship progresses, Fallon wonders if Ben is really the man of her dreams or if he is only using her as the plot line for his novel. Hoover uses books and writing as a motif in November 9 to explore the impact of tragedy, selfless love, parent/child relationships, and the shallowness of judging by physical appearance.
