The Voss family is anything but normal. They live in a repurposed church, newly baptized Dollar Voss. The once cancer-stricken mother lives in the basement, the father is married to the mother’s former nurse, the little half-brother isn’t allowed to do or eat anything fun, and the eldest siblings are irritatingly perfect. Then, there’s Merit.


Merit Voss collects trophies she hasn’t earned and secrets her family forces her to keep. While browsing the local antiques shop for her next trophy, she finds Sagan. His wit and unapologetic idealism disarm and spark renewed life into her—until she discovers that he’s completely unavailable. Merit retreats deeper into herself, watching her family from the sidelines, when she learns a secret that no trophy in the world can fix.

Fed up with the lies, Merit decides to shatter the happy family illusion that she’s never been a part of before leaving them behind for good. When her escape plan fails, Merit is forced to deal with the staggering consequences of telling the truth and losing the one boy she loves.

Poignant and powerful, WITHOUT MERIT explores the layers of lies that tie a family together and the power of love.


I really liked this story. The flow is like no other - one that only Colleen Hoover can provide. And yet I want more to this story.

Merit is sick of it all and writes a letter about her family. A family that she thinks is crazy and disturbing. She is tired of holding in all these truths that have becomes lies of omission. What she doesn't realize is that when she reveals all those truths, everything is out in the open.

All those truths that have splintered Merit has left her open and vulnerable.

A beautiful story written, where you can't put down the damn book (how I feel about every Co-Ho book). But this was more. An inside depth of human frailties and forgiveness.

Please, for the love of God, give me a book two. I need so much more.

Well I am ashamed at saying this but its been a while since I have read a COHO book .. I know complete blasphemy on my part right! Well I am glad that I read this book as it was like a bright shining star into the mind of Mrs COHO. I would give this book a 4 stars and highly recommend to others. 

This was a quirky read but I really did enjoy the whole story.. its quite different then what I would normally read but I knew I wouldn't be disappointed because HELLO CoHo wrote it! Not only that I liked that it was different and I actually had fun reading about Merit and Sagan and there journey they experience together.. and lets not forget all the side characters because there were awesome as well! 

I will not divulge much on the story as you can read a book blurb just like I can... so no spoilers here.. sorry not sorry.. just know you need to pick up this book and dive right in!

My only hope for this book is that maybe??? Merit and Sagan have more to say?? I will be sitting her wishful thinking and wanting more! One Click Now!
