A quick read - tragic in parts, very cringey in others. Dark themes and not exactly a literary masterpiece, but it kept me hooked enough to continue reading the series.

This book made me realize things in my life that I knew deep down I just didn't want to admit or be true. It helped me realize it's not all that bad though. It gave me hope.

Listen. I read the reviews before reading this. I read 80 pages the first night, and read the rest today.

There are time jumps that could seem annoying to most, but in my opinion I found it helped the story. I had an inkling about a few things, but was still surprised at all of the twists!

I’m giving it a 4/5 as in my opinion, there should definitely be trigger warnings in the beginning of the book — but overall I really enjoyed it!!!

The book started off really slow. I can't even tell you how many times I almost DNF'd this book. The chapters were just boring in the beginning, but Colleen Hoover is definitely the queen of plot twists because every time I wanted to shut the book out if frustration, she came up with something that kept me wanting to read. I do think that this book is necessary, it sends out the right message for girls who might have gone through something extremely traumatic like Sky went through, I honestly expected this book to be a romance and let me tell you. The romance in the way that I usually read is not up there but it still is a good book, well written, just very slow, slow in the same way It Starts With Us is.
