This book is a very realistic portrayal of domestic violence and the reasons so many people stay with their abuser.

Vowed to read 1 CoHo book in ifs entirety to affirm the suspicion that it wasn't for me. Worst thing I've ever read. Predictable and problematic with an air of trying desperately to "educate" readers. Also the mc is a florist who is called lily bloom.... eye roll. Mentioning the ridiculousness of that name in the book doesn't make it less ridiculous that its in the book. Nah. Nope. Not for me. Do not get the hype at all.

The biggest content warning in this book belongs to the content it self. Just awful.

A very insightful perspective on learned helplessness and domestic violence victimization. Does not romanticize violence.

Enjoyed this book. The authors note at the end made me sad. But liked the characters. Was so conflicted reading this and still liking Ryle. 
But well written and good ending.
