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

I had put off reading this book for a long time because I had heard very mixed reviews on tik tok - many loved it but many said it was over-hyped. I personally loved it and am sad I didn't read it sooner.

I really liked how the story line of domestic abuse broke up a typical romance book, it gave me a lot to think about throughout

. The main character Lily was very lovable and I ended up reading most of the book in one day! I would recommend this book to anyone about 16+ (it has some pretty adult themes throughout), it really made me more self-aware about these topics.
