I’m convinced Colleen Hoover puts crack in her books. I devoured this book in 48hrs and it absolutely wrecked me every step of the way. Her storytelling is absolutely unmatched. You find yourself forgetting you’re even reading. Colleen managed to take a heartbreaking reality and make it into something absolutely beautiful and riveting. Best book I’ve read this year so far.

I finished this in one day, even though it was quite a heavy read (just stayed up until 2 am ).
The characters were very loveable < Ryle too loveable even> and you could really understand Lily’s mindset and why she made the decisions she did.
That made it even more heartbreaking.
<I wish we’d gotten more of Lily and Atlas’ happy ever after though, and to see the dynamic with Atlas having to tolerate Ryle in Lily’s life>
Overall, a good, heartbreaking and beautiful book :)
