I know there are many who didn't like this book but I absolutely liked it! I don't know why though, but it was like I was inside this world and watching everything from my own eyes, I felt it was a great story, and I don't know what lies in the second book but I wish

Lily ends up with Atlas as his husband. Ryle is loveable but abusive too, I know he loves Lily and Emma so much and it's a mental disorder that he becomes abusive and that's why Lily had to leave him but I believe Atlas is a better husband for Lily.

Now let's see what happens in the second book

THIS BOOK IS CAMP!!! 1🌸

I feel bad for hating/ridiculing this book b/c the content is heavy and the Note from the author is genuinely moving…but:

• the protagonist is a florist
• the onesie party
• THE ELLEN DEGENERES DIARIES 😭

Would it kill Colleen Hoover to give a character a normal name?

• lily blooming bloom
• Ryle Kincaid 
• Atlas corrigan 
• Dory!?

Okay. Since we’re on the subject… the first guy I ever had sex with was homeless.

Ellen, I am confident that the next sentence I am about to write has never been written or spoken aloud before.

When he was wiping that cow shit on me, it was quite possibly the most turned-on I have ever been.

Now go get my baby and take her away from here so I can have some sex with my filthy rich husband.

TLDR: my Colleen Hoover curiosity ends with this book.

emotional sad

4.0

Idk what to say that hasn’t been said. I didn’t feel a strong connection to most of the characters, however the story itself kept me intrigued. As heartbreaking as it is to say, the plot felt realistic. Im not sure about my feelings beyond knowing that it taught me a lot..? As Lily mentions it is easy to say things when you’re outside of the situation, and reading this really forced me to put myself in those shoes. It was a rollercoaster in the worst way. 

I 1000% recommend reading the Authors note at the end when you finish as well. I think that made me cry the hardest.
