Cw: mentions of domestic abuse

When I first started reading this book, everyone told me it was a romance novel, and I assumed that was true. But it’s not really about the romance, it’s about the abuse. I think it’s important to know these types of stories, to know the complexities of what abuse can look like in relationships. And I understand this is different than a typical Colleen Hoover novel. For me though, I thought this book was mid. I’m usually into fantasy romance, so this genre doesn’t catch me like those do.

That being said, I kinda felt off about Ryle from the beginning of the book and I couldn’t put my finger on it and then when the casserole incident happened I was like “oooooooh that’s why I felt weird about him”

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I loved that book so much! It‘s very well written, funny, deep, hopeful and informative. So many ups and downs, a well balanced tension. „Where are all the people who wonder why the men are even abusive?“ this hit really hard bc still in these days so many victims, mostly women get blamed and it sucks! It shows how women get manipulated by there loved ones, which makes it so hard for them to break out of the devil’s circle but that doesn’t mean they’re weak!

I was so afraid that she would stay with him but finally she dumped this abusive asshole, holy moly was I relieved!

Thank you for writing about such important, cruel and sadly realistic things in life!

We all say "Do not Judge a book by its cover" but we all end up doing so...

For this book, it was not the cover but the social media hatred towards it. So, when I started reading the book I had it in my mind that it is going to be a 1 star read for sure but, now when I have finished it, It's not that bad tbh. Although there is not much star promotion (from 1 to 2) but still lol...

I liked Atlas and he may be the reason I'll read the sequel of the book :)
