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

4.0

I generally dont respect Colleen Hoover but this was actually quite good. Generally I think shes a better storyteller than she is a writer and having real people and events to base her character off of gave her writing a real boost. She is good at writing emotions which has probably done a lot to make her as big as she is. However, the Ellen plotline was quite silly and so was the concept of having a character called Lily Bloom who is a florist. And don´t even get me started on how much of a stupid name Ryke Meadows is. I also think its morally dubious that shes marketing this book to young teenagers but thats another conversation that has nothing to do with the quality of the book itself. But overall I did really enjoy it
