Wow! I’m really surprised how much I loved this book. I like romance books, but I don’t love when they are super lovey dovey, but I loved that there was so much more to this story than just a happy love story.

As much as I wanted to root for Ryle, I couldn’t because I felt for Lily and wanted her to protect herself. I love that this story talked about how it’s much harder to leave someone that it seems, and talking about domestic abuse is something that can’t ever be talked about too much. I also liked how Lily didn’t immediately choose Atlas and start dating Atlas after he helped her.

  I felt emotions for all characters in this book, and everyone deserves to have a friend like Allysa. Such a great book!

I started reading this because a friend recommended it, I couldn't finish it. I didn't like the way it was written and I had to force myself to read it.
I tried again and still hated it just because of how it was written. I also had to put it down so many times because it was just too much.

"Cycles exist because they are excruciating to break. It takes an astronomical amount of pain and courage to disrupt a familiar pattern."

My first CoHo book and it was a DOOZY, but I loved it! My family has a history of domestic violence survival and this book felt like a celebration to other survivors and their loved ones. The amount of strength Lily and others like her must find within themselves is awe-inspiring.

Hoover wrote a raw, grounded and realistic portrayal of an all-too-common situation. Watching Lily’s personal growth, especially when she is in conflict with herself, and wracking with the morally grey areas life forces us to face, are two elements which make this story uniquely captivating. This book is guaranteed to stay with you. This book was emotional, empowering, devastating, and left me conflicted at times. But all of these things are what make life beautiful. Without the tough times, the great ones are a little less shiny. I can't wait for the movie adaptation of this book!

When I tell you, this book grabbed hold of me and didn’t let go, I MEAN it! This is not some lovey-dovey romance book where they run off into the sunset together and live happily ever after. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pick it up! Instead, this is a grounded, authentic story which brings new meaning to the phrase “every rose has its thorns.” 

"15 seconds. That's all it takes to completely change everything about a person. 15 seconds that we'll never get back."

I just couldn't stop listening to this one. I finished this one in a day. I stayed up past my bedtime to finish it. I already have the next book in the series and plan to binge it soon. Maybe even tomorrow. It was so good but devastating at the same time. This one made me feel everything and, at some points through out, all at once.
