me to this book: “listen, it’s not you, it’s me” 

while i applaud colleen for tackling a heavy topic such as domestic abuse, i couldn’t help but feel like there was something wrong with this book. 

for lack of better words, here is a list of emotions/thoughts that went through my head while reading: 
cringy 
absurd 
oversimplified 
ick
corny 

the book wasn’t bad, i just think the writing for such a dark topic was too amateur. i love a nuanced, lyrical type of emotional and this was more of a straightforward story.

I physically could not put this book down. This book got me back into reading, when I say I have not read a book consistently before this I mean it. The characters in this book are so lovable and I’ve never read a book with a love triangle like this before where there is not a clear winner for so long. There is not one I like more for this long of the book obviously at one point you choose a team but I was so torn for almost the entire book. it’s impossible to not fall in love with these characters. while reading this I felt love I was happy, sad. I was sympathetic for these characters I just wanted to hug these people. I have recommended this book to everyone I know that has been interested in reading end it won’t let you down by the end of this I was sobbing and ugly tears. 
UPDATED REVIEW 
okay so I just re read this and I came into it with a different perspective. I didn’t read this wanted a romance book I knew that wasn’t the point of this book. I read it with breaking cycles, new beginnings, cutting ties, and growth this time. Those were my intentions going into it the second time and it really did change it. This isn’t a book about who will she end up with it’s about Lily, not the love interest.
