Moderate: Emotional abuse and Abandonment

Minor: Adult/minor relationship and Mental illness

I put the adult/minor relationship tag because technically speaking there is a relationship between an 18 year old and a 15 year old. That said, the age gap is 2 and a half years and isn't too much cause for concern in my opinion.

I really enjoyed this book. As much as the reality of Lily’s situation hurt, I found the emotions she went through extremely moving.

Her story is one that I Ioved reading and understanding and the way it was written ensured I was always intrigued and wanting to read more.

I enjoyed learning about the past of the main character and how this has impacted her life today. The book still ended on an uplifting note despite the waves of struggle Lily went through, this was a nice touch.

I think the book is educational and important in order to share situations of domestic abuse, it definitely opened up my eyes to how confusing these situations can be.

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.
