While I appreciated this book because it no longer glorifies The abused. Anyone reading this book should be aware of the trigger warnings

Liked it because I liked it ends with us, and therefore I wanted to know how the story continues. Also I really like Atlas. 
But overall it was too cheesy for me, and too much of a happily ever after.
