Can someone please get me a real life Atlas. 
This book was everything I personally expected. I loved how Lily grew as a character and how she overcame her fears and how she finally got her happy ending. Lily's character just showed us how difficult it is to go through an abusive relationship, leave an abusive relationship and deal with the aftermath especially if there's a child involved. Atlas was so supportive of Lily and I think he's the ideal book boyfriend. Ryle is such an assh*le!! I hate him so much, I've never liked him and I never will. The way he blamed people for his actions was absolutely mind boggling. 
The book was such a good way to end off the "series" because we got to see more of Atlas and what he went through, through his eyes. It starts with us was great in many aspects but I do however wish we got to see more interactions between Atlas and Emerson, I think that would've been such a wonderful plot point. 
I would definitely recommend this book and these characters will forever hold a special place in my heart 💓.

Est-ce que cette suite était nécessaire? Non. Par contre, j'ai adoré me replonger dans le monde d'Atlas et de Lily. Un roman légèrement plus léger que le premier tome mais qui explore les retombées d'une ancienne relation abusive. J'ai particulièrement aimé qu'on en apprenne davantage sur Atlas et sa famille. Et en bonus :
le roman se termine sur une note positive quoi demander de plus
