had to see what all the drama was about! 

If you want to feel every emotion you could possibly feel, read this book. Colleen Hoover is brilliant, and I know from reading, this book was incredibly hard for her to write. I’m so thankful she did though. There were moments where I didn’t know if I could keep reading because this book took so much out of me. But when a book can do that, you know the author did something right.

It was so bad that I actually had to physically barf al over it

I am numb.
I was about half way through unsure where the two love arcs were going to go and then they ate lasagna. (For those who read it you understand). The whole time I read this book I had the song "Older by Sasha Sloan" playing in my head.

I have been guilty in the past of believing that if a woman wanted to leave an unhealthy relationship she could. Buts its not as simple. You cant just turn your feelings towards someone off.

I was a firm Atlas stan from the very beginning. His story touched me. I will never see Ellen or Dory the same way. They will forever be associated with him.

Lily is such a strong woman. She faced heavy battles that threatened to knock her down many times. Her grit is so admirable. I hope to be like her one day.

I sobbed at the ending. Lily and Ryle... i have no words. I cant process anything. I wish there was a way to erase the consequences in this book but life is messy. This book is messy and raw and just like real life.

In real life even the best people can end up breaking our hearts

"It ends with us."

I honestly really enjoyed this book. it left me with so many different emotions. if you are easily triggered by abuse and emotional distress than please read with caution. 

As a person with a scarred past I found it rather relatable, and loved the concept im sure was not easy to write. I did have to put it down a few times for my own personal health but I am so glad I read it, so far I have enjoyed this authors writing and may look into future books.

J’ai été très ému par ce livre parce qu’à la fin je me suis rendu compte à quel point je pouvais le retranscrire à ma propre vie. Les cycles de drames familiaux.
Je suis tombé pour Ryle en même temps que Lily et devoir réfléchir à tout ce que doit qu’une femme battue et amoureuse m’en a appris beaucoup sur moi même.
Je pense avoir grandis avec ce livre et j’ai appris beaucoup de chose sur moi même et sur la personne que je veux être.
