#audiokniha - Vůbec nevím, jaký na to mám názor. Na jednu stranu je dobře, že kniha vyšla, že poukazuje na vážná témata. Na druhou stranu, přijde mi divné, jakým stylem je kniha prezentována - romantizuje tady domácí násilí, ta květinová obálka ... mně knihy obsahující násilí nevadí. tu běžně eroťárny, a dark knihy, ale jsou tak označené. Nejsou prezentované jako romantické knihy.

Jako, jo, je to psané čtivým stylem, ale oba hlavní hrdinové byli nesympatičtí. Strašně mě štvala Lily, když viděla, co se dělo její mámě, a pak si nechala ubližovat stejně. Štval mě Ryle, že byl schopnej zmlátit svojí manželku kvůli pitomý magnetce na lednici, a článku v novinách. Naprostý psychopat. Co mně ale zarazilo nejvíc, bylo to, že Rylova sestra věděla o jeho výbušné povaze ... a přesto s tím nic nedělala. Nesnažila se svému bratrovi pomoct. Doporučit mu navštívit psychologa ... sakra, jeho vlastní otec je psychiatr!

Vůbec netuším, zda se budu pouštět do druhýho dílu. Možná časem. Teď určitě ne.

Re-read to see if the film did it any justice - it didn't! There are a few scenes that I prefer from the film, and that they ages them up, but book Lily is way better and also doesn't seem to have terrible fashion sense

theemilyann's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

This book could not be dumber. I feel like I can comprehend less in the world after reading some of this book. 

It’s a little weird reading this for the first time after all of the movie controversy, but here we are. Lily meets Ryle, a sexy and angry man, on a rooftop. They agree that they want different things, but as time goes on, they find themselves meeting once again. This story explores the generational effects of abusive relationships and the complexities that come along with it.

I liked it, but didn’t love it. I had to skip around the sex scenes for my own preferences. I don’t think I understand the Colleen Hoover obsession, but I’m willing to read a few more of her books before fully deciding.
