The story was pretty awful and made me sad and angry. Lily is so stupid of staying with Ryle for so long. I knew that she would end up with Atlas instead. He is the better choice. And Ryle’s excuse for hitting her was full of shit.

As someone who is young (18) and inexperienced with relationships, I am so glad I read this! I've always told myself I would never let myself stay in an abusive relationship but this book had me wanting to give second chances! It put me right in that mindset and made me understand how easy it is to get caught in an abusive pattern. This book was so much more than a simple romance, and it was written so well! 5 stars read!
I’m not sure how I feel about this book. It was very readable, but the presentation of the abusive relationship at the centre of the story isn’t sitting well with me. It may present what the author thinks to be a real and raw description of the complexities of emotions in an abusive relationship, but I’m not sure we need a story that glamorizes the abuser. I’m not sure this book does that, but I am left unsettled.

This book. This book. It was so emotional. Like. An emotional rollercoaster?? The domestic abuse education and the talk about the struggle mentally between love and pain. With no love, there’d be no pain- god. Ahhh. Read it read it read-

fast-paced
Obsessed. Everything I needed to get back into reading.
