4.5

This book makes you so mad, sad and happy at the same time. There was moments where I was on the verge of throwing the book across the room because I was so mad at the way this turned out but now when I’ve read it all I’m so happy. 

I hated Ryle so much so at one point I lost all my empathy for him. I could just read the diary entries as it’s own book because I loved Atlas so much

Although the book is kinda predictable like the

abusive husband

-trope but i liked it anyway. 
I’m so excited to read “It Starts With Us”. 
This book is a must read.

If you have ANY triggers, you should probably stay away from this book. The author really dumps them on, whether or not they add any value to the story. 

I really didn't like this book. It's written like a bad fanfiction (and I enjoy reading fanfiction). I didn't like any of the characters. Poor Lily suffered from the stupid female main character trope and the writing wasn't good enough to make her decisions believable. The timeline did make sense and the book ret conned itself a few times. Also I HATE HATE HATE "naked truths" like Ms. Hoover really thought she was doing something with that but it's so annoying. I didn't even actually find it emotional. Overall not a good read.

Not what I anticipated as a story. Hoover clearly put a lot of thought into this. Honestly rating 3 stars purely because of the names in the book.
