I know the book wants the reader to heavily root for Lily and Atlas, but Atlas is an actual groomer? I culdn't quite get past that, he is a creepy older boy who took advantage of a child. Again, he was desperate and homeless, but even with the uncle story, he went ahead and took advantage of a child.
Lily has no friends, no support system, nothing, she has to go to her groomer in her time of need. I can understand an immigrant or a victim of human traffikking having this issue, but she is a young beautiful woman with a realtively affluent family and some university education.
The whole flower business is very unrealistic.
Why is Ryle a sociopath? There is no build up, the man goes from Dr. Jeykill to Mr. Hyde in no time. There is no siubstance abuse, physical abuse among peers or latent mental illness, he is just cruel for the sake of being cruel. That doesn't seem realistic to me, but what do I know.
The time jumps are very blunt, I don't think there is enough developement for them, to be honest.
I get why this book is dicotomic, I get why it it loved and loathed, in similar degrees. my best friend loves this book, I just found it mid tier, it is not good, nor it is especially bad, it is just middle of the read for me. I would not recommend it to someone who has a similar taste as me, but I won't actively disscourage someone reading it or anjoying it.

Lily ends up with Atlas as his husband. Ryle is loveable but abusive too, I know he loves Lily and Emma so much and it's a mental disorder that he becomes abusive and that's why Lily had to leave him but I believe Atlas is a better husband for Lily.
Now let's see what happens in the second book
