Rape and abuse was the theme of this book. Well written but very hard to read if you have known similar circumstances.roke's review against another edition

I absolutely loved this book.
If you have experienced domestic abuse this book really shows how hard it can be to leave someone even if they do truly horrific things. I resonated with Lilly’s character so much and I felt the heartbreak she felt so clearly.
I also loved the way it was written - I enjoyed how the story developed and the diary extracts throughout. Atlas’ story was equally heartbreaking and in a way I wish I could of read more about him - maybe that’s what the sequel to this book is about?
Initially I was going to rate this a 4.5 as some of the writing was poor and I found myself getting frustrated with how forgiving Lily was, but this just shows what it’s like looking in from the outside at an abusive relationship. The way the book ended made it 5 stars.
I’m kind of at a loss for words in terms of how much I loved this book and I can’t really review it with words that give it justice.
Highly highly highly recommend reading.
