1.0

THIS BOOK IS CAMP!!! 1🌸

I feel bad for hating/ridiculing this book b/c the content is heavy and the Note from the author is genuinely moving…but:

• the protagonist is a florist
• the onesie party
• THE ELLEN DEGENERES DIARIES 😭

Would it kill Colleen Hoover to give a character a normal name?

• lily blooming bloom
• Ryle Kincaid 
• Atlas corrigan 
• Dory!?

Okay. Since we’re on the subject… the first guy I ever had sex with was homeless.

Ellen, I am confident that the next sentence I am about to write has never been written or spoken aloud before.

When he was wiping that cow shit on me, it was quite possibly the most turned-on I have ever been.

Now go get my baby and take her away from here so I can have some sex with my filthy rich husband.

TLDR: my Colleen Hoover curiosity ends with this book.

I loved the book, it was emotional and upsetting but also keeps you craving for what happens next. The ending was very loveable and I enjoyed this as my first read.

Such a lovely heartfelt book with so many different emotions as the story went on. A lot of up and downs. Some things were hard to read but overall I felt like there was such a strong message to the ending of the story. I really enjoyed reading about Lily as a character and her character development. Lily was so humble and caring and I didn’t want her to change.
