I had put off reading this book for a long time because I had heard very mixed reviews on tik tok - many loved it but many said it was over-hyped. I personally loved it and am sad I didn't read it sooner.

I really liked how the story line of domestic abuse broke up a typical romance book, it gave me a lot to think about throughout

. The main character Lily was very lovable and I ended up reading most of the book in one day! I would recommend this book to anyone about 16+ (it has some pretty adult themes throughout), it really made me more self-aware about these topics.

This was my introduction to Coleen Hoover and honestly I don’t know why she gets so much shit - I absolutely loved this. 

If I had to give an elevator pitch - I would say it was the story of a complicated relationship between the main character (a young woman with past trauma) and a neurosurgeon with emotional issues ; alongside uncovering the complicated story of the main character’s first love with a homeless boy. 

At the start, it definitely feels in points like ‘The Neurosurgeon Who Loved Me’ style romance/erotica. But I really feel as though this falls into a drama/romance/thriller category. 

I think one of the things I don’t love about straight romance/dramas is that they can be quite predictable, unrealistic and cheesy. Although there are small elements of that in here (especially the cheesiness), I actually think it’s very eye-opening and realistic. 

A common theme throughout is domestic violence and I personally feel like it does a great job at showing all the good, the bad and the ugly, fully encompassing the grey areas instead of seeing it in black and white. 

There were moments of this book I felt elated and good about life, and others quite the opposite. 

Would I recommend it? Yes - i don’t think it or Coleen deserve all the shit it book gets (and this is coming from someone going into it assuming I wasn’t going to enjoy it).
