Ryle begging for sex after lily repeatedly said no gave me the major ick and I could not move past it.

9/10 - obviously this book was fantastic, #booktok would tell you that, but I wish more people would have talked about the trigger warning of the abusive relationship because oof that was hard to read at times, still a great book, but it stucks because I’m definitely Team Ryle which just sucks for me, but also LOVE Atlas, nothing wrong with him, but #teamryle because I SUCK; minor spoiler alert, but I did like how Colleen Hoover wrote this book in a way that explained why abusive relationships happen and how easy it is to go back to them, and the cycle continues, it was just a very interesting very point, go Colleen Hoover for that

OMG!!! This was the first Colleen Hoover book I read and I loved it! This was so good!
Instantly the book made me fall in love with the characters! Lily has been through so much in her life but wanted a fresh start in a new place. When Lily meets Ryle, I instantly love his dark and moody temperament! He was mysterious but sexy and left you wanting more. Even though Ryle didn't do relationships, he instantly wants Lily and it was almost as though fate kept putting them together at first. Then the true colors come out of Ryle and the nightmare begins! I was so devastated as I loved Ryle and then in a moments time, I hated him and wanted Lily to run away as far as possible!
Then there is Atlas, the homeless boy Lily would help and bonded with. Atlas was her everything but he knew he needed to be better to be with Lily and support her. Well he really made himself into something that she would be proud of! To Atlas, he only and always saw Lily! Totally swooning over here!
The ending totally left me wanting to find out what happens between Lily and Atlas! I cannot wait for It Starts with Us! I really don't know how any of her other books can top this one!
