If i could rate this book 0 stars I would but here we are with 1. It was so much longer than it should and so cringe that I literally wanted to stop reading it but i pushed through just so I could have a full image of their relationship in order to now what I'm talking about and why I hate the characters.

I was quite apprehensive for this book. I think I found it a little boring, especially compared to It Ends With Us, but that’s not a bad thing in the context on Lily’s story. She deserves to feel safe, secure, loved and drama free. Initially I was a little annoyed that the ending was wrapped up in a bow, but honestly, I think it was the perfect way to end Lily’s story. She has already been through so much, and finding love with Atlas and being happy and having things calmer with Ryle was exactly what I wanted for her. Her story really touched me as a survivor of domestic abuse and her strength will be in the back of my mind for a long time!! I do feel the book was quite rushed and wasn’t developed as well as it could have been though.
