when i asked a bookstore employee their opinion on this author, they compared it to wattpad. not great, but enjoyable. 
there are times in reading this series where i hate how unrealistic the book feels. but. i also cried twice and finished it in 2 days. it’s a character driven story intended to educate on shitty parents and domestic abuse. it did it’s job. 
i will never be a CoHort (yes that’s what her fans are called) but i will never burn a book. it’s still art. it’s still a story someone put time into writing that i put time into reading, and for that entertainment, i am grateful.

This was a beautiful way to showcase Atlas and his POV. I loved seeing his letters to Lily after he read her journal. It allows you to see what he went through and is going through and what he wants with Lily.

2.5⭐️ I was expecting so much more. I also feel like this book could’ve been cut in half.
