This was the book that got me into reading. I couldn’t help but love the characters and left me feeling so emotionally torn. Mild spice 2/5 🌶️🌶️

The story involves love, loss, pain and new life. It shows the reality that many don't dare to read. I liked it because it is not an idealistic story, and it develops in a normal, real world. There are many moments of expectation, tension, and , of course, love in its most tender phase.

3.25 stars This book was the first book I have read voluntarily, and although it’s not my proudest confession… this book was good imo. I 100% agree that this shouldn’t be shelved as a romance but this book really made me see the world of an abusive marriage in a different way.

This is an emotional and powerful book on domestic violence. It made me feel all the emotions. All of them! Love, hate, anger, humor, sadness.... and some unnamed ones as well. This is a book that stays with you long after you finish reading it.

I went into it knowing nothing. Then read a little bit about it and was worried. Although the abuse is tough to read, I felt like the overall story was beautiful and the ending was great. I also like the author’s note about how she modeled this book after her mother’s own experience.
