A patient of mine recommended this book to me when I got back into reading and I cant say enough good things. The chokehold this story line and the characters had on me was insane.  You'll absolutely fall in love with each and every person in this book. It's romantic, captivating, and sad. If you're looking for something to reignite a reading fire under you I can't recommend this book enough.

The fact that this book is so popular just really bums me out.

Listen I know this is a stupid thing to get caught up on. But the book lost me on page 1 when the character feels like hanging out on a rooftop, uses Google Earth to look for nearby apartment buildings with rooftops, and then just like, goes to one and somehow gets onto the roof. Later we learn it’s a luxury building full of rich people penthouses. Do they not lock the building????? Is there no doorman wondering why a sketchy 23 year old is lurking around???? My immediate impression was, “ok so this author has never lived in or been to an apartment building.” 

Also the fact that the character is named Lily Blossom Bloom and she owns a flower shop at age 23. And the creepy love interest is a med school student yet calls himself Dr. Kincaid and somehow is fabulously wealthy and can buy a 3 bedroom apartment ?? TMI but once I went on a date with a med school student and he used Kleenex as napkins and had almost no furniture in his rented studio apartment. So now we know the author has no concept of money or med school either.

Don’t even get me started on the teenage diary entries written as letters to Ellen Degeneres that take up half the book. Or the fact that in the diaries Lily Blossom Bloom recounts entire conversations in quotes. Oh and of course the other character names are Atlas, Ryle, Allysa, Rylee and Emmy Dori because the author apparently hasn’t met normal humans with normal names either. 

This is the first and only Colleen Hoover book I’ll ever read!

Colleen does a good job of expressing the emotions and conflicting thoughts in the presence of abuse and growing through the trauma but I could not keep reading it. The character Ryle from the get-go made me feel uneasy. Didn’t like how in the beginning he would just pop in and out of the picture. Further reading made me dislike him even more. Couldn’t stomach the apologies and abuse.
