Not usually a fan of Colleen Hoover books but this one I enjoyed. Except for Ellen. You know who you are Ellen.

I don’t know what I expected from this? I guess I just wanted to see what the hype was. and yeah, it has a poorly written, immature, repetitive, cornball essence that mimics fanfiction. I did appreciate the fast pace, and the character Atlas. but that’s it. don’t even get me started on the

pregnancy trope

jesus. let’s make a bad situation worse shall we?

I went into this having some, not very good, preconceptions about Colleen. I've seen as much hate as love online about this author, so I hate to say I believed blindly her writing would suck. I was very pleasantly surprised by this. The writing itself was choppy and very cringe for the first 20% or so, but it found its rhythm and became gripping and sensitive. I also expected this to be extremely smutty, mostly due to booktok, but coming into this after an Elsie Silver book, the sex was much more tolerable. I don't love a sex scene in a book still, but did find I enjoyed parts of these.

I loved many characters, Atlas, Lily and Alyssa and loved and hated Ryle in equal parts. I think the ending was perfect for these characters

All in all, I'd read more Colleen Hoover in the future. This one may be worth the hype
