Grappled with the difficult reality of domestic abuse. Loved how the author wrote Lily through and out of her circumstances.
The characters were written well enough that I didn’t want them to have bad intentions but loved the resolutions.

First time I ever read a romance novel, I’m here because I heard some people complaining that it romanticises domestic violence.

I mostly disagree, I think the author did a great job at showing the whole

“I’m sorry, forgive me” thing

and I was moved at the end when I found out that the story is inspired by her parents’. Only thing is that

Ryle should not be depicted as someone who is just acting because of his trauma and has no control over it. He is an abuser and he should not be left alone with their child.

We need to talk about this sad issue so that we raise awareness, we help people understand that people that stay with violent partners are not weak and there’s so much more at play. Hopefully someone in a similar situation will read the book or see the movie and it will help them leave!

Also, I was quite curious to know what was happening next, I couldn’t put it down!

Couldn’t put this book down i absolutely loved it. It was written so well that i was feeling what the character was feeling about her situation. I felt the war between the head and the heart.

At first, when I finished reading the book, I loved it. However, the more I thought about the book and the themes within, it was a little unsettling. Please read any TWs before reading. It does have a few redeeming qualities, but it was not for me.

Lily's dad just past away and she can't think of a single thing to say about him. He was abusive to her mother and Lily hated him. As soon as Lily finished school she fled to Boston. She chose Boston for a reason. Deep down she was trying to find someone.

When Lily meets Ryle she thinks this could be it. She loves him, he loves her. The only problem is that she still feels for Atlas, the only person that truly knew her. When she randomly bumps into him the memories flood in, but she knows that she can be happy with Ryle.

Cracks show up immediately, but she forgives him. As things escalate Lily isn't sure if she can leave the way she always thought her mom should.

I am not sure if you are supposed to feel anything for Ryle, but I felt disgust. He really didn't have any redeeming qualities in my eyes. Sure he is a neurosurgeon, but that's just a career. Atlas on the other hand was amazing from the beginning.

The only loveable character in this book was Atlas. Everyone sucks, Ryle is a walking red flag since chapter 1. The author tried her best to make him likeable, but nope. Everything was so convenient as well. Like she immediately got her flowershop, met Ryle's sister and so on. Maybe Coleen did that so she could focus on the "domestic abuse" as the main conflict of the story. Idk, the ending is also so predictable.
