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

look CoHo gets a lot of hate but from my perspective i see this as a way to show that you can get through abuse. it shows how love will make you do anything but that there’s people out there who are there. it can be comforting but also heart wrenching.

This book is a very realistic portrayal of domestic violence and the reasons so many people stay with their abuser.

It was very interesting and a great quick read. I read it in one sitting in about 3.5 to 4 hours. Enjoyable!
