This wasn’t a great read, but I do appreciate the message and the way in which Hoover’s personal experience with her own parents dictated the scenes and plot lines that she so desperately wanted to remove from the story as she fell in love with her own characters. I think this is a relatable and insightful read for anyone who has experienced domestic abuse or has relationships with people who have.

It's a very good book that reads like a YA while dealing with quite some heavy stuff.
I went into it knowing nothing and kind of predicted quite a bit of the storyline, but liked the tenaciousness of the main character. 
It is simply written, has some good and witty dialogue but gut punches you a few times.
 Check the trigger warnings!!

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
