I loved the book, it was emotional and upsetting but also keeps you craving for what happens next. The ending was very loveable and I enjoyed this as my first read.

This book was... difficult to stomach as a result of the heavy topics of this book. The main being domestic abuse. That being said, it passes on a great lesson about why people stay in said situations, and really allows the general public to be more educated on this topic, which is a necessity in the world we live in. This book isn't for everyone, I hope you all can understand that.

Decided to read to form my own opinion on the book and I liked it a lot more than I thought! I will say it reads like a Wattpad book at times so be aware of that. Plus it can be tough to read some parts in my opinion.

2.5

The first half of the book reads as an average YA fiction book, with the female protagonist lamenting her past and who is now being swept off her feet by the quintessential cool, suave asshole. Besides that, certain life events which happen to Lily feel a little too optimistic or unrealistic

(like the immediate success of her business, which she could afford to start, the fact Alyssa decided to walk in and employ herself while also happening to be Ryle's sister, and the fact that Atlas has become a successful restaurant chef and business owner).

But by the second half of the book, the portrayal of the domestic abuse scenes gain greater severity, and showcases the flawed thinking Lily had held towards domestic abuse. Yet, it also shows a flawed portrayal of domestic abuse, and flawed reasoning behind causes and effects of domestic abuse

(people don't often stay in domestic relationships because they love their partner too much)

. I find the relationship between Lily and Atlas to be the best part of the book (although sometimes cheesy and YA-like).

This book was not bad , but it was short of the spectacle as praised by BookTok. The language felt flat, the tone immature, and it's themes underdeveloped. Also, there are wayyyy too many mentions of sex. But it was still semi-enjoyable to read.
