A very insightful perspective on learned helplessness and domestic violence victimization. Does not romanticize violence.

Enjoyed this book. The authors note at the end made me sad. But liked the characters. Was so conflicted reading this and still liking Ryle. 
But well written and good ending.

This book was complicated for me. It did a great job of getting you to love the characters and in the very smallest way, understand what someone might go through

when they face physical abuse

.

I was uncomfortable with the book but also couldn't put it down.

I can't believe I read another CoHo book after swearing off her years ago... I got curious, okay? And it was *gasp* pretty good? Better than her other books at any rate.

Wow! I’m really surprised how much I loved this book. I like romance books, but I don’t love when they are super lovey dovey, but I loved that there was so much more to this story than just a happy love story.

As much as I wanted to root for Ryle, I couldn’t because I felt for Lily and wanted her to protect herself. I love that this story talked about how it’s much harder to leave someone that it seems, and talking about domestic abuse is something that can’t ever be talked about too much. I also liked how Lily didn’t immediately choose Atlas and start dating Atlas after he helped her.

  I felt emotions for all characters in this book, and everyone deserves to have a friend like Allysa. Such a great book!
