BUT. (Vague spoilers to follow but not really)
This story was very important. As much as I didn’t love the way it was written; the content, and the way Lily approached her relationship, her emotions and her confusion were all important to read. Abusive relationships are so much more complicated and hard to escape from the inside than how they look from the outside. I appreciate that Colleen Hoover wrote this story (reading the authors note is a must) and that she showed the difficulty that can exist in cycle breaking. Is it that clear cut in real life? No. Could it have been better written? Yes. Should it have been better marketed? Absolutely yes - the cover and blurb are very misleading. But I got more out of it than I thought I would.
