This book was literally everything I wanted to read and more. (Also I was coming into this book expecting this to be a "romance" as it is presented out to be). I think this might have been one of the best books I have ever read with such a strong, emotional, and important message. All I got to say is that there is reason that this book is so raved about and talked about on TikTok so much. I would say this book's importance is heavily effective for women and girls especially. I honestly would almost recommend this book to anyone as long as you have some tissues and you read the trigger warnings, if you can handle this then I would say just read the damn thing, you won't regret any of this book, not for one second!

If you read the book and the Author's note you know how heartbreaking this is, but how this is so important to not let anyone take advantage of you for any reason. I think this touched me a lot literally because of past experiences seeing how your mind can look at one person who goes through this and ask "Why don't they just leave?" While your still lying their confused of who this person is and what they stand for. But in that exact same breath you'll allow this for yourself. I think I felt a lot of what Lily felt with or for her mom as I did, honestly I was hoping things would change and they would become the bigger and stronger person, you know they can be but know nothing will be able to change the way they feel or will respond to the situations. I just hope Colleen Hoover knows how much this book impacted me and changed the way I view others or myself. This book also gave me hope within the Author's Note when she describes maintaining the good memories with her father while still understanding the abuse.

This was a challenging book to read, and not what I expected when I began. The description of abuse was hard to read. It dealt with very serious topics. The story of Atlas and Lily was beautiful and I’m glad they got together in the end.
