Gift as part of Bookmas. Colleen Hoover is all the rage right now (#thxBookTok) and everyone loves her. This book was whatever, at best. I am not the target audience. I don't like dramatic replays of people being dumb in their personal lives, and I don't like dysfunctional families as entertainment. 

Lady meets man on roof -

he is beating up a lawn chair before he realizes he has an audience. He later proves to be a creep, harasses her, and literally begs for sex multiple times until she eventually agrees. She came from an abusive family, slept with an 18 year old the day she turned 16, and her dad beat him to a pulp. This new man love bombs, they elope, he's abusive. She stays three (3) times and gets pregnant, then decides to leave. Also, 2nd time he hurts her, she finds out he killed his brother when he was 5. Says he blacks out now.

Disgusting. Reasonably well-written. Not my type of entertainment. Also, her name is Lilly Blossom Bloom, and she opens a flower store for people who don't like flowers. Ugh.

Como punto a favor debo decir que me ha parecido una lectura bastante rápida de acabar y sencilla de entender, pero no entiendo todo el amor y la fama que tiene este libro.
En mi opinión es una historia que solo se mantiene a sí misma por el tema que trata, que si que me parece que está bastante bien llevado desde el punto de vista de las mujeres que sufren violencia de género y que hace llegar bien al lector la dificultad de salir de una relación de este tipo una vez que ya estás dentro, cuando desde fuera podría parecer tan sencillo. Sin embargo, quitando esto no me parece que la historia tenga ningún tipo de sustancia. 

Para empezar, los personajes me parecen muy planos y básicos, incluso Atlas (que es mi favorito) me parece totalmente innecesario tal y como ha avanzado la historia y no he llegado a sentir ningún tipo de conexión con ninguno de ellos. Aparte, las relaciones que tiene Lily con los demás personajes son por la carísima, como por ejemplo

cuando decide que Allysa es su mejor amiga justo nada más entrar en la tienda o su enamoramiento con Ryle, del que no vemos ningún tipo de señal de que la relación se desarrolla más que de repente una obsesión completa entre los dos

.
Por otro lado se veía la toxicidad en Ryle desde el principio y casi estuve a punto de DNF el libro cuando empiezan a conocerse

y Ryle se pasa el día persiguiéndola para pedirle que follen

Y la escritura en sí me ha parecido muy básica, cosa buena porque eso permite que sea una lectura muy llevadera, pero que tratando de un tema tan importante como la violencia domestica creo que deja la sensación de que le quita importancia. Además de haber bastantes momentos y frases que personalmente me han dado mucho cringe.

En definitiva no diría que no lo recomiendo, pero considero que debe haber libros que traten este tema mucho mejor.
