This whole thing could be considered a spoiler.
A book that shows a story of domestic violence that really isn’t discussed. You can really understand how things begin and warning signs while also seeing the future of that relationship in Lily’s parents. The authors note made me tear up.
I wish Lily would’ve considered getting an abortion. She mentioned wanting kids in the future but never made it seem like being a mother was her life’s goal or anything she wanted in the semi-near future. She’s young, not religious, and pregnant with a man who has physically harmed her. I just wish abortion was an option. But I suppose without the baby as a plot device her decision about her marriage would’ve been different.
