dnic 's review for:
Too Late: Definitive Edition
by Colleen Hoover
“It’s too late to kill me, Asa. You Killed me a long time ago”
I started this book with some bias after reading that CoHo never originally intended to publish it. She mentioned that this was a story she never meant for anyone to read, almost as if she were apologizing in advance.
Because of that, I wasn’t particularly excited to dive into it and initially struggled to enjoy it. However, by the end, it truly touched my heart.
Asa was a deeply damaged child, highly intelligent yet desperate for love and care. He grew up in a home filled with violence, with a schizophrenic, addicted, and abusive father and a mother battling depression.
He never truly felt loved and endured countless traumatic experiences, including witnessing his father kills his mother.
“The world doesn’t owe us a thing. We take what we’re given and make the most of it.”
I would have rated it five stars, but several things were left unresolved, leaving me craving more closure:
Sloan: What happened to the recipe book, her career, and her brother?
The friends: What about Anthony, Kevin, and Jon? Were they never sent to prison?
Besides others…
