CRYING SCREAMING THROWING UP.
IM SO OBSESSED WITH LILO

First: I'm not a fan of #Raisy and I'm gonna die on this hill, regardless of backlash. He knew her when she was 16 and idc if it was gradual and it didn't happen from the beginning. He literally admitted he liked her when she was underage. That's yucky and he's yucky. I'm not gonna take a star off my rating but I do NOT like them together. Also they're literally gonna be related bc of Lily & Loren??? 

I legit devoured this book. In the last 2 days I read the majority of it. I'm not exaggerating either. I loved the character development of Lily and Loren. They grow so much. There are slip ups along the way, but that's a reality for pretty much the majority of addicts --
relapses happen. It isn't a testament that strength is failing. Coming back from it and learning, doing better, is strength on its own.The way it was handled was tasteful, and the support system LiLo has is forgiving. I'm not going to say which person did it, or when in the book it happens, but it will absolutely shatter your heart, along with something else towards the end. Do what you will with that information. </Spoiler>
