tbh i've only read this bc i hate to not read every book of a series. i actually lent this from my library bc i didn't want to give CoHo any more of my money lol.
i must say it wasn't as atrocious plot-wise and i felt like the whole domestic abuse topic was presented in a more reflective way. every time someone brought sth up, it was immediately put into context.
as CoHo said herself, there wasn't any continuation of the story planned and she only wrote this bc 'it ends with us' blew up on tiktok again and that's exactly how it comes across. the whole point is to have more atlas and lily content and that's what it is, not more but also not less.
it wasn't complex, it wasn't as dramatic as usual, there were a few funny moments followed up immediately by the most cringeworthy shit i've read in a while (but shouldn't surprise me with CoHo). the characters were flat as usual and generally i liked the idea of getting both lily's and atlas' point of view but i couldn't imagine i would agree with ryle one time bc when he called atlas pathetic or sth like that i felt that. i haven't read a character that's so much wrapped around their own hero complex and tbh besides that his only personality trait is that he loves lily. which is cute but like... you know. and that's not so say that they aren't cute together or that atlas' character is bad, it's just a lot and CoHo could've shortened it to a 10 page summary with maybe some key scenes and that would've done the job.
glad i didn't spent any money on this or her.
