Nothing super exciting here. Didn’t love it or hate it. It’s kind of exactly how I expected it to go. My reviews still stand like my other Colleen Hoover reads that she tries far too hard to be “trendy” but ends up being extremely cringey. When Lily said  “I’m a boollenial,” I had to stop and take a breath and regroup before I continued 😩😩😩 Also, it’s giving slightly creepy / odd vibes that Atlas is THAT close w a 12 year old at his job that he tells him about his love life ? Maybe it’s just me, but where are the boundaries. I also wish and thought that Lily was going to take actually take Ryle to court? Guess not 🤨 that man got off far too easy. Overall, it’s just a 2 star for me. It was sweet at some parts and I enjoyed more of Atlas’s point of view.
