My controversial opinion is that I loved this book. Yes, there were cheesy moments and some bad writing, but overall I think the way the author walks the reader through the mindset of cyclical abuse is SO well done. So many times did I find myself wanting to yell “LEAVE HIM!” And so many times did I find myself believing all the excuses alongside Lily. It’s so easy to say, “well if I were in her position…” but you don’t truly understand until you ARE in that position. I hope this novel creates an avenue for more empathy toward abuse survivors.
