samperri 's review for:
Too Late: Definitive Edition
by Colleen Hoover
Easy to read and I liked each chapter being written from a different point of view at first.
Over the course of the book I found it really difficult to read Asa’s chapters specifically, and to just come to terms with his portrayal. You are encouraged to hate Asa, to want him exiled, to want him just out of the picture because he was so mentally ill and it manifested in tragic ways. You could pinpoint the traumatic origins of his behaviors, yet he was still even more sinister. I wish the author didn’t villainize mental illness like that.
I also didn’t love how the legal system was portrayed. Nothing highlighting how Asa ended up dead because he was let down by the system. Instead of receiving treatment and support, he was pushed through the process with a lawyer who brushed off obviously incompetent manifestations. He never was given a chance ever.
