When I first started reading this book, I couldn’t stop. My first impression was a good one, but as the book went on, I got a bit weirded out. I guess you could say the storyline is interesting, but I don’t understand why people like to romanticise this book. All of the main things that happened were definitely not okay. Obviously the plot between Atlas and Lily was cute, however he was 18 when he met Lily. She was 15 at the time. 

And he clearly knew that she was 15. I’m not saying he’s a pedo, but there was no need to make him 3 years older than her. Also, Ryle aggravating Lily wasn’t something that I expected.

 
Overall, the main story wasn’t that bad. I guess Colleen Hover wanted to give out an important message, about domestic violence, which is totally good. There are just some details that don’t sit right with me and, in my opinion, weren’t quite necessary.
