(Contains spoilers I guess)
This book has left me completely taken away. It ends with us has shown a different side to abusive relationships. I’ve always said if this happened to me I would leave straight away and hope to god I do, but seeing Lilly in the situations and being manipulated and persuaded has really opened my eyes.

Colleen Hoover, you have my soul.
I was rooting for Ryle, I thought what happened in the past was in the past with Atlas. But you can see with my highlighting that Ryle’s parts were purple for all the nice cute moments, and then somewhere along the line everything and even the nice things he would say or do started to become green, which was for hurt. My heart hurts for Ryle whilst also hates him for hurting Lilly in the way her dad hurt her Mum. As much as this book had me destroyed I am happy with where Lilly ended up.

This book does leave me feeling like I haven’t finished it yet. As much as it was predictable it was easy to read. I found it absolutely hilarious and very flirty/ spicy. I really liked Lucy’s randomness plus it showed how comfortable she was around Josh which made me believe their love. But I also think it was stupid how she couldn’t see that Josh was just so obviously in love with her.

(Also, would love if they didn’t use the R slur)

!SPOILERS!

So much hurt and sadness from this book, it is beautifully written and really captures the attention of the reader to make us feel all the emotions. Patroclus was brave but blind. Achilles was determined but selfish. It saddens me when I think of Patroclus and how he truly would follow Achilles anywhere.. even into death. And Achilles for not putting away his pride in the moments that truly mattered. Regardless I love them and this book.
