aleroness's review against another edition

Definitely not the kind of book you should pick up without reading the jacket first, like I made the mistake of doing.

A heavy and infuriating and brutally honest and uplifting and confusing book tbh. One of those books where's there's no dichotomy of right and wrong (with some obvi exceptions). Everyone who knows someone who has experienced an abusive relationship in any way should read this.

From the first page, I knew I wouldn’t be able to set this book down. I read it in one night and so much of it resonated with me that I needed a moment to process everything when I turned the final page. 

The characters in the book are more human than I have seen portrayed in a novel in some time. The author helps you feel love and hurt and anger and fear and a gamut of emotions in between, both with and for, each character. The journal entries from the teen years of the main character establish a strong understanding of her reasoning and bond you with her as she travels through her familial relationships and her friendships. The respect you find for her in her confusion and her decisions is deep and strong. The other characters all bring light and dark and love and loss to the table and it is frustrating when you want them to do something to keep with the idea of a fiction novel versus what they should do…be just like people and do just what we do…make mistakes. I will read this again and am looking forward to the sequel. I laughed and cried and loved along with Lily and I am not ready to let her go just yet.

I’m so happy se decided to get a divorce. As she said in the end “It stops here. With me and you. It ends with us.”
