4.75

the way that lily acts towards ryle when he claims he would change made me extremely mad, like leave him permanently!! but overall it was a rollercoaster of emotions and made me EXTREMELY tense during some parts and those are the kind of books that i LOVE. it displays acts of physical abuse from spouses/partners and also tells you options on what to do. i love how this book displays what some women/men have to go through. according to me overall, i give this book a perfect 5 according to the storyline and pace! (took me 3 nights to read it whole because of how the book had me CLINGING) but according to my emotions, a 4.75 because of how often i cried (not joking.)

I actually really liked this book, it was very emotional and contains scenes and themes that might be triggering for a reader however it was good and I can’t wait to read it starts with us when we focus on Lily and Atlas story ❤️

I have a lot of respect for the story that is written in these pages. I felt a draw to keep reading through the beginning chapters that were a bit slow but also revealed a deeper and darker narrative than where I thought the book was heading. I was frustrated with the middle of the book because of the decisions made by the characters but that was absolutely the point of the writing. The amount of meticulous and difficult details the author includes throughout these chapters places the reader right into the story and the decisions that are fought with in this section. I felt the end of the book was written spectacularly and really made reading this book worthwhile. The main character’s thought process was so intriguing and made me think about what it might be like to be in that type of relationship in a totally new way. The very end was a little cheesy but still wrapped it up well. A thought provoking novel that I would recommend to anyone wanting to understand what it might be like to live through something like this. Check the content warnings before embarking on this story to make sure this isn’t too hard of a book to read.
