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.)

2.0

this book is not a romance novel at all and it should not be marketed that way. it is a literary fiction novel mainly revolving around Lily. we see her past, growing up with an abusive father while falling in love for the first time and her present where she meets and has insta-love with a handsome rich surgeon who big surprise also ends up being violent and abusive. the story takes readers through the ups and downs and back and forths of being the victim of DV and highlights some of the struggles survivors face when trying to leave the relationship. colleen hoover makes very questionable writing and plot choices including offering the abusive partner the semblance of a redemption arc. the worst part of the book is the lack of trigger warnings coupled with the framing and marketing of it as a love triangle romance story when it is nothing like that at all.
