But I also want to know, who thought that these books were the best ones out there? Maybe it’s just my mood, maybe Colleen Hoover’s books aren’t for me. Either way, this is another book of the contemporary romance genre that was published between 2016 and 2023, so the last 7 years, that has just felt like a flop or more accurately, not interesting enough to keep me reading. I am only 21 pages in. And again, like I mentioned for another book I’ve DNF’d in the last month, why are authors pushing for 400+ pages?
If someone can convince me to read this book, without spoilers, then I’ll continue it. But honestly, cannot see why so many people love this book.
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Suicide, and Drug use

- I didn’t like how Atlas was made to be 18 and Lily 15 during their relationship, there were already things stopping them being together but this illegal fact was just unnecessary. Why can’t Colleen just write one healthy relationship?!
- The pregnancy… eh I dunno about it really, I was shocked reading it but was a little disappointed. How Ryle then acts after finding out this news was so disgusting, caring so much more for the baby then his wife - women are not baby-making machines!
- Devin was written as another gay stereotype. Why? I’ve only read ‘November 9’ but that too included a gay generalisation that just unnecessary, especially contemporary fiction. Devin is overly sexual in touching Lily and making remarks. No need for it.
