definitely a heavy read so make sure you're mentally capable to read about domestic abuse and rape before you read this. I went in thinking it would be a love triangle and got hit by a ton of bricks. 
I didnt want to like this cause coho is a bad person but it was very good (i read it secondhand)
I dont think it romanticises abuse clearly you read a different book if you think this??

I do think coho shouldnt be supported but if you must, borrow this from a library <3

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.

Beautifully written book. Dealt w/ parents who had abusive tendencies + didn't really have any good examples of healthy relationships growing up, so really related to Lily in that aspect. I typically really dislike when books tend to jump around in time, (like when Lily looked through past journal entries throughout the book) but this book did it well. Honestly don't have any complaints about it/anything i wish was different.
