This is a book that does show one needs to not only leave an abusive relationship ASAP but also f ing heal pls before getting into one, you can't just think its alright and okay perfectly to abandon your husband and marraige literally the one you so very happily consented for, for an old school crush! Like grow up woman!

Emerson Dory?? TF<spoiler/>Spoiler
they very last-minute wake everyone up to take a midnight flight to vegas. I guess anything is possible when you make rich characters.Spoiler
there is no way Ryle was that drunk to grab a pan out the oven with no oven mitt. Secondly, why are they having sex WHILE HIS HAND IS BLEEDING A LOT? I don’t understand because he’s a SURGEON.Spoiler
As far as characters go, everyone in this book is unbearable, except for her mom at Atlas. While Atlas is sort of written with a savior complex, it is completely forgivable due to how much I hated Lily, Ryle, and Allysa. Best Atlas quote: “it wasn’t pity sex, I know I was there.”Spoiler
The epilogue ties up loose ends but leaves it open for a sequel with her new relationship with Atlas. I’m confused that she didn’t want her daughter to be around Ryle and his temper but is letter her have time with him?Spoiler
