dark tense

I remember reading this as a teenager and feeling incredibly disturbed by the things the protagonist experiences.

This book went from almost being my favorite book to well, not. The first 60% of the book was amazing but as the truth unfolded things became too much to handle. Trigger warnings are super important with this book. I wish I had looked up trigger warnings for this book... Lets just say the triggers kept adding up. Too much trauma piled up all at once. The ending was good but I cant look at it solely over a good ending and a good start.

I honestly thought that Holden was going to be the bad guy. In some ways he was, but not like your typical narcissist who plays the girl to make her fall in love with him. Now, do I agree that he hid all that information from Sky (Hope)? No. But I can see why. Also, it’s a book lol. Colleen Hoover can make any character do what she wants for any reason.
