I don’t think I’ve ever been so glad I decided to read a book. Not just because it was a good book but because of what I learned from it. It wasn’t until the end that I realized how important of a story it is. I even read the authors note (which I literally never do) and it had me blurry eyed all the way through. Everyone should read it and even if your not feeling it in the beginning or halfway through just stick with it for the end, it’s worth it.

So I’ve just finished this book! It’s taken me two days and I have never, ever, read a book that had me in so many different emotions!! I felt like I was there watching everything unfold!! It’s definitely one of my favourite reads this year, but I am in no hurry to re-read it just yet!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⚠️read trigger warnings before reading this book⚠️

This book was soooooo good. I couldn't put it down. Colleen Hoover is truly amazing. The story wasn't perfect, I did have a little problem with it. I wanted to know more about Ryle. Yes we got all the basic stuff and how he acts but I wanted to know what his favorite color was or why he wanted to be a neurosurgeon. Stuff like that. I don't know maybe it's just me over thinking the story. I really liked how it ended. It was a good finish and Lily was a very strong character. Colleen Hoover, I will pick up every book you've ever written because they are just perfect.

Now that the story is over, I want to read more about Atla and Lily. They are such a cute couple and I want to see a story about how they are cute together and how things work with Ryle. Maybe even a novella? They're so cute!helena88's review against another edition

Kayaknya ini buku kedua CoHo yang saya baca, dan tentu saja buku ini luar biasa.
Bukan hanya karena ini ditulis dari kisah nyata penulisnya, tapi cara bercerita keseluruhannya yang juga tergambar dengan baik.
Isu Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga (KDRT) memang banyak, tapi saya salut dengan cara CoHo menceritakan kisah Lily-Ryle-Atlas yang sangat menarik, terasa asyik dan kerasa di hati juga.
Seorang anak yang dilukai sejak kecil, entah mendapat kekerasan atau melihat kekerasan itu sendiri gak akan pernah sama dengan anak lainnya, trauma begitu dalam. Butuh waktu untuk bisa memercayai orang lain, laki-laki apalagi untuk menjadi pasangan hidup.
Cerita ibu dan ayah Lily terasa nyata sekali, pertemuan dengan Ryle yang nyata-nyata adalah cinta tapi tidak membuat Lily menjadi perempuan lemah, dia berani dan tangguh. Cerita soal Atlas terasa enak dalam kisah buku harian, tidak terasa hanya selipan. Sosok Atlas adalah harapan bahwa tidak semua laki-laki serupa ayahnya Lily dan Ryle.
Endingnya juga keren sekali. Adegan Lily di rumah sakit setelah melahirkan, terasa luar biasa menutup cerita ini.
Cerita akhir dari penulis, mengapa dia menulis buku ini, ceritanya dan pengalamannya membuat buku ini menjadi terasa lebih menyentuh.
teruslah berenang...
