This book takes you through a whole lot of emotions. Quite a lot of abuse in here and you would think people would learn from that, but they don’t. And that’s like life. Lily was almost following the same path as her mother. Allowing herself to be in an abusive relationship and then staying for as long as she did. Yes, she did eventually get out, but it took until her baby was born to make these decisions. There were times I was mad at Lily and there were times I cried with her.
