DOMESTIC ABUSE NOT A ROMANCE BOOK!!!
⭐️ 5 STARS 💗
“‘You were the only one in my life who ever stood up for me. You were strong when I was scared.’ A tear falls from her eye when she says, ‘Be that girl, Lily. Brave and bold.”
This is not a love story. This is about a powerful woman stepping into the world and making sure to learn from her past, for a better future for her and her family.
I have so much respect for Colleen Hoover and her Mother. Authors note crushed me.

this book showed me the battle that people have to fight everyday when it comes to abusive relationships. it completely breaks my heart to know where this story comes from and my heart goes out to colleen hoover and to anyone else in the world who has or is currently going through this. <3
wow i don't know how to feel right now.
3 stars. [lowered from 4 stars to 3 stars]

I'm looking back at a couple of the reviews I've written in the last couple of years, and PLEASE IGNORE THE PARTS IN THE REVIEW FROM 2021-22!!!!
While yes, I admit I really enjoyed this book when I read it the first and only three times, I am now a changed person. I first read it when I was 16, and now at almost 20, I learned the importance of discerning what is good for you and what isn't. This book left a really distorted view for me of what a romance novel is. Quite clearly, t ...more

Every single time I see something about this book I want to take another star away.

3.5 stars*
ummmmmmm. I thought this book was supposed to destroy me mentally. It did nothing of the sort. It wasn’t bad, like, I enjoyed reading it. But it wasn’t amazing. Personally there were way too many smut scenes, as in, I was so bored of them having sex all the time. I also found that lily repeated the same stuff so many times. It just felt like I kept on reading the same ‘deep’ quotes again and again, slightly re phrased. That being said I still liked this book.

This was my favorite book ever I still think about the story
I re-read the first couple chapters and realized it was so horribly good but also so horribly bad and wrong at the same time. Ellen really Ellen of all people all she could think of was Ellen
i could read 1,000 pages of this book
