(view spoiler)[HAHAHA! I kinda just took my own liberty to put a face on Allysa. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah I did the same haha.

And I know right! He seems real desperate!

I didn't actually see it coming. But I wanna know more about (view spoiler)[what happened between her and Atlas! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[She couldn't let go of the scrubs haha! I don't think I even find scrubs attractive. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

85% done. (view spoiler)['Hell, if Atlas had given me any reason to believe there was a chance between us that night, I know without a doubt that I would have chosen him over Ryle.' I call bullcrap! What a load of bull Lily! You were infatuated with Ryle!

And now she goes and makes out with Ryle AGAIN!? And then tells him she wishes it was never his kid. Wow she's really messed up he life. That's why you never make stupid decisions like that. I still think she should take him back. Is that just me? It's clear he loves her so much. (hide spoiler)]

[Lily]

I'm itching to open your spoiler tags, ugh!

(view spoiler)[No I really don't haha. I really hate them. It's just such a uniform to me. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Then read read read faster :p That's one of the reasons why I update so much: because I know it's motivation to other people. I don't really like BRing with people who don't give me anything to respond to.

[Maddie]

89% (view spoiler)[I don't know where I want this to go. I feel like Atlas is out, and that she'll take Ryle back. But I really loved her mother's talk about pushing the limits. And it's true. (hide spoiler)]

[Lily]

Gotcha. But this might be the last chapter I'll read for the night. My eyes aren't agreeing with me anymore.

[Maddie]

By the way, can I please have The Crown thread? I've got one but I'm not sure it's the right one...

[Maddie]

Finished

Review: Wooooow typical Colleen Hoover book :D Just amazing. About the first half was kind of meh, but then oh wow everything started happening at once! It was such an emotional serious read, and I feel like it would be really hard to read if you'd been in a violent relationship. But it was so worth the read. The end this time had me crying my eyes out. I really had no idea what to expect, had no idea which way Lily was going to go. At the start, I never expected her to (view spoiler)[end up with Atlas. It was only in the middle when he came back into her life that I considered him a possibility. I always just assumed it would be Ryle. I suppose that was Hoover's point though, expecting us to just go with the flow and then be shocked. (hide spoiler)] I couldn't believe (view spoiler)[that she ended up having his baby! I'm glad that they're on good terms now though. And that her and Atlas ended up together :) He seems like a good guy. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Thanks! Where you up to now? I haven't been able to stop thinking about this.

[Maddie]

Cool yeah I have the right one. I might not have the crown by then, actually :/

[Lily]

I'm still at 28%
Well you can catch up whenever you have it and I'll still reply to your updates.

[Maddie]

Will do :) You enjoying this one?

[Lily]

Definitely! I always catch myself smiling hahahah

(view spoiler)[Women do it for love. Heart over mind. They'd rather take the physical pain than deal with the emotional pain of breaking up. Or they might be too scared of what the guy would do if they bring it up. It's twisted and it sucks :( (hide spoiler)]

Oh my gosh I know XD But imagine the smell!

Yeah that's true I suppose. Just really sad that it's always the guys who feel the need to force their women. Can't they just find someone they actually love?

[Lily]

(view spoiler)[This is all going too smoothly! I'm afraid to find out the catch. And I'm afraid Ryle is jumping into the relationship way too quickly, considering his issues. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Is it weird that I never considered that? XD I just fell in love with him instantly, as I do all of Hoover's guys :p

[Lily]

Maddison wrote: "Is it weird that I never considered that? XD I just fell in love with him instantly, as I do all of Hoover's guys :p"

Nah, probably just me. Because I would never date a guy for a trial run. It's either you're there for the long run or not, so I'm a little skeptic that he would flip at some point and back out when it gets too real for him.

[Lily]

Maddison wrote: "35% [spoilers removed]

(view spoiler)[Atlas! I guessed it would be him too. And I actually can't wait to read more of the Ellen Diaries and find out how it went between him and Lily. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I think it's a good idea, the trial run. Like dating before you actually start the relationship.

[Maddie]

And how else would you get to know whether you want the long run or not?

[Lily]

I mean you have to be willing that the relationship may go for the long run, instead of just "maybe yes, maybe no." That's a crappy way to explain it, I can't find the right words lol.

(view spoiler)[Are Lily and Atlas still hang up on each other?! I need more of the diary entries asap! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah I like how there's both present day and past through the diary entries. That was really interesting. Weird how she addresses all of her entries to Ellen though :p

And yeah I get what you're meaning. Like why even be in a relationship if it's going nowhere. I understand the whole one-night stand thing because yknow needs, and that's clear there's nothing more, but I'd never be able to do that.

(view spoiler)[I really enjoyed the first chapter and I'm crazy to know how this story if rolling. It was interesting that they shared some secrets. I can't help but thinking about Grey's Anatomy knowing Ryle is a neurosurgeon lol
Everyone says this book is heartbreaking and amazing, so don't disappoint me Colleen, please. (hide spoiler)]

I'm not done with this chapter yet, but I have a feeling that she's Ryle's sister. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yeah. I unfortunately am good at predicting/spoiling things for myself. It was just shady how Ryle never encountered the waiter (Atlas), then Ryle and White Capris avoided talking about their brother. I wish you didn't confirm it for me though! (hide spoiler)]

Nope, why?"
(view spoiler)[
The part where they were all drinking in the bar resembled so much of several of the show's scenes. There's a Lily and a Marshall there too, double date in a booth, the catch-phrase "suit up." And the actress who played Lily is named Alyson! (hide spoiler)]

All right, all right. It would be funny if I thought wrong. And now that I think of it, I am most likely wrong and I just misunderstood your comment lol

[Maddie]

Lol whatever you wanna think :p

(view spoiler)[Gosh, it did really hurt to read this. Things like that break my heart into a million pieces. Yes, there can be rape in a marriage. Why? Because men are fucking stupid sometimes (sorry for the bad word). Btw, it reminded me a bit of a Bates Motel's episode on season 4 (which I cried a lot). (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[RYLE WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! Gosh, that's probably why Allysa is so concerned about them together. I could feel my heart breaking along Lily's whe he pushed her. No, just... no. Arrgh, it's so frustrating. I shoul've seen it coming. (hide spoiler)]
