It was interesting. I can‘t say this heavy topic was all so heavy. As someone who‘s been through mental any physical abuse, I feel like this was written by someone who doesn‘t know what they‘re talking about. I really enjoyed the back story of lily and atlas. The whole relationship with Ryle was not believable. There was no falling in love writing it just happened. It was still interesting though.

Read this one because of all the hype around it. To be honest, if I didn‘t like the actress Blake Lively, I might not have picked it up at all. Descent relationship story throughout. Definitely recommend you read the epilogue because it explains what I initially judged as weak character development.

I‘m struggling on how I feel about this book. I enjoyed the first bit, but then I felt it was a bit rushed or cliche (I.e., becoming besties with someone you‘ve met 13.5 seconds ago which happens to be the sibling of your new love). Nevertheless, the last chapters focused on a heavy topic & thought it was handled ok. I give her credit for sharing this story & I will read the follow up story. I just need less cliche in betweens.

I'm too old for these kinds of books. The insta love of people in their early twenties is a total eye roll at this point.

I couldn't get behind the characters, the plot or most importantly the domestic violence which in real life I'm an advocate for.

There's better books out there showcasing these tropes in my opinion however if a book gets people talking about serious issues then high five for that.

Octoberwoman I joined a book group on Facebook and I swear it should be called the Colleen Hoover fan page. I‘ve only read one of her books but I‘m so sick of all the fangirling I‘ll probably never read her again. 2mo

Amor4Libros @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks There‘s a whole thing going on between Blake, Justin and I think even Colleen…Mostly about what supposedly happened during filming and how the movie is being promoted. 3mo

“In the future... if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again... fall in love with me.” He presses his lips against my forehead. “You‘re still my favorite person, Lily. Always will be.”

Domestic violence in the middle of what could otherwise be a romantic comedy does not diminish the message in my opinion. As in real life, when expectations are turned upside down it can make you question if something really just happened. I worried about the protagonist and felt invested in her outcome. I think this is an important topic for women to consider and discuss. I recommend reading the post script by Hoover after finishing the book.

The best thing about this was the front cover - inspo for my nails! This was my first Colleen Hoover and it was ok .... I do think she dealt with the issue of domestic abuse really well... She definitely got the nuances and subtleties of such a difficult subject.

LapReader I‘m reading that now before I watch the movie. My first Colleen too. It‘s great for when the evil menopause wakes me up at night. 3mo

Evening reading at the beach 🏖️ is the best.I love Ms. Hoover‘s writing and this one is hitting me in the heart.You are following Lily and how she and her mom survived the abuse from her father and how she befriended a homeless young boy named Atlas who was her first love and saving grace.They lost contact and then they find each other again when they are with different people. It‘s a very emotional story and I can‘t wait until it hits theaters!

I read it bc Blake Lively is going to be in the movie that comes out in August & I love her & wanted to see what the hype was about. Now I can‘t wait to start the sequel! Trigger warning: domestic violence

⭐️.5 I think I may have matured out of reads like this, but the movie looks decent.

MrsMalaprop I have yet to read a Hoover. I was at a multi-generation family gathering recently where every woman there had read her, except for me. Made me contemplate if I was missing out. Then I decided, probably not 😂. 5mo

I can‘t. I feel sickened. Bailed at 3/4 of the way through. Lots of triggers here, and shameless manipulation of them for maximum discomfort. Somehow I thought this was going to be a gripping drama, but it‘s a semi raunchy romance with violence against women. Nope. Are all of her books like this?

Writeme After sleeping on it, I think the issue is gaslighting. I‘m generally fine with reading stories about characters who are gaslit, but so not okay when the author is gaslighting the reader. It‘s unfair and slimy. 8mo

In my opinion, this was definitely worth the hype. I know it was a little bit predictable at certain points, but I still loved it. The characters were just so well portrayed. I felt so many emotions when I was reading this book and I really do think it will be one that I think about for years after I read it. I think the author unpacked a lot in this book in a very graceful way while also writing the story beautifully.

I never jumped on the binge Colleen wagon, so don‘t mind me just treating her and her books like any other. 🤣
What an emotional toll this takes on your heart. I fell in deep love with all of the characters. I needed to know their stories, how they connected and what shattered them personally. What a bravely bold and beautiful book with some of her natural 🌶️, of course. Raw and real, this book definitely doesn‘t let go of your heart.

I just finished sobbing my way through this book, but I‘m not even sure where to begin. It is tender, heart-wrenching, filled with hope, laughter, and sadness. I don‘t want to give any spoilers, I highly recommend reading the personal note from the author afterward. Highly recommend. It does contain depictions of domestic violence and sympathy for the abuser. The story was engaging with well-developed and nuanced characters.

I was not prepared for the emotional roller coaster Colleen Hoover took me on with this book. I found myself getting angry when Lily was hurt. I found myself feeling happy when Lily and Ryle were doing good. I also found myself feeling proud for breaking the cycle when Lily asked Ryle for a divorce. Such a good read! 5 out of 5! #52bookclub24 (prompt 25: an author everyone has read)

My mother went through it.

He leans toward me and wraps an arm around me. "I would beg her to leave him," he says through his tears. His lips press desperately against my forehead and I can feel some of his tears as they fall onto my cheeks. He moves his mouth to my ear and cradles both of us against him. "I would tell her that she is worth so much more. And I would beg her not to go back, no matter how much he loves her. She's worth so much more."

His shoulders begin to shake, and for the first time since the day I met him, he has tears. Real tears that rush down his cheeks as he holds his daughter tightly against him. I'm crying, too, but I keep going. For her sake.
"What if…" My voice breaks. "What if she came to you and said, 'My husband tried to rape me, Daddy. He held me down while I begged him to stop. But he swears he'll never do it again. What should I do, Daddy?'"

This book is not safe. Several reviews said that readers felt that there is censored in this book. I researched it and Lilly‘s two boyfriends are very abusive. My friend called this book pornography, so I am abandoning it

Writeme Thanks for this. I just bailed. I was soooo uncomfortable. She totally normalizes and dramatizes abuse. Very scary. 8mo

TheAromaofBooks An interesting article. I haven't actually read any Colleen Hoover, despite being a romance reader, because her books always sound a little too depressing for my romance fare haha Have you read any of her books? 1y
Leftcoastzen @TheAromaofBooks I read the tagged book.I was troubled a bit about what is covered in the article, that it somewhat romanticizes abuse.I also thought the writing wasn‘t that good and the names were ridiculous. I read less romance than about anyone so I really don‘t know what to compare it to. 1y
TheAromaofBooks I've heard from others that they have an issue with the way she sometimes seems to “normalize“ abuse, as though it is something that should be expected in a relationship. I've often thought it would be nice if books came with a rating/content info for those interested, like they do with movies. 1y
Leftcoastzen @TheAromaofBooks I appreciate people on here on Litsy mentioning Trigger Warnings. Everyone has things that bother them , doesn‘t mean it shouldn‘t be written about. I am not a person who has been in an abusive or suffered domestic violence. I consider myself fortunate. I have known women who had to quit their jobs ,abandon their phones, apartments, & run for their lives from an abusive person , don‘t like to see that normalized I guess . 1y
TheAromaofBooks I think that is part of the issue to me. It's not a situation I've ever been in, thankfully. But normalizing it also seems to trivialize it. If it's just “one of those things that happens to most people“ will fewer people try to escape from bad situations? It seems important to write stories of hope rather than resignation, if that makes sense. 1y
