This book hit me hard - so many tears in the end, I had to read this with a box of tissues next to me. Definitely heads up on the domestic abuse trigger warning, but I couldn't put this book down. Devoured it in less than 2 days. Colleen Hoover just catapulted to one of my top 10 favorite authors. In a nutshell, Lily Bloom is raised in a abusive household and (more than) befriends Atlas, a teen that was caught in the middle of childhood and adulthood and escaping his own abusive childhood home. Lily grows up, moves to Boston and meets dreamy neurosurgeon Ryle and life is going along "swimmingly" until a series of incidents makes Lily question her path, at which point Atlas reenters the picture. Colleen says she usually writes her books for entertainment value, but this one has a direct influence from her childhood and some of the stories are plucked directly from her parent's abusive marriage. Her ability to capture the emotional conflict one feels when in a romantic relationship that turns abusive was dead on. You have so much love for somebody, but cannot trust them to treat you and love you the right way. LOVED this book and will be looking for my next Colleen book ASAP.
