This book could be the one that makes the statement "Reading Saves Lives" be true. One-sitting read. Tough topic. Hoover really does a good job showing the struggle Lily goes through. She is such a strong character. Just an FYI for those that worry about this. This book doesn't feature a love triangle. The synopsis makes it sound a little like that so don't let that turn you off if that is the only reason you don't want to pick this one up.

Gut-wrenching, heartbreaking. Bittersweet. This story was a rollercoaster ride! This is one that is going to stick with me for a very long time.

She's the only author that I have found that does that with

This book was an emotional read for me. I can't personally relate to it but I know people that can. DEFINITE trigger warnings for abuse and depression. But the story itself is raw and real and just so heartbreaking. This book is the reason I've fallen in love with Colleen Hoover's novels. She doesn't disappoint!

Naked truth. This book is important. This book will make you rethink your opinions. It will pull at your heart, it will make you questions things you thought were wrong and how you'd face them. This will stick with me for a very long time.
