cami (camigy) | 7 comments oof ok this is complicated. So first, I agree w lily that she should’ve at least tried to have Ryle be in her daughter’s life. He’s her father, he wanted to be involved, he loved the baby, and he has a right to be in her life. This doesn’t mean that we should j ignore everything he’s ever done. First i think he needs professional help for his anger issues if he’s ever going to be in this little girl’s life because she has to be protected. And second, the moment he does anything violent in regards to her daughter (even if she doesn’t rly get hurt, like when he smashed lily’s phone), in my opinion, he loses any rights he has and lily should try to get full custody.
So ig what i’m saying is I think lily did the right thing, but ryle is always kinda like “on probation”.

v | 3 comments well, it is sort of based on true-life stories and I think what she did was right and the best choice she could make for the both of them, he would've eventually manipulated the kid, or well at least her daughter would've seen stuff happen to lily from Ryle , which isn't healthy. and she hasn't kept him away from the kid if I recall right in the last chapter she goes and gives her daughter to him .so she hasn't kept him away from the kid just that they arent a conditional family and that lily and Emmy are safe and will do much better in life.


Ann 🦢 (chrisannreads) To start off this book hit home for me. I was happy that Lily choose to raise Emerson on her own, for her and her daughters safety and well being. I hated Ryle for the way he treated Lily, he fooled me. What I am trying to say is if Ryle loved lily as much as he expressed he wouldn’t have laid his hands on her a 2nd or 3rd time. So no, I don’t think the co parent thing would be an option for me. Because if Riley can’t control his anger with the girl he loves I doubt a child would change him. If he wanted to change he would’ve taken that extra step the day he laid hands on Lily and the day he realized she was carrying his child. He wasn’t good for her and he knew that, but instead he choose to let his emotions control him.


DeDe | 4 comments Abusive husbands can also be abusive dads. Having said that , Lily made a conscious decision when she chose to have Ryle be a part of Emerson's life. He ran out of chances with Lily (Thank god) but maybe he deserves atleast one with his daughter. I was satisfied with their relationship dynamic at the end. Healthier than any outcome I could have predicted .

no, it wouldn't be wrong but I think in a way it's good that she lets him see Emmy , its good for Ryle and Emmy as long as they arent together Emmy is with him for long periods of time

D (gtfodea) | 4 comments no because ryle clearly showed his red flags since the beginning of the book but i chose not to judge him at first and okay he does have a very sad and traumatic backstory but TRAUMA NEVER JUSTIFIES THE ACTIONS OF PEOPLE and more specifically ABUSE.
the last part of the book tore me to pieces. i don't understand how people can hate this book. imo this book is a must read for everyone.

I completely agree, I really liked the ending and how it was left, that he was still able to see his daughter but hopefully in a controlled way.


Nena ❤︎ | 15 comments omg have you guys seen that there's a new book coming, it starts with us??!!


gigi (giovannadewallau) | 5 comments Nena ❤︎ wrote: "omg have you guys seen that there's a new book coming, it starts with us??!!"

omg yes!! i'm really curious to see how emerson is going to grow up tbh. i want to see if ryle is going to seek for more professional help and i hope he can be a great dad to her.
i also epect some sexy times with lily and atlas cmonnnnn.


sid :) (sidrg) | 2 comments this question has so many layers but here is just a personal opinion. if i were lily, i would raise the kid on my own but still let ryle see her grow up and be in his daughters life, not like a christopher and lorelai type of thing. but still you cant take chances with ryle, so like he should definitely see some kind of mental attention and sort that stuff out before reallyy having lots of contact with emerson. but obviously lily and no one should accept ryle's actions and they really need to take it step by step.

First of all, I think that Lily should participate so that Ryle can improve his life by going to therapy, so that it will be better for him and for his daughter. Ryle is her father and he is a human being who has made mistakes as a result of a traumatic situation he suffered, he needs an opportunity to do better.


Becka | 10 comments I'm perhaps the only person in the universe who didn't end up loving Atlas and had his heart smitten with Ryle the entire book. I agree that Lily had to walk away from their relationship, but it hurt so much that I still can't get over it. Ryle is my naked truth


Nadia | 8 comments After the first time Ryle got mad I low key hated him. He made me so angry and I could somewhat tell that he was going to get mad again.

you're not the only one, it break my whole heart, I was literally rooting so hard for him and when he... omg worst feeling ever, but im sure we'll get to see more atlas next book and fall in love with him, i hope so anyway


message 15: by erinlecountluvr (new)

erinlecountluvr (clairecottrilsgf) i was soooo oblivious to Ryle omg. like when the kitchen scene happened, I immediately thought she was overreacting and felt bad for Ryle bc of his hand and his upcoming surgery😭the second incident I was more cautious and was like oh crap, and cried over him bc I was so in love with him. i do think he should be a part of his daughters life, but with supervision and make sure he’s getting the help he needs. also I agree, I was one of the people who didn’t fall in love with atlas. Idk I thought the whole age thing when she was 15 was weird, but him as an adult was better. i liked him just not totally in love with him.

He gave me bad vibes from the start tbh and after the first time he got mad I was hoping this wouldn't be the type of story where the female mc forgives the male mc for this type of stuff.


message 17: by Eva (new) - rated it 5 stars

Eva (Taylors Version) (fearlesslyevaaa) | 6 comments I honestly think Ryle should’ve been honest about his issues from the very beginning. Sure they got together really quick but that’s something they should’ve discussed before they got married. Honestly, I think Emerson should’ve been raised by Lily herself but Co parenting is also a wise option because what if the kid grows up and blames Lily for not having a stable relationship with her biological father!? These situations always are mostly unpredictable so yeah. But I honestly believe Ryle won’t lose his shit w his kid.


Erika | 4 comments I AM ENTIRELY BROKEN.

I didn't cry while reading this, but I wish I could. Reading the first few pages had me on cloud 9. I even took screenshots and sent it to my non-reader friends because of how in love I am with Ryle. He just seemed so perfect. I kept brushing aside the blaring sirens that this was a Coleen Hoover book. I FELT CHEATED AND HURT. How could he do that? He knew what she went through. I know he has his issues and all, but I can't wrap my head around it. What's worse is that I can't hate Ryle. He is going through stuff, and I do believe that he never intentionally hurt Lily. But I would set this book to flames if they got back together even if his issues are resolved!! I'm glad Lily got with Atlas. I love her and Ryle's chemistry, but we all know green flag Atlas is the better choice.


Davida (davida_ray) | 16 comments As happy as I am that Atlas was their for Lily and and I HATE Ryle, I feel as if I still don't really know Atlas. I hope we get see more about him in the next book


Bailee | 12 comments THIS BOOK BROKE ME!!
This was my first Colleen Hoover book and I cried for two hours straight. I enjoyed the beginning, but chapter 14 killed me. I really thought Ryle was just amazing and now I know I was so wrong. Atlas and Lily is - I'm in love. My final review of it was 5/5!

I agree, I was all for Ryle until the kitchen. I kinda felt it coming, but I was head over heels. I hate myself for believing that the relationship could still work after he had hit her the first time.

I had the exact same thoughts. I loved Ryle in the beginning, despite the red flags. After the kitchen scene, I, like Lily, believed he should have a second chance, but his trauma is no excuse for the harm he caused her.


message 23: by Anna (new) - rated it 3 stars

Anna | 9 comments I don't really understand how some people are a Ryle stan. Like everyone else, I loved Ryle at the start but then when he did those unforgivable things to Lily I immediately stopped liking him. But I get where Lily was coming from when she keep on going back to him, it's hard to stop loving someone who trusted and shared everything with.


Ashley (Xaden Riorson's Version) | 6 comments I died. At first I was like, YAY RYLE, but I hate that man with a passion. Ryle is not the only one with a traumatic history. After Emerson died, he expected Lily to just tolerate the abuse. She also had a backstory because her father abused her and her mom. When Ryle abused her it brought back hard memories, and Ryle was asking Lily for forgiveness without forgiving her. A moment for Atlas, who absolutely saved her. The second he saw her hurt in the resturant, he knew. Yay for Atlas Corrigan, saving lives. Atlas gave you that magnet, Lily. Hold on to it. Hold onto him. He's a good one.

I actually disagree. This book is very hyped up online, but to me, it is definitely worth it.
