So, I wasn't sure where this story was heading at first. It was random, the family dynamic was messy and that's a fuckin understatement, but I decided to read on as usually with a Hoover book, it'll be gut-wrenching at some point.
And it was.
Not in the style of It Ends With Us necessarily, but in its own way. As I got more and more invested in the story, I teared up quite a few times.
I think Colleen Hoover is getting better and better with her books.
I like that there was a specific focus on family and mental health rather than just sex and boy-drama. It made for a nice change.
What I've realised and learned in this book is that I 'thought' the family aspect felt unrealistic. But then I thought to myself, what about the family made it unrealistic for me?
And simply, it's because I haven't ever experienced or seen anything close to such dysfunctionality.
I mean, it's fiction, but that doesn't necessarily mean that such a mess of a family doesn't exist just because I haven't experienced it in my 27 years of living. The secrets, the lies, the dishonesty is something that is all too real and I love how everything came together towards the end.
Acceptance, but still messy.

you’re reading tastes are so different from everyone else’s. You hated The Cruel Prince (which everyone loved) and liked this book (one that has many negative reviews)
