It was back in 2017 when I first read this novel. As much as I loved Colleen Hoover, I was unfortunate that I didn't like this one, it simply didn't click with me (maybe because I liked Ryle I little bit too much to accept what happened at the end. Yeah don't judge me! )
Any way, here I am now re-reading it almost five years later and the more-mature side of me admits that this is not only a romance book, it's a very daring and challenging novel that raises awareness about domestic abuse, alcohol abuse, violence and the sacrifice that comes within.
I started it with so little faith that I would change my mind but here I am now fondly in love with it and so thrilled I gave it a second chance.
It takes an enormous courage to leave the one you love the most, the one that means the world to you for the sake of a better future for your child.
Re-reading this book certainly changed my perspective of seeing things, changed my reasoning of understanding cases that I'm not involved in and to never judge a book just by its cover. Everyone have their own reasons.
