A beautiful mess of a tale of a life lived by many seldom truly understood. This book makes the reader feel soo many emotions, at first glance it might seem like those conventional books with the overused plots but oh boy could you be proven wrong. Before going on further with the review from my perspective, here's the plot to compliment my review as well as make it easier to understand. Lily is a young and ambitious woman who is also very attractive, she was born and raised in a very toxic environment wherein her father used to physically hurt her mother. All her life she used despise her mother for staying with such a monster and made sure that she never gets in such a horrible situation herself. In the beginning, she meets Ryle and their chemistry is undeniably amazing from the get go. But as one dives deep into the book, we get introduced to Lily's first love and a scary plot twist occurs which changes the entire course of this beautifully executed story. Now as for my review, what can I say? I haven't ever read a book that gave me moments of laughter, agony, sadness and frustration all together. This book just moves you, it really teaches you how society often blame the victim and ignore the inhumane deeds of the offender. It sheds light on the very real issues of society, it shows the pain of separation and it lends us a light of freedom. It feels as if one is living in that story, all the characters are soo down to earth and real, everything in the book fits perfectly from the beginning to the end. Speaking of the end, there hasn't been such a satisfactory ending in any of the books I have read or skimmed through before. My expression as I read the last lines of this book was unmistakably a wide smile. I think the ending is what made me love the book the most. I also love how Lily grew throughout the story and it didn't once feel forced or out of sorts. She learned to accept her past, present and undeniably herself. This book is a definate read for anyone with a heartbeat, don't take it from me, take it from Kami Garcia, another impressive author. Happy Reading :))
