Colleen Hoover is a fantastic writer. Although it is fairly simple, the metaphors and descriptions of emotions are genuine.
Great books, in my opinion, are those that allow readers to directly connect their vulnerabilities to the message.
Colleen Hoover establishes a platform for people to interact, reminisce, and process painful memories and heartbreak.
This book was highly rated on "Goodreads," and I have enjoyed the majority of Colleen Hoover's books, so when I saw it in the bookstore, I knew it was a sign (it is extremely difficult to find "The One Book" in Japan).I finished it this weekend, and woah, I understand now why it was rated so highly!
Lilly, a hardworking woman in her 20s, falls in love with Ryle, who is a drop-dead gorgeous neurosurgeon.
Their story is the stereotypical love story filled with destiny-like coincidences; it is all magical until the day Ryle shows his true color. Ryle's temper and tendency to resort to physical assault overlap with those of Lilly's father, who was also abusive to her mother. Throughout the book, we also get a glimpse of Lilly's past and her relationship with her first love, Atlas.
As Lilly loses her position as a wife but takes on a new role as a mother, the book shows her development as a person.
Even though it was cheesy, I believe the reunion with Atlas gave the story a very heartwarming finale.
This is everything I have to say because I detest writing summaries.
The conclusion, nevertheless, made my heart sprint!
I planned to begin reading the second book I purchased yesterday, but I ended up purchasing the sequel on Kindle.
