It’s funny how I didn’t notice the cover was like a thrown vase of flowers until after the first incident with Ryle. And then my fear that the the title was possibly referring to a potential murder-suicide situation. I was hoping it referred to the end of the cycle of abuse and I was so glad that was the case. I love that it ended with Lucy seeing Atlas again and had healed and moved on from Ryle and was finally ready to be with Atlas. This book made me laugh and cry, it made me fall in love and it broke my heart. It was, unfortunately, the best case scenario for a domestic abuse situation but I greatly appreciated the insight into the mind of a survivor and it think because it’s the “best case scenario” it will help so many more people to recognize the more hidden signs of abuse.
