Honestly, I started this book only because of English. I got advice to read something simple, written in the modern actual language and an instant New York Times bestseller sounded very fitting.
What can I say about the book itself? The plot seems cheesy from the first page and the main heroes convey the impression of very trivial ones (`He is a true asshole, girl!' - I wanted to scream after their very first meeting ). But let's look closer at everyone.
Ryle is beautiful, successful, talented aaand miserable. How ridiculous was a 'love asking' episode and their first common night. And all those 'tricky games' at the begging. But then he charmed me. Yes, even after 'the kitchen incident. It was so weird and crappy thinking at that moment he is...no that wrong. Classical abuse swing. Until he started freacking me out and it began hard to read further in order not to know something worse.
Atlas from the past had puzzled me: why being hardworking and clever enough (I guess he was) he was acting so stupidly? But then the last entry came and I understood him better. And Atlas in the future... confusion was replaced by admiration.
Lily, as to me, was brave and bold on the one side and ludicrous on the other. Successful in business, charming and hot, kind and generous but at the same time so stupid-in-love-girl. I'm lucky to not understand how it feels to love someone who mistreats you, so I cannot judge her. And despite few times I wanted to close the book and never open it again (Lily's behavior annoyed me) I'm very happy for her in the end.
And then I read a note from the Author and became impressed and thankful for this book. Great job!
