What makes love stick? Is it the irresistible spark when you lock eyes across a piazza in Rome? Is it feeling the earth move under your feet? (Wait—that was an actual earthquake.) In these six serendipitous short stories, bestselling authors turn improbable first encounters into hopelessly romantic happy ever afters.

First half is much better than the last. Worth it for Christina Lauren and Abby Jimenez!

Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true.

Problematic AND poorly written
Revisado: 06-01-24
Ugh, this was such a frustrating book. I feel like it both trivializes and hyper-fixates on domestic abuse. It makes things overly simplistic and complicated. Its hard to feel sympathy or understand the main character’s decision-making. I honestly feel like people are just pretending to love it because they feel like they should.
I, like the author, grew up in a home with domestic abuse, so maybe I partly didn’t think it reflected my reality, and so I didn’t believe it. But I think the sympathetic way the abuser is portrayed — despite a million red flags — is deeply problematic. The fact that there are readers online debating who she should have ended up with tells you that this abuser was depicted too positively. And giving him such a deeply traumatizing reason for being an abuser felt like she was trying to excuse him. If Hoover really wanted us to believe in him, he should have been in therapy so we could start to believe he wanted to change.
The author’s note at the end tries to explain it all away, but it wasn’t enough for me.
Finally, while I do like the character of Atlas, I think the ending is contrived and further illustrates Lily’s co-dependency. She clearly needs therapy too!
I cannot recommend this one. Trigger warnings aside, it’s just not a good book. (That said, I’ll probably have to read the sequel. 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤣)
