As someone who’s been in 3 verbally abusive relationships And has been called hot by random men I knew from chapter 1 he was a red flag.. the minute he brought that chair towards her… I knew it was a red flag, but I fell in love with him I think and love the book because it looks good, it looks pleasing, we fall in love with Ryle.. and then we hate ryle.. 😮 I saw all the red flags my first time reading it, but I haven’t been physically abused only sexually and verbally, mentally snd emotionally… I love it because it gets us to understand that books ( people) look pleasing but once we read the book we understand the true colors, some of us.. understand that once we leave those relationships that he’s a jackass
