It's a magnificent read. Let's start with the title. The name of the book is perfect. I thought that it has a sad ending and I don't like sad stories. And it was really painful in the middle. I even thought about stop reading it but couldn't. When finally I made to the last where the true meaning of the title is revealed i realized it is a happy ending with the right choices made. 
 Now comes the characters. I loved all of the characters. I loved that Lily is an independent woman who took charge of her life and made her dream come true. From the beginning I liked Atlas better than Ryle. But I also sympathize with Ryle. The way he is, it's not his fault actually. Allysa and Marshall are very good people themselves. I want a friend like Allysa too. 
 It's a nice romantic story showing a dark side that many families have. But what most of the families do is make the wrong decision. Lily made the right decision for Ryle, for herself and mostly for the child. That child is going to have a great dad and Ryle is going to be an amazing father. 
 The story is so well written and the language is amazing. I have tons of favorite quotes from this book. I absolutely loved Lily's journal. The last entry says so much. Her thoughts were so matured, her feelings were so well written even i could feel her pain.
