It Ends with Us: A Novel (1)

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING BLAKE LIVELY AND JUSTIN BALDONI!

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us and All Your Perfects, a “brave and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn’t let go, long after you’ve finished it” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author) about a young woman in a new relationship who can’t stop thinking about her first love.

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.

Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.

As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.

An honest, evocative, and tender novel, It Ends with Us is “a glorious and touching read, a forever keeper. The kind of book that gets handed down” (USA TODAY).

I was shocked when I figured out the genre of this book was romance. With all the drama that surrounded the movie, I thought I would give this book a try when it was free to listen to on the Libby app. What I didn't know was that I wasn't going to be able to stop listening. So I learned two things - apparently I do enjoy romance novels AND I am a sucker for books with lots of trauma. Lily is an amazing character and hearing the author talk about WHY she wrote this books was truly heart wrenching.

This book tackles dv with such empathy and understanding. It really helps the reader understand the victims’ experiences and encourages readers to really stand up for what is right. This book is really entertaining involving the main characters love triangle as well!

I went into 'It ends with us' by Colleen Hoover with high expectations, given its widespread acclaim on social media. Unfortunately, the book failed to live up to the hype for me. While the story had its moments, I struggled to connect with the writing style, which didn't resonate with me. the pacing felt slow, and it took me longer than usual to finish the book. One of my major issues was the relationship between Lily and Atlas. I found it cringe-worthy how Lily let her teenage love for Atlas affect her marriage to Ryle. it seemed unfair to Ryle, who deserved better. However, I did appreciate the book's themes of self-love and empowerment. Lily's ultimate decision to choose herself was a redeeming moment in the story. Overall, while 'It ends with us' has its fans, it wasn't the book for me, it was just an okay read.
