4.5 stars out of 5!
This was almost a perfect book for me, but I feel like it would be hard to find another book that was as perfect as It Ends With Us. It Ends With Us was the first book I read by CoHo and it just hit a mark with me. It showed me what a hard-hitting contemporary romance should be, without me realizing that that book had hard-hitting issues. The main topic that arose was a surprise to me and I loved how CoHo has a special way of making the reader feel for the ”villain.” Granted, this is not a review for It Ends With Us, I just felt the need to explain what it is that I didn't even know that I desire from a CoHo book.
I love Colleen Hoover’s imaginative mind. She tends to find subjects to write about, that I didn't even know I wanted or needed in my life. This was a very interesting romance, but it was also a story about a relationship between a mother and a daughter. My mother had passed a day just barely over six years ago and the selflessness that is shown with Morgan reminds me of my own mother. To me, that is the utmost compliment as my mother was an amazing, caring, and selfless woman.
This story took so many amazing and heartwrenching turns.

My only complaint is I wanted more from Chris’s perspective. I wanted to know more about the decisions he made in the current day and I wanted to feel for him as a person, as well as more from Jenny. I realize that one of the storylines had to do with the mysterious letter to Chris from Jenny and how Morgan realizes that she doesn’t ultimately need to know what was written between them... although, I felt like I needed that, as a reader. Referencing back to my earlier connection with It Ends With Us I need that connection to the villain(s).
Ok, I’m going to now end this 3:30 am review because I am probably not expressing my thoughts clearly. I give myself an average C+ or B- for this review. I have no clue why in grading myself, but there you go. I did. Good night, good morning, or good afternoon, depending on when you read this review.

5 Incredible amazing stars!!!
Colleen's latest novel did not disappoint! It packs all the feels taking you from gut aching laughter to heartbreaking sadness and tons of angst with all the romance we love. So well written, this character driven novel had me hanging on its every word until the very end. Thank you Colleen for continuing to grow and evolve in your writing in the most beautiful ways while also staying true to who you are and the woman we so love and adore.

Very Young Adult
I liked this story, however, I felt like the characters lacked depth and the logic behind clara and morgans decisions or ideas didnt make sense. For instance i did not understand why Morgan acted so overprotective of her daughter,coming from a very strict household, I can say for a fact parents like this only aggravate teenager behavior. I was very upset that it took morgan so long to tell her daughter what was going on, and she just let her hate her for a while, to protect people that frankly weren't worth it, just because she thought it was better this way, or that Clara couldn't handle it. All I can say Is parents please don't be Morgan, for god's sake.
