This book is marketed as romance, and the synopsis makes it seem like a lighthearted love triangle instead of a woman’s experience with spousal abuse. As Colleen points out many times in the book, from the outside it seems such a simple and straightforward matter, that if you are in an abusive relationship you walk away from it. An honest, evocative, and tender novel, It Ends with Us is a glorious and touching read, a forever keeper. I took a gander at my friends’ reviews before I started typing this and noticed my buddy Chelsea was the only other naysayer in the batch. Preventing your heart from forgiving someone you love is actually a hell of a lot harder than simply forgiving them.

This was my first Colleen Hoover novel, and she easily has made the list of my top favorite authors, easy. He was simply so intense and self-centred, and the relationship that develops between Lily and Ryle felt superficial such that I was never really invested in it to begin with.

I do not doubt that domestic abuse can be very different, but I believe the fact that Colleen’s father was an alcoholic has a huge impact on her final opinion of him. Gostei bastante, mas amei mesmo foi quando li a continuação e vi que todos tiveram as consequências e destino que mereciam. and as you read more, these pieces of the story come together forming a scenario that gives such a raw, honest portrayal of an incredibly relevant issue.As Lily's and Ryle's relationship pushes forward she finds herself looking back at those entries and thoughts of her first love Atlas resurface. In November 9, Colleen Hoover takes readers on a captivating journey of two strangers brought together by fate. Hoover's latest novel, It Ends With Us---is a heartrending and powerful exploration of the different sides of domestic abuse.

Furthermore, when Lily is trying to explain to Ryle that she wants to divorce him, she tells him something along the lines of “what if this baby girl came home to you and told you ‘daddy, this boy hits me but he apologized and said he wouldn’t do it again’, what if she came home with bruises”, and only then does that garner any sympathy from Ryle. there’s absolutely no justification for abuse and why lily continues to stay is beyond my comprehension. I love it ends with us i read the whole book in less than a day but i would give anything to be able to read the book again for the first time not knowing all the twists and turns, its an amazing heart warming, heart braking romance with many plot twists and although before reading this book i never read romance or a story about adults before i can now say that i am more open to those types of books after reading this. She expressed that “as a fellow reader with my fair share of past experiences, I understand that there are issues some people do not want to read about.He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily, but Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. What I do know is that I haven't been on Goodreads in nearly six months and it's entirely your fault that i'm here now.
