It Ends With Us | Book by Colleen Hoover | Official Publisher

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 in Maine where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true. Lily’s husband Ryle can be kind, funny and sexy but his repeated warning signs, marked by episodes of overpowering anger, help to distance the reader from fully investing in the success of their relationship. He exhibits almost Christian Grey characteristics and this insubstantiality negates from what could have been a more developed morally dubious character. The maturity that Lily showed towards her young love Atlas isn’t convincingly translated to her marriage which is adds to a sense of juvenility and one-dimensionality. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He's also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily, 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.With a delicate foiled cover, exclusive board and sprayed edge design, as well as an exclusive interview with Colleen and her mother, don't miss this beautiful collector's edition.

It Starts with Us: the highly anticipated sequel to IT ENDS

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. Yet it must be said that the writing itself is underdeveloped, reminiscent of YA fiction, and inconsistencies (like the 30-year-old neurosurgeon who comes home wearing his hospital scrubs) translate to a frustrating narrative in terms of inauthentic plausibility. COLLEEN’S LIVE CHAT: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorColleenHoover/videos/vb.342533115760296/1242584209088511/?type=2&theaterWith no prior knowledge of the plot of the story, I finally caved in and read the book in a total of two days. The novel follows the life of Lily Bloom, a 23-year-old, red-headed woman living in Boston with a dream of opening up her own flower shop. She meets Ryle, a handsome neurosurgeon who is strongly against serious relationships. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He's also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily, 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. The raw emotions Hoover excellently wrote and embedded into her characters make the story extremely powerful, sad and painfully truthful. There is an overwhelming amount of cleverly placed details in the beginning that connect to the end of the book. My favorite symbolic object is a refrigerator magnet that Atlas gave Lily as a teenager, which shows up in her and Ryle’s apartment. The moment Ryle discovered where the magnet came from shifted the story from a sappy romance to a dark and complicated heartbreak.
