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 couldn’t stop listening to this book throughout this book I was crying throughout this whole entire book. I have watched the movie that correlates to this book. To be honest. I liked the book better than the movie. Can’t wait to read the second part of this saga."

"It’s very well written and ‘easy’ to read. I went into reading this blind and I honestly recommend you do the same otherwise you know exactly what’s going to happen. SPOILER ALERT… I saw some comments saying that Colleen is romanticizing abuse but I think that is en extremely narrow minded way of thinking. You’re literally saying that all domestic violence is the same and there couldn’t possibly be a situation like this which completely invalidates victims whose situation IS similar to this. Guess what… not all DA and rape cases are the same!!!!! Shocker I know. "

"While I enjoyed this book, I also didn’t like it. There were times, I had to put this book down because it hurt me to read the compromises Lily has in those pages. Compromises that I myself have had in past relationships. The story and characters are well written. The drama sucks you in and tears you apart, leaving you with emotional damage…. and as much as I wanted the characters to reconcile and grow together, Colleen writes it in the most natural, realistic way. This isn’t a romantic, happy ending book. This is a soul wrenching, realistic view of what women (and men) have gone through. Is it my favorite? No. But do I have major respect for the realism? Yes.

"•SPOILER WARNING• “For my father, who tried his very best not to be his worst. And for my mother, who made sure we never saw him at his worst.” This book was a roller coaster of emotions. There was parts in the book were I didn’t want to continue reading because I knew what was coming. I knew what was about to happen but couldn’t stop reading. Colleen’s writing is not my favorite, however the story made up for it. Unlike others who have read the book, I didn’t feel like she was romanticizing the abuse at all. I have never been in a relationship like that before. So I do not speak from experience. But I felt she portrayed it really well. I’m nervous to start the second book because I feel her second books are usually a lot worst then the first. (For example maybe now and maybe someday.) Some parts of the book did really annoy me. I could not get over the main character’s name. Omg….it was so horrible. I already knew that Ryle was going to become violent so maybe that’s why, but I loved the foreshadowing. I felt she did a good job of showing you hints on how he really was. "

"I saw that this book is becoming a movie staring Blake Lively and I wanted to read it before I saw it. It is listed as a contemporary romance book but be forewarned, there are some very heavy topics which include domestic violence and attempted rape. Overall I enjoyed the book, but it was hard for me to understand some of the choices Lily made. I did appreciate the back and forth between the present and the past through Lily’s journal writings. I’m going to dive straight into the second book as I’ve been told it picks up right where this book left off. "

"Loved this so much, a quick read! Definitely could be super heavy at times, but I thought it was a great story and very well written. I loved learning about Lily’s past with Atlas via letters she wrote to Ellen years ago. Can’t wait for the movie to come out! 🍿 🎥 "

"How the hell does this book have 4.5 stars???? I genuinely cannot comprehend the fact that anyone actually like coho. The abuse? The incest? WE BOTH LAUGH AT OUR SONS BALLS??? If you like anything she has written you need help and the Bible "
