It Ends with Us

"3/5- Not a particularly good book, but Colleen Hoover always has addicting stories to finish in one sitting. Recommend if you’re ever in a reading rut (Feb)"

"This one takes chick lit to a new level. Colleen Hoover adds darkness and depth with these characters. Great read. "

"I understand the backstory on the book, but Lily would’ve been better off just leaving Ryle early in the book because she knew her feelings for Atlas were still there and she clearly showed all her feelings by keeping the things she kept. In the end she does acknowledge about the items, but it was too late if she would’ve been straight forward about it at first no events would happen that had happened and she would’ve been with Atlas from beginning."

"This one was good. I liked the story, it was my second one like it or similar to it. The character development from everyone was brought out in a way that makes you think like "oh wow...umm okay". I definitely liked how she ended it, although I didn't cry-even though a lot of people said they did. I'm really enjoying colleens writing style. I think I might get part 2, but I don't know yet. Good read!"

"Everyone should read this book to gain perspective on domestic abuse!!! Colleen did a beautiful job with this. 1000% recommended!!"

"It’s a good read "

"A must read"

"first Colleen book I read, good storyline and great ending"

"My second read my this author ans loved it yet again I was not sure how the story was going to play out and I really liked how it did! Colleen Hoover is highly recommended for a good read on circumstances of a relationship."

"Naked truth, everyone needs to read this book. As someone who has lived through a relationship that involved domestic abuse, I think it’s very important for people to hear this version of a very common story. The author paints a relationship that sounds like every new relationship. There’s a meet cute, period of unspoken love, the moment they become a couple, and the honeymoon phase. Until it’s not. There’s a slip up (which is an isolated event and will never happen again)….until it happens again. What this book does, is humanize the abuser. Ryle says it best when he says “There is no such thing as bad people. We’re all just people who sometimes do bad things.” Most people think it’s simple, black and white: if you’re being mistreated, walk away. This book makes you realize how incredibly complex such a decision could be. It’s not always so easy to hate someone who mistreats you, when the majority of the time they are your whole world. The characters and how their situation unfold will have you putting yourself in their shoes, and I would be very surprised if you didn’t go back and forth with how you’d handle the situation. It’s easy to have a limit with some people. But the question is, does your limit get pushed every now and then, to where you’re putting up with more than you’d expected? Does that limit continue to get pushed because now you’re used to the situation? Other topics such as homelessness, loss, and becoming a new parent are also huge contributors in the story. So many of the characters were so wonderfully written, and I loved the journal entries that which filled you in on events that happened in the past. The journal entries were one of my favorite parts of the book because they are written from the main characters point of view, but as a teenager. The innocence and wonder behind her experiences really resonated with me. From the second I started reading this book, I haven’t been able to get it off my mind. Whenever I wasn’t reading, I found myself thinking about the story. I have never felt so emotionally invested in fictional characters before, and the message behind the title (once you get it) was so powerful, it brought me to tears. As you read through this story, you won’t realize how significant the events early on are to the rest of the story. As unexpected events begin to unravel, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the emotions and journey with the characters… which I found very therapeutic. To everyone that recommended this book to me, thank you. I feel so whole after experiencing this book and I’m so excited to read the sequel."
