To be honest, I'm the usually the kind of reader who likes to know every little thing about what to expect in advance, but I've really learned to trust Colleen's writing and her storytelling so even I went into this book without knowing anything at all. It's the first for a very long time that I've been soooo engrossed and had to struggle to stop reading, so I could go to bed last night! I know I’m a little bit late since it was published but I’m a big fan of Colleen’s books and have finished many of them in one seating. Don’t bother trolling me to tell me how stupid I am (especially if you’re a teenager who has lived a privileged lifestyle and never experienced anything contained in this book for yourself).

I haven’t wanted to hire contact torturers to kidnap a character to give the punishment he’d highly deserved for so long. Many women who experience domestic abuse do not have the option to leave just because there is a better man out there and it’s also damaging to make it seem that Lily is simply picking between Ryle or Atlas.com/-isPkZVpZNCk/WWoyHadqSsI/AAAAAAAAdpE/Cmtt-weUb3gpyFqRC-x4Z-I1cXacWZOrwCLcBGAs/s200/SOWKButtonFB2. 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. Her use of “Naked Truth” to build their relationship was a lazy ploy to circumvent true development and simulated an unsatisfying and unearned intimacy. it made me question and think about some standards i have for myself, because you never really know how you are going to react in a situation until you are faced with it yourself.

Not to be confused with Kindle Unlimited, Prime Reading gives you access to a (smaller) rotating list of free Kindle books, audiobooks, magazines and comic books.

This is a very difficult read, especially if you relate to any of it at all so please do check trigger warnings and be careful because it can be very uncomfortable to see yourself in someone like Lily, or in her position.

Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil co-parenting rhythm when she suddenly bumps into her first love, Atlas, again. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true. i was hoping for a light read with lots of ~FEELZ~ but instead i got something much more intense – not bad, just unexpected. And if you read the author's note at the end (read only after finishing the book) then you'll see how deeply personal It Ends With Us was for Colleen Hoover.The narrative is interspersed with letters that Lily wrote as a teenager and they are addressed to Ellen Degeneres - a strange touch that ends up being absolutely perfect. there’s also no reason for the author to randomly throw a bunch of serious topics (homelessness, guilt, infertility, abuse, suicidal thoughts) just for the sake of making the book forcefully emotional and not going more in depth about them. This book will make you fall in love, rip your heart out and force you to reconsider your preconceived ideas about abuse. As the two embark on their plans they begin to wonder if they’re better suited for one another than their original crushes. I went into this with the intention of liking it, but ended up feeling uncomfortable by the tone of this book.
