It Ends with Us

In this “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) from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All Your Perfects, a workaholic with a too-good-to-be-true romance 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).

A Novel

Angelica Garcia

In the future… if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again… fall in love with me.

Roxanne Tubadeza

Imagine all the people you meet in your life. There are so many. They come like waves, trickling in and out with the tide. Some waves are much bigger than others and make more of an impact than others. Sometimes the waves bring with them things from deep in the bottom of the sea and they leave those things tossed onto the shore. Imprints against the grains of sand that prove the waves had once been there, long after the tide recedes.

“you can stop swimming now lily. we’ve finally reached the shore”

“it stops here. with me and you. it ends with us”

“in the future… if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again… fall in love with me. you’re still my favorite person, lily. always will be”

“you touch her again and i’ll cut your fucking hand off and shove it down your throat you worthless piece of shit”

“believe me lily. i know that wasn’t a pity fuck. i was there”

god please take all of our suffering and give it to colleen hoover instead 😭🙏

Just because we didn’t end up on the same wave, doesn’t mean we aren’t still a part of the same ocean. 

It wasn’t until I was in college for a couple of years and dating someone else that I realized maybe Atlas wasn’t supposed to be my whole life. Maybe he was only supposed to be a part of it.

Maybe love isn’t something that comes full circle. It just ebbs and flows, in and out, just like the people in our lives. 

Lily. Life is a funny thing. We only get so many years to live it, so we have to do everything we can to make sure those years are as full as they can be. We shouldn’t waste time on things that might happen someday, or maybe even never. 

All humans make mistakes. What determines a person’s character aren’t the mistakes we make. It’s how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses. 

It ends with us. Siamo noi a dire basta

I just really do not enjoy Colleen Hoover as an author. I think that mature topics and content is not written with maturity, care, or proper research/experience. It Ends With Us is a book with very mature content and yet it has extremely cringey dialogue and is incredibly predictable. I also feel like it romanticizes trauma.

the beginning was good, def a little fast-paced near the end, but it was nice, emotional rollercoaster

cliche at times, with bits that made me feel like i was reading a wattpad novel with how conveniently things fell into place, but overall : not as bad as i thought it would be.

think it handled dv in a pretty sincere manner in its own way, and i think reading the author’s note made the message more poignant. just. not really sure why it got all the hype.

also:: cannot get baldoni and lovely’s faces out of my mind. even more convinced now too that the “”costume”” choices for the movie were aWFUL.

I loved it. The ending was everything I needed it to be. It was amazing but so tragic at the same time. Lily is so strong.

Lily

   It was 2:44 AM when I finished reading it. I didn't know I would cry much more than I expected. It's so sad that I can't tell my friends how beautifully written this book is, since they don't read english books. I am relieved and happy with what Lily's decision is. I loved and hated Ryle for what he did to Lily, this makes me realize that sometimes sorry seems cheap. For Atlas, I loved that he waited for Lily to heal before he took a move. Although, I have read many spoilers from booktok and bookstagram, I thought it wouldn't hurt but I have the urge to cry silently thinking that I might wake someone. This one is the best and I can't wait to read more of Ms. Colleen Hoover's books. 

Ps. The ending was so good, I didn't expect it. Love you, Atlas Corrigan. xxx

It was fine. I didn’t like how the stories tied into each other.

Vanessa

I had mixed feelings while reading this story. I could feel very sad and hurt when the behaviors of abuse, toxic relationships, and attempted rape appeared in the story. I wanted to try to learn the best lessons from the author's experience, but there were many things that made me uncomfortable while reading this book. Particularly, when Atlas and Lily's relationship started when they were very young, or when Ryle and Lily's very confusing relationship can be resolved in a way that makes no sense. Although I didn't really like reading this book, but at least I got a lot of lessons and different perspectives after reading this book.

I found it very interesting, and I couldn’t put it down, toyed with my emotions and the book was good!

I absolutely devoured this book. First off I really despise Ryle. In the beginning I liked him then as the story went on I started to not like him. My favorite parts were when she was reading the diaries of her and Atlas. I was rooting for them the entire time. I loved Lily and Allysa's friendship

Spice level: 🌶🌶🌶

This book covers many different topics such as abuse love first loves and many more overall a really good book

Sasha malcolmson 

Well I was shocked long after reading the book because it contains subjects such as domestic violence (and I’ve never read about this subject before).

I’ve also felt related to the story between Lily and Ryan (maybe because it has reminded me of one of my own relationship, without the violent part though) so it was difficult for me at first to accept the reality of Ryan violence, just like for Lily. 

So I would say that this book has actually made me grow, and it made me realize things without me having to actually experience them. And I think that this is one of the most important role of books.

However, I think some sexual contents are to necessary, and it’s giving fan-service vibe, hence the rating.
