Review: It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

Sometimes it is the one who loves you who hurts you the most.

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.

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. 

With this bold and deeply personal novel, Colleen Hoover delivers a heart-wrenching story that breaks exciting new ground for her as a writer. Combining a captivating romance with a cast of all-too-human characters, It Ends With Us is an unforgettable tale of love that comes at the ultimate price.

My 5 Star Review:

I have had this book on my shelf for a while now. I have been so busy that I forgot it was there.

Then I was talking to my coworker and she said "OMG you have to read this book, now."

So I just finished this book and it is 2am.

I am overwhelmed with emotions right now. It feels like half of my heart is hurting and the other half is filled with so much joy.

I am not going to go into details with you because this book, this story deserves to be read with fresh eyes.

I will share this...and this was a heart-stopping moment for me. After reading this I turned to my husband and just asked him to hold me and he did with no questions asked.

"In the future...if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again...fall in love with me." He presses his lips against my forehead. "You're still my favorite person, Lily.

Atlas said that to Lily and right then and there I knew that this book was more than just a book to me.

Colleen Hoover you are an amazing writer and I just want to say thank you for writing this story. You have touched my heart more than you will ever know.
