It Ends with Us

By Colleen Hoover

Book Overview

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).

Customer Reviews

Arrived in disgusting condition

Sorry, I’d love to review the content of the book, but the condition it arrived in was so poor that I literally threw it in the trash. I ordered a “like new” copy and it was bent and beaten up with mystery stains (on the binding and on the pages) and trash stuffed inside. Super disappointed and grossed out.

Relatable

I grew up in a home with domestic violence. I saw my mom go through a lot of abuse. This book hit deeper for me because I pictured my mom in it. My mom did leave my dad and that wasn’t easy. I like how the book showed the honeymoon phase before the abuse starts and how it grows. Her mom was an important part of the story and I liked her character. I am ordering the 2nd book now.

Ripped my heart out

The book had me locked in from page 1. It had me happy, hopeful, angry, heartbroken then happy and hopeful again. When I tell you I was in tears throughout half the book believe it. One of my favorite books.

Worth the read!

Captivating, beautifully detailed. I finished both books in the series within 3 days! Wonderful set!

Great read!!

This book was my first read by Colleen Hoover, and won’t be my last! This book gave me all the feels. Definitely recommend and definitely read the second!

Best book I have ever read!

This book brought me to tears so many times I couldn't put it down. The roller coaster of emotions about a marriage hit me in so many ways that I could relate to. Please read this book!

Unputdownable!

A page turner for sure! It's a captivating, traumatic love story.

Read this book before watching the movie

I read Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover and also purchased Verity. When I saw this movie come out based on the book, I knew I wanted to read the book first, before I saw the movie. (Always the best thing to do) I wasn't too sure what I was about to read, but was hooked immediately in the first couple pages. Not to reveal any spoilers, but I was shocked to know that the two main characters actions and scenarios are based on what Colleen herself witnessed growing up as a child with her parents. This made the book even more impactful for me. Domestic violence is horrible in any form, but especially graphic for children to witness. This book implements a deeper understanding for those suffering from it to take a stand, and cut it off at the source.

Oh My Gawd!!!

I loved this book! With the movie being out, I wanted to read the book first. I have zero regrets. Finished the book in less than a week. It was so hard to put down. These characters are so beautifully well written. You can feel the emotion jumping off the pages! Some scenes are so difficult to read, you feel the rage and melancholy. Just an enjoyable read. You find yourself rooting for some while you are awaiting the demise of others. If you have not read this book- what the heck are you waiting for!

All the emotions!

This book was so breathtaking! I could not put this book down. I ended up finishing it in two days. There is so much emotions going on that kept me reading.

I was pleasantly surprised

Amazing read. This was my first book of Colleen and I was hooked! She's on my favorite authors list.. I love how she handled a Tough subject with grace and care..

Good read

Nice easy read that is captivating. Finished quickly.

One of the best book series

It ends with us, and it starts with us oh my goodness absolutely fantastic book. I had a 7 year break from reading and these books are what got me back into my love for reading! I highly H I G H L Y recommend them! Finished it ends with us in 2 days because I couldn't put it down. 5 stars 10 out 10!

One of the most powerful books I've read in a decade

I will keep this short to prevent myself from posting spoilers (because I want to talk about all the things!). Colleen Hoover has written a masterful work with "It ends with us". She tackles a very difficult subject that is so very relevant now in a way that is so meaningful, thoughtful, and respectful to all of those involved. I cannot thank her enough for writing this book. I've already shared it with a friend who also enjoyed it. This is one of those "word of mouth" books that people just want to talk about after they've read it. I just love it.
