It Ends With Us: The emotional #1 Sunday Times bestseller (Lily & Atlas, 1)

Product Information

In case you don’t get the writing on the wall, Atlas is being set up as the most perfect perfection that ever perfected. Ultimately, this story is about finding the strength to break such a cycle, and I think Colleen did a good job of showing Lily's journey to this point. Gostei bastante, mas amei mesmo foi quando li a continuação e vi que todos tiveram as consequências e destino que mereciam. As such I often found myself irritated at the chapters that focused on Lily and Ryle's developing relationship and when they're all loved up, as the tone just wasn't really for me, and to be honest was a bit cringey. While there she meets and falls for Ryle, a thriving neurosurgeon who is determined to be the best in his field.

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.My glaring 1 Star in a sea of 5s probably makes it pretty clear that I detested this book, but please refrain from fetching your torches and pitchforks for a moment and take note that not only did I just 5 Star a CoHo Story two weeks ago (as well as shoved it down everyone’s throats I possibly could), but also I want to make all of the sexuals with Miles Archer and will fight anyone for dibs on his imaginary lurv making.

Hoover's willingness to explore the darker aspects of love and life sets her apart, allowing readers to connect with her characters on a profound level. And I believe at the end of the book, Colleen should have written one page with the cycle of abuse and how it was shown throughout the novel, and a conclusion expressing that if you love Ryle, you should not, because everything that he did, he did it consciously and with purpose, through manipulation and guilt-tripping (weaponizing his trauma).When she falls in love, we fall in love; when her heart is broken, our heart is broken; when she gets it all wrong, so do we. I'm sure that Colleen wants the reader to like Ryle to begin with, and yet to me he felt off from the very beginning. This is a book about love, loyalty, friendship and domestic violence and its complex and it was an interesting read.
