Great read of collen hover

Naked truths aren’t always pretty!!Before watching the movie, I devoured the book, and its lingering effects still resonate with me. Colleen Hoover masterfully transports readers into the world of Lily and Ryle, evoking emotions that mirror the characters' experiences - from the euphoria of romance to the anguish of abuse.As I turned the pages, I found myself irreversibly invested in their story, excusing Ryle's transgressions as mere anomalies, only to be jolted back to reality by the harsh truth. This book is a beautiful exploration of emotions, bravery, and the unwavering power of friendship.Through Lily's journey, Hoover skillfully conveys the importance of having a support system that shows up unconditionally. With its unputdownable narrative and poignant character development, 'It Ends with Us' is a heart-wrenching read that will linger long after you finish the book.

One of the best you ever read. Don't watch the movie and go for the book.

The book begins with the meeting of our two main characters: Lily and Ryle. Lily finished her studies and thinks about her future as Ryle is a skilled neuro surgeon. When love blooms between both of them, and they are close to their marriage, enters the hurricane in the form of a guy named Atlas, who was an integral part of Lily's past and her first love. This brings significant changes in Ryle and and unleashes the dark side of him. What follows after that makes up the book.This book was originality at its best! Really, every line came to life and it elicited so many conflicting emotions in my heart. I honestly don't know whether to feel sad or hopeful for the ending of the book. The characters were amazing and well crafted with layers and layers inside them. The first person narrative of Lily is perfect and gives an insight into her past and her feelings. The book's main theme is physical abuse that too from the person whom we love the most. It was conveyed well and the book was paced decently.Although this is no mystery or thriller, this book glued me to its content and manner of writing, and few books do that to me. Give this book a shot and be ready for the tide of emotions as you navigate through broken hearts, flawed souls and ocean of tears.

Loved it! Entertaining all through and not just a romcom. It is filled with emotions and engages you from the start to end.

The storyline is just wow and also worth it. Try it once and I recommen only an adult to Buy this there is nothing much like that but sometimes in between it is…

3.5 starsTrigger warning: domestic abuse, childhood traumaMy first Colleen Hoover book that I really wanted to read. And it turned out different from what I expected.I liked this book, mainly because of the easy and engaging writing style. But there are certain things I didn't like. And those things could have been handled in a more sensible way, and then this book would have been wonderful because it's a good, thoughtful story that conveys a strong message without being preachy.It started off on an interesting note. I liked the main characters, the way they met and their conversation, but then Ryle, a neurosurgeon who seemed like a very focused guy, behaves and keeps behaving in a ridiculous manner (like a beggar, really). The 'Make it stop’ scene is cringeworthy. Plus, there are so many unnecessary sex scenes.There could have been several other ways to make them fall for each other.And then there's Atlas. That teenage love story (of Lily and Atlas) was sweet. But it was implausible. I mean that poor, homeless guy is almost 19 and his situation was portrayed like he was some 13-14 year old boy who is alone and unable to find food/water, and doesn't know what to do. It would have been nice if his 19 yo character was a little independent or at least tried. Because I loved how Atlas’ character turned out in the second half.In fact the second half of this book is really interesting and sensible. Lily and Atlas bonding is very special actually (both as teenagerd and adults), and just for Atlas, I'm going to read the sequel, 'It Starts With Us’.‘...sometimes the things that matter to you most are also the things that hurt you the most.'The ending is satisfying, and for a change, the epilogue is so nice, which felt necessary.Overall a good, engrossing read!
