I kept trying to guess what I thought might happen next and in classic Hoover style she managed to surprise me. This beautifully written novel explores the power of timing, forgiveness, and second chances, reminding us that love can truly conquer all. Hoover's ability to create authentic, relatable characters and craft compelling narratives has earned her a devoted following, affectionately known as the "CoHorts. As a Social Care Worker, I’ve studied the reality of domestic violence and was interested to see how it was portrayed in the book.

We are introduced to his character when Lily finds him kicking a chair out of anger, something unacceptable and very worrying. It Ends With Us is a courageous and poignant tale that explores the complexities of love and the strength of the human spirit. Although I wholeheartedly respect the personal nature of this story, the author’s note does not exempt this work of fiction from criticism, especially when it comes to a topic as serious as domestic abuse. and as you read more, these pieces of the story come together forming a scenario that gives such a raw, honest portrayal of an incredibly relevant issue.According to Google (all hail Google) less than 2% of the world’s population has red hair, and yet 99. It was my outlet, my excuse for the tears that wouldn't go away, the tears that kept falling despite my desperate protest.

I wasn’t a huge fan of Lily writing her letters to Ellen and I didn’t really care at first, but in the Acknowledgement section of “It Ends With Us”, Colleen actually says thankyou to Ellen DeGeneres saying that she is “light when it comes to darkness”.lily is obsessed with ellen degeneres to the point where ellen actually becomes the 4th main character of the story.

It's a story of unshakable love and finding the strength to make the right choice in the hardest situation.

However, from the beginning of the book, Ryle is already portrayed as a concerningly violent and manipulative man. Other than the quotes that I’ve disagreed with like “There’s no such thing as a bad person, only people who do bad things”, I found that Colleen Hoover’s writing flows well and that she has some iconic, well thought out quotes. I loved that this is one of those books you experience differently (in a good way) both the first and second time though. An awful situation that too many women (and men) find themselves in, this was a new perspective for me. So, if i stumble upon a poor review on one of my books and end up in the fetal position on my kitchen floor surrounded by Ding Dong wrappers, well, I'm blaming it on you.
