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).

« Sometimes the one who loves you is the one who hurts you the most »
« Sometimes the one who loves you is the one who hurts you the most »This is my first ever book by Colleen Hoover. She has several books that have gotten .#1 New York Times bestselling. I understand why this would be a best seller.I was sucked into this book from start to finishing. I absolutely needed to know what was going to happen to Lily. My heart was all over the place.« There is no such thing as bad people. We’re all just people who sometimes do bad things »There are certain characters I simply hate in this book and when I was reading what they did I simply wanted to yell at them. And then I would have my eyes water up because the love you feel between two people is without a doubt heartbreaking in the most beautiful way.“If you don’t want to be with me … please tell me right now, Lily. Because when I saw you with him … that hurt. I never want to feel that again. And if it hurts this much now, I’m terrified to think of what It could to do me a year from now.”At the end of the book there’s a Note from the Author where Colleen Hoover opens up about her parent and the abusive relationship between her mother & father. It helps to understand this book. — This books sheds light on women in abusive relationship that have trouble getting out of them, “who simply fell in love with men who didn’t deserve to fall in love at all”.

5.0 out of 5 stars Once you start, it's hard to put down!!

The story starts off with 23-year-old Lily Bloom, who's recently moved to Boston to start a new life, meets neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid one night up on a rooftop of an apartment. The two start talking, but don't meet again for a while after that night.
Eventually they fall in love, but their relationship soon becomes complicated and Lily realizes that Ryle isn't the perfect man. It all starts when Lily runs into her first love from her teenage years, Atlas Corrigan, who she had lost contact with years ago, and that did not sit well with Ryle. When Atlas Corrigan enters her life again- she has to go through many obstacles involving her relationship with Ryle. Will they overcome it?

Soo.. I'm going to try my best to NOT give any spoilers at all in this review, hopefully I can succeed. I literally read this book in under 18 hours!!! 18!!! Once I started, it was soo hard to put down & stop. Colleen Hoover is such an amazing writer, this is the first novel I've read from her & it will definitely not be my last. I wasn't expecting a lot of the things that happened in this novel, which I liked because that's what kept me so hooked and kept wanting to read.

I highly recommend giving this book a try. It is definitely worth the hype!! Colleen Hoover did an amazing job with this book, the story flowed so well and I love the way she interpreted everything. While reading this book I laughed, I cried, I smiled.
And I 100% enjoyed it!

This was a great novel - it is an easy read despite some of the subject matter. I've already picked up book two and hope to start on it very soon. It may be a bit of a trigger for anyone who has experienced DV though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional and Personal
Reviewed in Canada on August 15, 2016

Okay, so this review is a tiny bit spoilery, so if you haven't read the book, just know it starts out a bit slow, with a lot of background but really gets going in the second half and will blow every reader away. The spoilers pertain mostly to the set up of the story, and don't give away any major plot points, but I know some people prefer to go in totally blind!

This is a super personal story for the author, and I'm sure for many readers. It's touching and emotional in every way. I don't know that I would go so far as to say it is unlike anything Colleen has written before, but it has the uniqueness that pervades all of her books, while still following a similar journey of finding your way in life in your early 20's.

[start spoiler]

Naked truth: I didn’t love part one of this book. It was slow building and very focused on Lily’s past rather than immersing me in the current story. I get why – it’s very important context for part two, but I still didn’t love it. Part of what I loved about November 9 (my favourite CoHo book), was how quickly the reader is immersed in and invested in the story – because the characters live a whole year apart, and it makes the time actually spent together so much more dramatic and interesting. The set up with the diary entries isn’t my favourite style of writing, and so, I thought this book would end up being around 4 stars for me.

Then I got to part two. The story shifts pretty dramatically. The chapters are shorter and much more plot driven. Everything is more emotional, and it felt like everything I love about Colleen Hoover’s writing. It was heart wrenching and beautiful and so compelling I couldn���t stop until I was done. I loved every second of part two, even when it was tearing my heart into two parts. All the stars for part two. I think that evens out to 5 stars in general for the book.

This was a painful story, but one that I highly recommend. If you’ve loved Colleen in the past, just know that the first half is a little slow building, but please please please keep reading. It is so worth it. You’ll be a different person by the end, I promise. If you’ve never read Colleen or had no interest in her previously, read It Ends With Us even if you read nothing else by this author. I have a feeling this book will hit a lot of people very hard, and while I have no personal experience with the subject matter, I was loudly sobbing by the epilogue. I was so invested in this story and ALL of the characters. The last chapter was a punch in the gut in the best way, leaving me loving the overall story completely.

3.0 out of 5 stars The hype is a thing… not certain it’s the best
Reviewed in Canada on May 6, 2024

So, I’ve got mixed feelings on this book. I picked it up solely based on hype and didn’t research the story or how much domestic violence was it. I was genuinely excited to read it after the popularity of it and friends who enjoyed it….

As a child abuse survivor it was brutal and I was upset and angry for starting it. I was pissed off that this book was so popular, and pissed off that there wasn’t a trigger warning. I got about half way and thought I wouldn’t finish it, but then decided it wasn’t fair to DNF this book and have a very bias review of it.

So I continued and it was a quick read the way it’s written and I found myself upset with how many times Ryle assaults Lilly and just seemed unnecessary but again I’m coming at it from a different place…. The fast pace timeline bothered me, how quickly things went that seemed to glaze over most crucial parts of any relationships especially in their twenties.

The dear Ellen parts made me cringe but I also loved finding nemo and have said many times “just keep swimming”…. I use to find comfort in this line.

The storyline of Atlas and the creativity behind all of that, I enjoyed and really enjoyed it in book 2. The name Atlas was strange choice but I enjoyed this character. I liked the teenage love story and where it goes.

I guess where I’m left is disappointment that this book is so popular and some people’s favourites and I felt meh about it. I wanted to have that experience others did with absolutely falling in love with this book, but I didn’t.. and may be because of the content, I don’t know… but it was my first Hoover read.

Tiendo a no procurar mucho tiempo a mi lectura pero por fortuna este libro llegó para decirme que necesitaba dar más y valió 100% la pena. Es una novela muy humana que me ha permitido sensibilizarme a situaciones a que por fortuna en algunas me siento ajena pero hay otras en las que siento que son algo por lo que muches atravesamos. Es fácil de leer, entretenido, muy buena construcción de personajes. Lectura ampliamente recomendada. Sin errores de edición graves; en 400 y un poco más de páginas solo 2 palabras que sin mucha atención son imperceptibles. Lectura de calidad, hermoso!!

 The supporting characters, including Ryle and Atlas, are also well-crafted. Ryle is depicted with complexity, showing both his charm and his darker side, which adds depth to the narrative. Atlas, on the other hand, serves as a contrast to Ryle, representing a sense of safety and love that Lily craves.

Hoover’s writing is engaging and accessible, with a balance of poignant moments and lighter, humorous scenes. The pacing is well-maintained, keeping readers invested in Lily’s story from beginning to end.

Overall, “It Ends with Us” is a thought-provoking and heart-wrenching novel that sheds light on important issues while delivering a captivating story. It’s a book that will stay with readers long after they’ve turned the last page.

Yes! It really does live up to the hype.
Beautifully written, it’s relatable but could be triggering in parts, it’s sad but there’s hope and a way out. You get invested in the hope.

Yes it does have some rather steamy scenes but with a cold realistic take on what abuse can do to a young woman and how she’s brave enough to put a stop to it holding her abuser accountable. It’s empowering, thoughtful and gripping.

However I do agree with other reviews I’ve seen. The way it’s portrayed by a lot is more focused on romance when there is domestic abuse involved which shouldn’t just be swept under the rug when promoting the book to others.

I think the book is a real page turner and your sucked in by tear jerker moments and finally relieved after you’ve been routing for Lilly throughout.

Overall, I really connected with this book and I would recommend it. Coleen Hoover is a fantastic writer and I’ll definitely be reading it starts with us next.
