There is no such thing as bad people. We’re all just people who sometimes do bad things.

When I first picked up It Ends With Us, I didn’t know what to expect. I had previously labeled Colleen Hoover as a romance writer who churns out shallow, predictable fiction. I couldn’t have been more wrong. This book completely shattered my preconceived notions, delivering a powerful story that is anything but shallow. It’s a story that stays with you, challenges you, and makes you reflect deeply on life and relationships.

A Story That Goes Beyond Romance

This book isn’t just another love story. It’s a raw, emotional exploration of domestic violence, love, and self-worth. Through its characters, it shows the complexities of relationships, the good, the bad, and the heartbreaking. The book beautifully portrays how love can uplift and empower but also hurt and destroy when intertwined with abuse.

What makes this story unique is its depth of emotions and realistic portrayal. It’s not an easy read because it tackles sensitive subjects, but that’s what makes it so impactful. Colleen Hoover doesn’t sugarcoat the truth, she shows it as it is, leaving readers to feel the weight of each decision and consequence.

One of the most striking aspects of this book is how it redefines love. Through Lily, the protagonist, we see love in all its forms – romantic, platonic, and self-love. It raises questions in reader’s mind that: what does it mean to truly love someone?

This isn’t just a book about a woman in love; it’s a book about a woman rediscovering herself in the face of immense emotional turmoil.

For me, Lily’s journey is a reminder of the importance of self-love. While we often sacrifice our happiness for others, this book urges us to prioritize our well-being without guilt.

Unforgettable Characters

Colleen Hoover’s ability to create multifaceted characters is remarkable. Lily is not just a character; she’s someone you root for, cry for, and feel proud of. Ryle, with his complexities, and Atlas, with his unwavering presence, make the story even more compelling.

Every chapter felt like peeling back layers of these characters. You understand their motivations, flaws, and struggles, which makes their decisions even more heart-wrenching. The pacing is perfect, it keeps you hooked from the very beginning, and I found myself unable to put the book down.

Why You Should Read It

If you are looking for a book that makes you feel, think, and grow, It Ends With Us is a must-read. It’s raw, unfiltered, and unputdownable. The story is more than just a romance, it’s a lesson in resilience, courage, and healing.
