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 in Maine where she grew up - she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily's life suddenly seems almost 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.

With this bold and deeply personal novel, Colleen Hoover delivers a heart-wrenching story that breaks exciting new ground for her as a writer. Combining a captivating romance with a cast of all-too-human characters, It Ends with Us is an unforgettable tale of love that comes at the ultimate price.

Formulaic treatment of an important subject

Reviewed in Australia on 7 October 2021

Verified Purchase

Got to 20% and still wasn’t invested. Skipped ahead to see if it got better. Enough to see that the heroine had married a domestically violent man just like her mother did. The other person her father beat up was the homeless boy her 15 yo self was helping. It’s true that family dynamics often play out these kinds of repetitions. But this story doesn’t reach out into humanity: there’s something bleakly, soullessly narcissistic about it as can be the case with a first person narrative. The author is obviously intelligent and can write but the whole story feels spiritually and psychologically cramped. Trite even. I’ve turned to Jonathan Franzen’s new book with relief. There, wondrous humanity rolls out its carpets in all their glory and vainglory. Thousands will disagree no doubt: it is a best seller and there’s usually a good reason why books get into that category. This is a subject that needs a lot more nuance, depth and realism. Wisdom.

Falling

Reviewed in Australia on 29 December 2020

Verified Purchase

This story will draw you into a world that's often misunderstood and misrepresented by society. You will fall in love with the protagonist and feel intense emotions that will cause your heart to contemplate the issues of love and passion as she finds herself falling in love with the perfect man who is ultimately flawed just like everyone else. What character flaws are acceptable and what character flaws are unacceptable are explored in depth. Wave after wave of the people who shape our hearts and therefore our perspective will challenge your heart. Falling in love and remaining in love are truly distinguished by the choices we make along the journey. That's what I was able to receive reading this truly naked truth tale of love.

Unforgettable

Reviewed in Australia on 7 September 2021

Verified Purchase

It has taken me a few days to to get my head around this book. The story was profound, and so so heartbreaking. I really did feel heartbroken for Rylie because I don’t think he really wanted to be what he was, I don’t know if he could of changed but as Lily could see, it wasn’t worth the risk.
Lily was such a strong and beautiful character who struggled with her love for Rylie and what she new was right. This book is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+ read and everyone should read it.

Not quite five, still beautifully written

Reviewed in Australia on 26 November 2021

Verified Purchase

This opening alone, without even the author's name attached is a one click!

"As I sit here with one foot on either side of the ledge looking down.." If only every book opened this way.

Told trough Lilly's POV, her story, this book is both beautifully written, heart breaking and real. It's also something you need to be in the correct mindset to read, content warnings might be absent, but it's not as sweet as the cover suggests. Life never is.

The missing star - it felt rushed. Detailed, emotional, then rushed in the last moments.

Heartbreaking

Reviewed in Australia on 26 November 2021

Verified Purchase

This was heartbreaking to read.
Lily grew up in an abusive household. Although he never touched her, her father beat her mother and Lily often put herself in between them. She couldn’t understand why her mother didn’t leave.
Then she meets and falls in love with Ryle, and just when she thinks that she has everything she could wish for, he hits her.
She has to decide if she can forgive him and move forward. And just to make matters more complicated, since running into her first love again unexpectedly, she can’t help wondering how things could have been different.
This was such a hard read - what I thought to be so black and white has so many grey areas, and I ended up feeling torn by the decisions Lily makes and wishing things not to play out as they did! It also made me feel very grateful.
I would recommend the read but it comes with a trigger warning. It was so well written and I wasn’t surprised to learn at the end that it based on the author’s true experience.

Just Keep Swimming....

Reviewed in Australia on 5 March 2021

Verified Purchase

It Ends With Us surprised me. A different read of Colleen Hoover’s, one written direct from the heart. My heart was really torn reading those book for many reasons. I felt for Lily, I felt for Atlas, I felt for Ryle and I felt for Lily’s mum. This book really made me sit back and think about what I would do, in her situation. What’s right and what’s wrong and in whose opinion?

Lily’s strength to make the right decision not just for her but for others on her life is remarkable, though sometimes I just wanted to shake her, but I loved reading about her teenage years and her 24 year old self. When life got tough, she just ‘kept on swimming’ hoping every wave led her to happiness and the right decisions.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, I really just could have kept reading!

Compelling

Reviewed in Australia on 2 September 2021

I was so worried when I was reading this book that it was going to almost glorify domestic violence. I have had so many people recommend it and say how beautiful it is. And wow, it’s so many things. A compelling story that leaves your heart a little sore. Couldn’t have finished more perfect for me. A tremendous insight to brave women.

Is there an Us? 4.5*

Reviewed in Australia on 28 April 2017

Verified Purchase

This is about Lily, Atlas, the homeless boy she saved & then the new man in her life Ryle. The latter was focussed on his career & a non committed life. It was one of those Insta attraction moments for both. But what happens if your past collides with your present?

Do you really know someone? So if you've been the victim of an abusive relationship that often turns out to be the case esp from first impressions. I must admit Ryle did show us his real side then but like many others I don't want to believe the way the course of their lives changed. I know this is done so authors can tell their story. (Don't get me wrong I didn't condone his actions OK !)

I also feel there wasn't enough of Adam in the latter part of the story. It just lacked something for me before it became more.

After all the drama, Lily's ending was one we have to assume worked out for her but it ended too abruptly for me. I don't like being left hanging without it all being tied up. But this is a work of fiction & it's one we have to deal with.

Wow. The power of social media.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought this book because of raving reviews about it on TikTok. Well the power of social media worked because I bought it and I can’t say I was anywhere as impressed as I thought I would be. In fact I wanted to stop reading it several times because it felt so cheesy. The storyline and events were sad topics but three quarters of the book was a cheesy love story that often made me cringe. As a lover of chick lit, even this was too much for me. I personally wouldn’t recommend. Sorry.

Bodice Ripper nonsense

Reviewed in the United States on 1 January 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this because of the reviews. I have not read any of Ms. Hoover’s books, so I didn’t know what to expect. However, 100 pages in and I’m not going to finish. This is a bodice ripper “romance” novel. Not even a well written one, frankly. It’s baffling that books like this still sell in 2020! Nothing empowering. Women swoon over handsome doctors and sleep with them even when they “aren’t that kind of girl” because the doc is handsome and rich so...”let me go pretty myself up so he can have his way” blah, blah. What rubbish! I seriously don’t understand the reviews, but then again I never read any of that “50 Shades”garbage so I guess there is a market, it just isn’t me.
Anyway, don’t expect great literature with this one. In fact, set expectations really low and maybe you can get through it. Me? Life is too short to waste any of it on crappy books.

And that just ends with that.

Reviewed in India on 4 February 2020

Verified Purchase

This book was sitting on my shelf for so long. Finally, I decided to read it for Backlistbookathon.

I'm not a Romance lover and definitely not a Colleen Hoover lover. This book was yet again just like her other books: characters with horrifying past, they meet suddenly, sparks flew, fall in love at first sight, and etc.

Whole plotline was predictable. I could tell from the start what was going to happen.

Writing was not that amusing too. I find it simple and well it's a good thing. I don't mind simple writing as long as plotline is good.

But here that was not the case. Just after reading two or three pages I started cringing. Every page was cringe worth.

Only good thing was the attempt to send a message through of domestic violence and the helpline number and resources at the end.

And that just ends with that.

A powerful book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 February 2021

Verified Purchase

I'd heard so much about Colleen Hoover, I just had to see what all the fuss was about - so I picked up this book, and boy was I glad I did. It Ends With Us is compulsively readable with a heartbreaking and powerful story. The characters are so well drawn, there is no black and white here - which is hugely important considering the subject matter. To make your reader fall in love with a character and also hate them is quite a feat. I also really liked the simple yet sharply observed descriptions of how the characters moved; I don't think I've ever visualised that so vividly, and it really added to the action in each scene. I was completely drawn in and sat staring at the book long after I'd finished it. Thank you Colleen Hoover for bravely writing this story.
