Take us to another place, another time? An escape - albeit a momentary one - from these dark times??Yes!!! It surely does!!!It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover, hooks u from the start and compels you to complete it at one go.(Spoiler alert!!!)This book narrates the story of Lily, Atlas and Ryle. It's a love story that will stay with you, long after u turn the last page.It deals with a topic that resonates well, especially during this pandemic times, when we hear so much about domestic abuse.It's more of a love story but also narrates about domestic abuse in a very subtle n effective way. The fact that this book was inspired by Colleen's life, lends it an authentic touch to it.This book is very special to me, as it's my first Colleen Hoover book n i also returned to fiction after a span of 4years plus!!!Someone once said to me "Nothing new gets into your heaf, if u read non fiction alone" couldn't agree with him more!Fiction liberates you!!!

Please try again later.Reviewed in India on 31 August 2022 Verified Purchase I expected a frivolous romance novel, but I must say this one surprised me. The story is about Lily Bloom, who grew up in a household where her father physically and sexually abused her mother. In spite of the abuse, Lily’s mother doesn’t leave her husband, which leads Lily to believe her mother is weak, and Lily swears never to end up like her. As an adult, Lily meets a neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid – he is charming, loving and committed. But over time, Lily discovers a side to him that brings her dangerously close to repeating her mother’s cycle. After reading this book I was confused as to how I felt about it. On one hand, there is a clear depth to it; the book talks about abusive relationships in a raw, vulnerable way that makes you think about the mental and emotional trauma involved, as well as the complexity of such relationships. On the other hand, there is also a lot of what I see as juvenile romance – irrational, childish expectations from relationships, overflowing emotion, tantrums, rapid switches between extreme highs and lows, and levels of drama that no rational adult would ever subject themselves to. I also struggled with Ryle’s character in the early stages of their relationship. In the beginning of the book, he goes to great pains to emphasise how much he hates relationships (which in itself is no sin), and yet the second he meets Lily his entire personality flips and suddenly he is willing to do anything to be with her – and once that happens, he is the sickeningly sweet picture of an overly devoted boyfriend who wants to spend every moment complimenting his girlfriend and wanting to have babies. What brought about this drastic change?? Honestly, I found this transformation hard to believe. After reading the book, my aversion to romance novels remains unchanged, but I did find myself feeling much more empathy for victims of domestic abuse – the author’s own experience in an abusive home lends so much more authenticity to the experiences her characters go through – I witnessed how our tendency to judge people who go back to their abusers might not always be warranted, for although it seems black and white, the complexity of abusive relationships is not easy to navigate. There are several reasons why one might go back to them without being weak or brainwashed, and I myself have become far more sympathetic to the need to listen and understand before making assumptions and judging someone who is in that same position.

Reviewed in India on 5 September 2022 Verified Purchase Reviewed in India on 18 August 2022 Verified Purchase This book had such good pacing!
I did not even know when i finished it. It kept me in the whole time and lived up to its hype. Reviewed in India on 15 August 2022 Verified Purchase This read takes you to the world of naked truth... Fight or flight and what you choose. So proud of you Lily... And the climax is just the best part of the book. Reviewed in India on 23 August 2022 Verified Purchase Every one with a heart MUST read this book. 5.0 out of 5 stars It’s impossible to describe in one line 😭♥️ Every one with a heart MUST read this book. Top reviews from other countries1.0 out of 5 stars 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. 1.0 out of 5 stars 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. 1.0 out of 5 stars I DIDNT GET THE RIGHT BOOK!!! Reviewed in Canada on 25 September 2021 Verified Purchase The media could not be loaded. the cover is the same but the book on the inside is different!!!!! How did this is even happen????? 5.0 out of 5 stars 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. 1.0 out of 5 stars Not even the same book! Reviewed in Canada on 25 September 2021 Verified Purchase I got this in the mail with the correct cover and everything. Flip through the pages to see its an entirely different book inside called "Manchild in the Promised Land". I am sure that is a great book but was not what I ordered and I am truly disappointed. Is It Ends With Us worth the read?It Ends With Us is one of the most powerful books of 2016 and one of the most raw, honest, inspiring, and profoundly beautiful stories I've ever read. It wasn't anything like what I expected, but it delivered so much more than I ever hoped for.
Is It Ends With Us difficult to read?It Ends With Us characters – 4.5/5
It shows their raw emotions, their “naked truths” as they often refer to one another and a book built purely on trust and honesty. Having these two incredible protagonists makes some of the plot moments very hard to read and make you wish Hoover wrote them differently.
Does us end with 18+?18+ This book is one that is for readers above the age of 18, as it contains a lot of adult material. There is a ton of sexual content within the novel (detailed below), and the book centers around the topic of domestic abuse. Abuse scenes are graphically described and can be disturbing at times.
Is the book It Ends With Us steamy?This book has some steamy sex and some scenes of violence which may be a trigger for some. I devoured this book in a few hours and it seriously choked me up. I won't be able to get this one out of my head for a long time, and I now must read the rest of Hoover's books!!
