‘In the future . . . if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again . . . fall in love with me.’
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.
With this bold and deeply personal novel, IT ENDS WITH US is a heart-wrenching story and an unforgettable tale of love that comes at the ultimate price.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a beautifully written and realistic exploration of domestic violence. The storytelling is honest, emotive, and breathtaking, with characters that readers fall in love with. The book shows an accurate portrayal of the condition of women who are abused and their journey to move on. It is a powerful and empowering read that leaves a lasting impact. While there are a few negative reviews, the overall consensus is overwhelmingly positive. Highly recommended for those seeking a heartfelt and thought-provoking story.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5As soon as I started reading this novel, I knew it was a winner. It was suspense with a sprinkle of romance. This is the second book I have read from Hoover, but definitely not my last. I find her writing captivating and unique. If you have not read any of her novels, I encourage and recommend you do because she's g-o-o-d!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wer Colleen Hoover kennt, wird wissen, dass ihn keine seichte vor sich hin plätschernde Liebesgeschichte erwartet sondern eine tolle Story mit fantastischen Charakteren und Tiefgang die lange nachwirkt und genauso war es hier auch.Ich habe mir 8 Seiten Notizen gemacht aber ich glaube ich könnte das ganze Buch wortwörtlich wiedergeben so sehr ist es mir hängengeblieben.Lily ist in einem Elternhaus voller Gewalt aufgewachsen, sie musste nahezu täglich mitansehen wie ihr betrunkener Vater ihre Mutter verprügelt und gedemütigt hat. Sie hat ihre Mutter nie verstanden, die immer die Wunden versteckt hat und die Situation versucht hat abzuschwächen und ihren Vater in Schutz zu nehmen.Als Lily selbst in eine vergleichbare Situation kommt sieht sie wie schnell man in die Opferrolle rutscht und wie schwer es ist jemandem den man liebt etwas nachzutragen.Ich bin nun wirklich am Ende, bin komplett zerstört und habe sooo furchtbar geweint. In den 5 Tagen die ich brauchte für das Buch habe ich eine emotionale Achterbahnfahrt durchlebt. Ich habe mit Lily mitgelitten, habe mit ihr geweint und sie in den Arm genommen, ich habe geschimpft und war richtig wütend, habe verständnislos mit dem Kopf geschüttelt und vor Rührung und Freude geweint, war genauso erschrocken und entsetzt wie Lily und ich weiss nicht ob ich so mutig und stark gewesen wäre wie sie sich am Ende präsentiert hat!Die richtigen Worte dafür zu finden – Lest bitte (UNBEDINGT am ENDE ) das Nachwort! – fällt mir sehr schwer – ich schreibe die komplette Rezi nun nochmal neu weil ich das Gefühl habe, dass meine Worte dem Inhalt nicht gerecht werden, dass ich nie transportieren kann was sie bewirkt haben, wie toll sie ausformuliert waren und was sie alles in mir bewegt haben.Das ist mein 5tes Buch in diesem Jahr und ich bezweifle schon jetzt dass ich noch eins finde welches dieses hier vom „Jahreshighlights-Thron“ schubsen kann. Ich bleibe kaputt und tief beeindruckt zurück!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A million times thank you for writing this book. Best thing I’ve ever read
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5loved every bit of it.. too emotional... brave and bold story!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It’s very different, it’s real and it definitely not what I was expecting. It’s a true love story. The love a mother has for her child.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This wasn't romance. This was LIFE. No freaking fairy tale here.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Really good book but not meeting my expectations as i got this recommendation from tiktok,this is my second collen hoover book though
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did. But it was really good and a very quick read. I know people can be critical about the writing, but if someone can write a book that I just get sucked into and I don't even realize the pages are going by and going by, then that says something. I did get sucked into this book and took a turn that I wasn't expecting it to. I didn't realize this was about domestic violence and not the over the top stories or books that you typically read. It shows how hard it can be to leave someone. How they make a mistake and they apologize and you think it will be OK. It was just a one-time thing. And everything is OK for quite some time, and then something happens again. She gave him three tries before she finally leaves him. And the drama that ensues. And she's pregnant with this kid. Atlas plays a part too, her love from when she was very young. And if Riley wasn't such an asshole, it wouldn't have been a thing. But because he was...well. I read the second book so I can't remember where one ends and the other starts....hahahah get it. Starts...ends. Oh well. I enjoyed this book and then even more when the afterward says it's based on her mom's life.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/54.5] i'd obviously heard so much discourse about this book online before i got round to reading it, but i really wanted to give it a fair chance and form my own opinions on it before reading ton much into the others. it definitely opened my eyes and made me consider a lot of things. i was even rethinking my own [preformed] opinions, i loved it (so much i changed from 4 to 4.5 stars)!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The first three-quarters of the book is your ordinary chick lit. Maybe not so ordinary as you seldom read about domestic abuse in the relationship of a young and good-looking couple. The book came into its own when Lily Bloom took the courageous decision to cut the cycle of abuse and break up with Ryle. She didn't want to end up like her mother, who bore a lifetime of domestic abuse till the death of her husband. Aside from the main storyline of Lily and Bloom, I also like the subplot of Lily and her mom. She told her mom that she froze when giving her father's eulogy but she didn't fool her. Her mother knew it was because her daughter did not have a good thing to say about him.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I've never cried so much in my life. I love how I could resonated with a character, even if I didn't resonate with a character it was still beautiful to read.
Favourite book I've read by far. Beautifully written.
Will I be judged if I start reading it again? Hehe x - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5This was not for me. Basically it was soft-core histrionics. After growing up in with an abusive father, she vows to never stay in an abusive relationship, but she does.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'm reading this book because I saw the trail for the movie coming out late summer and I loved it. I don't read a lot from this author but being able to picture the characters faces from the movie has made this a very compelling book to read. I'm going to read the follow up book on this for the same reason and hope the movie is well done.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Be prepared
It's a tear jerker. Trigger warnings include abuse, mention of suicide, intended rape. The last half you may need a box of Kleenex or maybe I'm just feeling extra sensitive. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It took courage to use domestic violence as a backs bone for the story line, but I am glad that it was written and hope to encourage abused spouses to walk away from a bad situation.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'm giving this audiobook half a mark more because it drew me to the end, which is rare enough these days. It had a few interesting twists. I didn't know what it was about before I started, and I may not have chosen to listen if I'd known, but the author's take on this issue was fascinating to me as I didn't know anything about it. It was discouraging to think that the main character had had therapy since the age of 6 and yet he still wasn't free of uncontrollable rage. I had to fast forward through the letters to E DeGeneres - these were way too long, but otherwise the pace was fairly good.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Somewhat didactic story of multiple instances of domestic violence. As usual with Hoover, the plot is partly driven by extremely unlikely coincidences. The men are bad, people have lots of money. Pregnancy is a fantasy world.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I've laughed, I've cried, I've felt all the feels in between. The book is simply perfect!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Wow this was a rollercoaster of emotions for me but it was a fun read. Really wanted Rily to change though but nevertheless it was amazing.
I love the storyline it was really good one of my fav reads of the year. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. The story was compulsively readable, but I can't say I liked it. It was a heartbreaking picture of an abusive relationship, but the letters to Ellen and the behavior of Ryle in his early meetings with Lily just felt off to me. At least I know what everyone is raving about now, though it's not for me.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A real emotional roller coaster of a book. Some parts make you smile, some are deeply uncomfortable, and some heartbreaking.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I absolutely loved it!! While reading this novel I felt a whirlwind of emotions. Thank you Colleen for sharing your story in a beautiful way
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5?? so good. It made me cry. I recommend this novel to everyone
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book shows an accurate condition of women who are abused by their husbands and how lily got out and eventually moves on
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5alot of it i loved the whole
book and atlas is really
nice - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Looking at the book I knew it was going to be awesome and trust me it didn't disappoint, I highly recommend
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I never thought emotions could be the hero of a story. It always is a human, or the story itself. But Colleen did it beautifully. The turmoil, the crest and trough, the falling and picking oneself up again, and after all, continuing to swim. A beautifully penned tale that ends with, technically a heartbreak, but is actually liberation. I loved Colleen's stories earlier, but I respect this one with all my heart. Heading straight to It starts with us.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Where do I begin? Amazing book and couldn’t put it down. A huge twist. Sensitively and beautifully written.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It has been an interesting journey with this book. My first read has made me fall in love with the writer not only did she vividly depicts what happens in a most abusive home, but she gave us hope that everyone has a limit of what they can take in and when it gets to that you better push that 'it's enough button.'
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love it, if made me emotional but it’s a good book
