    Don't miss IT STARTS WITH US, the sequel to IT ENDS WITH US. Available now... 

    THE MULTI-MILLION-COPY GLOBAL BESTSELLER. SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOVIE. 

    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.

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      Wer 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!

      It Ends With Us is brilliant. It's a bit out of my comfort zone, since I'm mostly a science fiction and fantasy reader, but every now and then I like to dive into the contemporary section and dabble in a bit of romance (and no, this book is not romance, despite its marketing, however there's romance in this book.)Don't read up on this. Don't spoil yourself. If you don't mind a bit of romance, like contemporary and strong female characters, pick this one up and dive right in without knowing anything.Trust me.It has amazing, well developed characters. The plotting is tight, the pacing quick and the prose is very enjoyable. Lily is such an approachable protagonist. She's hardworking and ambitious and she's got a whole bunch of emotional baggage she's dragging around. I loved reading about her.This is a powerful story and a smart one, one that knocked me down and made me cry, and if you want to know why, look it up on Goodreads. Plenty of reviewers talk about what this book is about, and I know not everyone likes to go in blind, and that is okay.At the end of the novel there is a personal message from the author which explains the motivation for writing this book. Read it after you're done with the book, and you'll get knocked down a second time.I hope writing this was cathartic for Collen Hoover. I've never read her before, but I admire her a lot for writing this book.
    • 3/5
      novel of two halves – one half predictable, cliché ridden romance with a hint of love triangle. The second half emotionally rich with real depth and heart covering important topics with maturity. Plot in a NutshellLess is probably more here. A story following the unfortunately named Lily Bloom as she settles in a new city, makes friends starts her own business and falls in love. Her relationship with Ryle is threatened when an old face from her past reappears. ThoughtsI found myself frustrated by this book from the get go. All the characters are written with a depth that I was not expecting from this author based on her earlier New Adult novels. Lily, Ryle and Alyssa are all well defined characters and we see them grow and evolve as the story progresses. Eschewing the dual point of view I was expecting the whole story is told from Lily’s point of view and she is an honest and engaging narrator. As she makes friends with Alyssa the reader does to, as she connects with Ryle we also get to see the emerging relationship and how it impacts both parties. To offset all this great character and world building there are some elements that I found it difficult to get past. One – the names. Lily Bloom was distracting and the idea of the poor homeless boy from Lily’s part who had been suffering alone until he met Lily being called Atlas had me snorting aloud. Two – the jobs. Lily is a florist. Yup- Lily Bloom is a florist. Alyssa’s husband is a multi-millionaire. Ryle is not just a doctor but a neurosurgeon. This all felt a little silly and distracting. Then just when I was in danger of giving up altogether along comes the conflict and the emotional impact of seeing these well developed characters struggle to deal pulled me right back in. Where initially we had cliché after cliché Lily, Ryle and Alyssa’s responses were nuanced and challenged me to think and respond as well. So in conclusion glad I read it and would recommend others do so given the honesty with which Ms Hoover writes the latter half of the novel but you do need to watch out for the first part.
    • 4/5
      As 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!

    • 5/5
      loved every bit of it.. too emotional... brave and bold story!
    • 5/5
      It’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.
    • 4/5
      This wasn't romance. This was LIFE. No freaking fairy tale here.
    • 3/5
      I 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.
    • 4/5
      A real emotional roller coaster of a book. Some parts make you smile, some are deeply uncomfortable, and some heartbreaking.

      Looking at the book I knew it was going to be awesome and trust me it didn't disappoint, I highly recommend
    • 5/5
      I 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.
    • 5/5
      Where do I begin? Amazing book and couldn’t put it down. A huge twist. Sensitively and beautifully written.
    • 5/5
      It 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.'
    • 5/5
      I love it, if made me emotional but it’s a good book
    • 5/5
      This book is amazing. I fell in love with the characters and felt their ups and downs. One of the best books I have read. I laughed and cried.
    • 4/5
      As much as I despise reading or hearing the f-word, I am glad I overlooked it to finish reading this important, heartbreaking story about a young woman who falls in love after witnessing her parent’s unhealthy marriage.

      Lily’s story is an eye-opening perspective about how challenging it is to navigate a relationship without having decent role models.

      This provocative, thoughtful story resonates with naked truths.
    • 4/5
      I started this book because of all the hype. But as I began reading, I thought "Meh." Got to the middle of the book and thought, "Meh." And finally, at the end I found "Now this is what all the hype is about." Colleen Hoover has a wonderful description of domestic violence victims who can't leave their abusers. You understand their love and how they are led to believe it may be their fault and if they just do something different it will all work out. How difficult for victims. If you find the book lacking in the beginning, just keep with it. It's worth it in the end.
    • 5/5
      This was a really good book. Well written and easy to stay engaged. Definantly would recomend.

      Awesome work Colleen. I couldn’t put it down. Love, Laughter and lots of tears. Thank you for writing a real story!

      Whoa. I can't believe this was Colleen Hoover I just read. Such a good read, and one that hit close to home.
    • 5/5
      Absolutely beautiful. It's so realistic, a story many can relate to but only few have the courage to live up to.
    • 5/5
      Realistic. Emotional. Gut-wrenching and liberating all at once. And with the capacity to reflect each as truly human: strengths, weaknesses, flaws & demons, wins & losses. Absolutely loved it!
    • 5/5
      So fucking good omg I had a love hate relationship with Ryle but now I can't wait to see what it starts with us holds.
