SOMETIMES THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU IS THE ONE WHO HURTS YOU THE MOST
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, and maybe even a little arrogant. He's also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily, but Ryle's complete aversion to relationships is disturbing.
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. It Ends With Us is an unforgettable tale of love that comes at the ultimate price.
This book contains graphic scenes and very sensitive subject matter.
currently bawling my eyes out8/10/2025 edit: literally what was I on reading this
I really love books that make me FEEL and, man, did I feel with this book! Anger. Sadness. Real tears fell from my eyes. It also made me feel a little toxic/crazy for finding myself wanting to justify some of the behaviors that take place in this story. But I think that is the point. It opens your eyes to what it may feel like to be on the inside of a situation that we can easily find ourselves judging from the outside. This book was raw and powerful. Though I didn’t dislike her by any means, Lily (the main character and only POV) was my least favorite character. I don’t feel like her character had much personality because so much of her POV was just focused on the relationship with Ryle. My favorite parts of her were the journal entries of teenage Lily. I’m excited to delve more into her and Atlas in the next book and am hoping to see more of her adult personality come through with chapters in his POV.
