This book was complicated for me. It did a great job of getting you to love the characters and in the very smallest way, understand what someone might go through

when they face physical abuse

.

I was uncomfortable with the book but also couldn't put it down.

I can't believe I read another CoHo book after swearing off her years ago... I got curious, okay? And it was *gasp* pretty good? Better than her other books at any rate.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ - The plot hit home for me, but the writing felt incredibly weak - like a fanfiction. 

This is the second Colleen Hoover book that I've read. Verity was the first. It Ends With Us was not at all what I expected the book to be about. I loved how the book sought to highlight the struggles of being in an abusive relationship and how it truly isn't a black or white issue. I loved how Hoover showed that Ryle had very admirable sides to him as well as very evil sides of him. I truly felt for Lilly that, despite her upbringing, she still found herself in a similar situation as her parents.

This book could have easily been a 5-star read for me, but it just never stuck the landing. I may give another Colleen Hoover book a read, but I think it boils down to me not liking her writing style. I just wish it were a bit stronger. Lilly was supposed to be a 23/24/25 year old girl in this book, but the writing made me think she was 16. The journal entries made me think she was around 12 or 13. I loved the content of the book, but couldn't get past the writing.

I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to better understand the complexities of abuse. Not everyone has the resources that Lilly had, or a husband who is willing to let them go, but the essence of the book is still good.

This book is all about domestic violence and how complex it is. The books has several scenes that may be disturbing to some folks.
