Colleen Hoover has the magical ability to keep me up way past my bedtime to read her books. I was up until 3AM reading It Ends With Us. Then after sleeping for a few hours, I woke up and continued reading it. To say that It Ends With Us is an emotional roller coaster that broke my heart is an understatement.

I literally had no idea what It Ends With Us was about, but as soon as I was offered the opportunity to take another part in CoH0's newest book, I jumped at the chance. After reading one of her previous books, she easily became one of my favorite authors, and I think I will read anything that she writes from this moment forward. Once I had a copy, though, I didn't read the synopsis, because I hardly ever do, and dove right into this without the slightest idea what to expect.

Woah.

I can't say much about It Ends With Us without spoiling the story, but this book is so much more than just a romance. CoHo is known for taking a romance and twisting it a certain way that literally breaks your heart, and It Ends With Us is probably her most emotional book. And it's so difficult to write my feelings without giving anything anyway that I don't know what to say.

Things I loved about It Ends With Us
- All the characters
- That it made me laugh (in public = I got lots of stares)
- That it made me cry (real tears, I even sobbed a few times)
- That it's a romance
- But also deals with tough stuff
- The story line
- The unexpected things that I don't even see coming
- How it helped me understand things I didn't before about a very difficult subject
- It hurt my heart
- Made me feel all kinds of feels
- The ending

Things I didn't love about It Ends With Us
- It kept me up until 3AM
- That I am done reading it

I guess it's easy to see that I very much loved It Ends With Us and am Colleen Hoover's newest, biggest fan. I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves romance, contemporary, adult fiction, books about tough subjects, and everyone else. This book is amazing and definitely one of my new favorites.

hard read, a lot of scary feelings especially as a woman reading this book. Emotional but inspiring book.
dark emotional reflective sad fast-paced

I've read three of Colleen Hoover's books, incluing this one, and none of them had exceptional writing or strong three-dimensional characters. It is her depiction of complex and impactful stories that make her books so good, and It Ends With Us is no exception.

When people talk about this book, its always about Atlas. But its so much more than that. It Ends With Us shines light on abusive relationships and being homeless in a way that the reader understands what it's like to suffer from those situations – something many authors fail to do. Its a very sad and emotional story that made me cry more times than I care to admit.

While I am not particularly fond about Hoover's writing, this is her best work. This book is incredibly quotable. There are so many quotes that relate to human nature and relationships that really make you think and wanna cry.

Focusing on the characters, I loved all but one. Atlas is, of course, the most perfect man ever. I can't wait to explore more about his current character in the next novel. I really liked Marshall. He brought in some desperately needed comedic relief. But my favourite, probably in the whole book, is Allysa. She's quirky and honest and an incredible friend. Her and Lily's bond melts my heart.
