It Ends with Us

Colleen Hoover

3.91 AVERAGE


I’m not sure how I feel about this book. It was very readable, but the presentation of the abusive relationship at the centre of the story isn’t sitting well with me. It may present what the author thinks to be a real and raw description of the complexities of emotions in an abusive relationship, but I’m not sure we need a story that glamorizes the abuser. I’m not sure this book does that, but I am left unsettled.

This book. This book. It was so emotional. Like. An emotional rollercoaster?? The domestic abuse education and the talk about the struggle mentally between love and pain. With no love, there’d be no pain- god. Ahhh. Read it read it read-

Fav Quote:
"All humans make mistakes. What determines a person's character aren't the mistakes we make. It's how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses."
