I had put off reading this book for a long time because I had heard very mixed reviews on tik tok - many loved it but many said it was over-hyped. I personally loved it and am sad I didn't read it sooner.

I really liked how the story line of domestic abuse broke up a typical romance book, it gave me a lot to think about throughout

. The main character Lily was very lovable and I ended up reading most of the book in one day! I would recommend this book to anyone about 16+ (it has some pretty adult themes throughout), it really made me more self-aware about these topics.

It Ends With Us was nothing like what I expected. I was so angry at the story. I wanted to give it a terrible rating and worse review but I realized it wasn't that I didn't like it, it was that it made me uncomfortable. 

There's going to be two types of readers for this book. Those that read it and are horrified because they know what's happening is wrong, and those who read it and feel every word in their bones because they have lived it. 

I'm so hopeful for the main character for book 2.

This is not a love story! 

I kept waiting to find out why so many people love this book and after reading it I still don't know.
Everything in the protagonist's life revolves around men. The supporting characters only serve to get her together and stay together with the male lead who is manipulative among other things. She is the stereotypical white girl who suprisingly realizes that not everyone is as fortunate as she is.
The plot was very predictable and the way the topic of

domestic violence

was handled seemed forced and irresponsible. In the post-interview the author reveals that she wanted to write a book based on her mom's experience with this topic which explains why it came a cross as forced to me
