It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
4.0

This book surprised me. I read it based on hype around the author, and expected something more along the lines of speculative fiction and romance. The book starts out very much like a romance, which is not my genre. Even so, it was not really a vapid romance. Hoover made it interesting with multiple timelines, and this grows into a good mechanism to discover the protagonist’s history with domestic abuse. The story rounds out with domestic violence against the protagonist, but it is couched in circumstance that helps you look beyond the black and white and consider the plight of the abused and helps you look beyond victim blaming. And then of course it ends up with a well wrapped up happy ending. The author had a message and it was delivered well.
