It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
5.0

Let me give you an advice: if you want to read this book start it early in the morning and take a day off because you will be busy all day. Reading.

I started this book at 1 a.m. and it was the worst and the best decision I've ever made. The book is unputdownable to the point I didn't sleep until 6 a.m. and woke up after 4 hours of sleep to finish it. It was so worth it.

This book is everything. It's inspiring, educational, packed with emotions and rollercoasters. I loved every minute of it, although I cried 70% throughout the reading.

What a brutally realistic world. I could connect with the characters so easily, I felt empathy even for the characters that maybe didn't deserve it. Witnessing this situation from Lily's point of view was so shocking for me. I never have judged people who lived in an abusive relationship but I was always asking myself: "Why don't they just quit?". This book gave me answers and proved me nothing is just black and white. I fell in love with all of the characters from the book, even Lucy who, I felt, was a little bit unnecessary. The plot was amazing too and the whole book is brilliant. It was definitely worth the wait.

Thank you Colleen for this amazing book, for giving strength and inspiring your readers through your talent in writing. Thank you for making me understand this sad and cruel reality some people live in. You are amazing!
