Wow! Just wow! Colleen did it yet again. This story is just better than anything I’ve ever read. Yes, it was cliché. But aren’t we all thirsty for a cliché love? I loved the main characters, how she portrayed them. And what I loved the most and shocked me even worse, was the plot twist. Never had I expected it would be such a mind blowing plot twist. The ending made it all for me. It was the most cliché ending I ever read but still made me shed a few tears. It wasn’t as sad as I thought it would be, I mean yes it broke my heart, but I didn’t cry as much as I thought I would because deep inside me I was sure CoHo wouldn’t let me down with the ending. So, yeah. 100% recommended.

This has been the longest I’ve taken to read a book. It was of my liking, I thought that I’d cry rivers because of this books but I rarely even shed a tear. The title gives away a lot, but what made me finish this book was the way how they’d die. For me it, the first few part were kind of boring. The chapters were to long and the time was passing by slow. I liked the many POV’s Adam try to insert in this book but I’d definitely not read this again. I’ve heard that Adam’s other book History Is All You Left me is good, so I’ll be giving it a try.

I still think about this book. I have never fell in love with a character as I did with Evelyn Hugo. I wish will all my heart she were really, but the fact that TJR was inspired by Marilyn Monroe for the main character of this book makes me really happy, I’ve always felt this comfort in Marilyn. This book broke my heart and it was such a beautiful experience. You can see throughout the book how Evelyn always divided her life by her husband and what she thought of them. This book makes you think about your greatest love and your true love.
Loved it and I’d definitely read it again just for the heartbreak of it.

Another of my favorite CoHo books. I’m just saying that this book has my heart, I never expected the plot twist and the love stories was everything were beautiful. This book is so beautiful, I’d recommend you read it. For me this book is a 4 stars because I would’ve liked more a slow-burn romance but I felt like it happened so fast although, they didn’t fall in love instantly, they did started a relationship based in sex very fast.

I love this book with all my heart. Every time I look at my book shelves and see this book, a part of my heart breaks. I have read three books of Colleen Hoover and I can say that she’s my favorite author. All of her books have great characters and the plot twists never miss, this book was no exception. It Ends With Us broke my heart, then fixed it and when I least expected it wrecked my whole soul. This such a beautiful book with really good writing and the author’s note just made it all for me.
I’d recommend to look up trigger warning before reading this, I didn’t know what I was getting into when I picked this book and I’m so glad I did.
