It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover Book Review:
I went in blind when I picked up It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover to read. I didn’t read the blurb, didn’t read any reviews nor did I research its popularity. The only thing that sealed the deal for me was the author. I have read several of Colleen Hoover’s books and loved each one. This one is no exception.

Book Quotes from It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover
It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover Book Review:
A book that broke my heart and then stitched it back together, I adored It Ends With Us. A story that is all too common and familiar and yet forbidden to be discussed and addressed, this is a brave attempt by the author to bring forth an honest and unbiased picture of people who do and of people to whom these things happen. We often hear incidents like the ones discussed in this book but how many times does anyone truly understand the inner struggles of the people involved and their helplessness to get out because they don’t have the support from friends, family, and society.
"Cycles exist because they are excruciating to break…Sometimes it seems easier to just keep running in the same familiar circles, rather than facing the fear of jumping and possibly not landing on your feet."- #BookQuote #ItEndsWithUs… Click To TweetCycles exist because they are excruciating to break. It takes an astronomical amount of pain and courage to disrupt a familiar pattern. Sometimes it seems easier to just keep running in the same familiar circles, rather than facing the fear of jumping and possibly not landing on your feet.”
Book Quotes from It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover
Without revealing the plot, I will just say that Colleen Hoover takes up two major social issues and brings them to light in a new perspective. I was shocked and ashamed to admit that I was among the people who question why the victims don’t do anything. It is so easy to comment and so difficult to really be in their shoes and experience it first hand which I did while I read this book.
Things I liked:

Book Quotes from It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover
I laughed, cried, felt empowered, and then impressed as I followed Lily. I loved Ryle and Atlas, both handsome and charismatic men but with one major difference that set them miles apart. Lily’s relationship with both of them sets the pattern for the story and showcases two types of love, both powerful but only one is the right kind.
Conclusion:
"In the future… if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again… fall in love with me.” “You’re still my favorite person, Lily. Always will be.”- #BookQuote #ItEndsWithUs @ColleenHoover + #BookReview on… Click To TweetIn the future… if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again… fall in love with me.” He presses his lips against my forehead. “You’re still my favorite person, Lily.
