If you are looking for a book that is emotional, real, and heartbreaking, It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover is worth reading. It is not just a typical romance story, it is deep, complicated, and deals with serious topics like love, abuse, and breaking cycles. The story follows Lily Bloom, a girl trying to build her own life after a difficult childhood. She falls for a guy named Ryle, who seems perfect at first, but things take a dark turn as she realizes her relationship might be repeating the same patterns she grew up with.
What makes this book hit harder than others, is the way it feels, as if it were real. Hoover does not sugarcoat anything. The emotions, the pain, it all feels raw. Lily’s decisions are not easy, and as a reader, you can feel how torn she is between love and self-respect.
This book is one that may be difficult to read, it is sad and has so many emotions. It made me genuinely appreciate the message behind it: sometimes the hardest choice is the right one.
