"A brave and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn't let go, long after you've finished it" Anna Todd, bestselling author
From the #1 bestselling author of All Your Perfects, a workaholic with a too-good-to-be-true romance can't stop thinking about her first love.
Lily hasn't always had it easy, but that's never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She's come a long way from the small town where she grew up-she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily's life seems too good to be true.
Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He's also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn't hurt. Lily can't get him out of her head. But Ryle's complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his "no dating" rule, she can't help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.
As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan-her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.
With this bold and deeply personal novel, It Ends With Us is a heart-wrenching story and an unforgettable tale of love that comes at the ultimate price.
after getting so many recommendations on tiktok about how good this book is I thought I'd give it a try. But now that I have finished I have to say it is really overhyped. It has got a very basic story line, romanticizes abuse and toxic behaviour, and is written like a story you would find on Wattpad. Not to mention some unnecessary parts like writing a diary to Ellen Degeneres, what was the reason for that??

It ends with us war das erste Buch, was ich von Coleen Hoover gelesen habe. Ich habe es viel auf Instagram gesehen gehabt und wollte selbst sehen, ob es mich begeistern kann. Und das kann es definitiv.
Die Themen die hier in hoher Intensität angesprochen und dargestellt werden sind keinesfalls leichte Kost, denn diese Thematik ist sehr ernst. Ich hatte zu Beginn Bedenken, ob es mir persönlich zu viel seien könnte und ich nicht damit klar komme, doch das war nicht so.
Colleen Hoover weiß wie man mit Worten umgeht und die Leser im tiefsten Innern erreichen kann.
It ends with us hat mir gezeigt, dass Liebe manchmal so viel mehr ist als für immer an jemandem festzuhalten, sondern dass Liebe manchmal auch bedeutet die richtige Entscheidung zu treffen und loszulassen.
Lily ist so eine starke, liebevolle Persönlichkeit, welche soviel verkraften und erleben muss. Atlas ist ein wahrer Traumtyp, trotz seiner Verschlossenheit und seinem selbstlosen Handeln. Und Ryle kann so romantisch sein und hat dann aber doch seine erheblichen Schwächen. Natürlich macht jeder Fehler denn niemand ist perfekt. Aber hier (was ja auch der Sinn des Buches ist) wurden mehrmals Grenzen weit überschritten und es kam zu unverzeihbaren Fehlern über die sich meiner Meinung nach auch nicht diskutieren lässt.
It ends with us tut zwischenzeitlich weh. Sehr weh. Mein Herz hat geblutet und ich habe Rotz und Wasser geheult. Es hat mich so sehr berührt.
Ich würde es ohne zu zögern jedem empfehlen. It ends with us steckt voller Romantik, purem Herzschmerz, traurigen Szenen, ernster Thematik, tiefgründiger Vergangenheit und so viel Realität. Ich habe es geliebt und kann dem ganzen Hype tatsächlich nur zustimmen.

Before I’ve read this book, I was kinda scared. That it wouldn’t life up to its hype. That it’s a bad portrayal of abusive relationships. That it wouldn’t take the trauma, which abusive relationships brings with it, quite seriously enough. But boyyyy, was I wrong.
“It ends with us” is a story about two young people, Atlas and Lily. They both grew up in abusive families, though they are quite different. Atlas’ family is poor, and his mom is all by herself, with a few occasional “guests”. On the contrary, Lily’s family is middle class, her dad has a good job, her mom is around, and Lily can go to school. They meet, when Altlas is kicked out of his house and is homeless. They fall in love, it doesn’t end well, they loose touch. Years later, Lily is married and a florist, Atlas successfully runs two restaurants. That’s where they meet again. Lily gets abused by her new husband and Atlas tries to help her. Anyways, I won’t tell you more because I might spoiler you and who wants that? Even though I came late to the trend and most of you have already read it.
Me, bawling my eyes out, alone, in a café in the middle of Amsterdam. Yes, this is how this book has left me. Quite destroyed. And I have so many thoughts, I won’t even be able to communicate all of them to you. To answer my own question, I don’t really think it’s overhyped. It might not be the biggest literary success to have ever been created, but what makes this book so good is the story and the way it makes you feel about the characters. Because after the first one, I was not able to hate Ryle, even though I really wanted to. It really gives you something to think about. Even though I’m currently not able to understand, and I hope it will stay that way, I see all the reasons victims of abuse would stay with their abusers. And I think this book showed us all the different aspects and views. For my part, I really think this was the reason Colleen Hoover wrote this book. Not to make us feel love or whatever, like her other books, but to make us understand. And I loved the fact that Colleen’s Mom has lived to something similar, because that makes the story more realistic and fact-based. More of a biography than a love-story.

A rather heavy love story about a girl who is torn between two men, one from her past and one who might be her future. Trigger Warning for physical abuse in a romatic relationship.
