It Ends With Us Honest Review
It ends with us book is a life lesson book, I personally had lots of fun reading this book and I think that’s what people should be looking in when reading, my emotions with this book was wow. I was blushing, kicking my feet, crying, mad, screaming, but at the end I was relieved I was done. It was a lot to take in but I loved it! 5 stars!

Amazing Book
Normally I tend to enjoy books because of how relatable the characters are, but this one's different. I find this book powerful.
Personally, I think we shouldn't romanticize this book because yes, there is romance but there is more depth to the story. There is violence, domestic abuse, and attempted rape. These sound horrible and they are. They happen to a lot of people, so romanticizing this book means romanticizing abuse and that's very very alarming.

On another note, I find the characters in this book really interesting. Like Lily is one of the best characters I have ever read about. I loved the way how imperfect, independent, strong, and emotional she is. Also loved Allysa and the friendship between Lily and Alyssa. The romance part in the book was good and Atlas is where I fell for this book. The diary entries about the love they shared when they were young are impeccable.

I know the book ended how it should have ended, but I was hoping that Ryle would too get a happy ending. I know he was at fault but there is still a part of me that longs for a happy ending for him. But overall I loved this book and I can say that this book is by far my favourite book of Colleen Hoover.

Enjoyable and great for readers that like romance and tragedy
I think this book demonstrates lot about subjects of abuse which I loved but for others may be a bit triggering. I would say if you want something with drama and literature about abuse this would be good for you. The way the author describes the characters and takes a lot of factors into context to make it realistic is admirable.

It is amazing
"It Ends with Us" by Colleen Hoover is an emotionally raw and powerful novel that explores themes of love, loss, and domestic abuse. The story follows Lily Bloom, a young woman who is determined to break the cycle of abuse that she witnessed as a child.

The book is masterfully written, with a gripping narrative that keeps the reader engaged from start to finish. Hoover's characters are complex and relatable, and she expertly weaves together their stories to create a powerful and thought-provoking novel.

One of the things that set "It Ends with Us" apart is its honesty and authenticity. Hoover doesn't shy away from the difficult topics of abuse and trauma, but rather delves into them head-on, exposing the harsh realities of domestic violence and the toll it takes on its victims.

Through Lily's story, Hoover shows that breaking the cycle of abuse is not easy, but it is possible. She also highlights the importance of speaking out about abuse and seeking help when needed.

Overall, "It Ends with Us" is a stunning and unforgettable novel that will leave a lasting impact on its readers. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of domestic abuse and the strength it takes to break free from it.

Justttt wooowwww

At some point, it has to end
Where should I start...in the beginning, it was a little bit confusing for me but the end got me so emotional. I loved how this book gave a total description of all the character's behavior, it had so many details to everything which helps you to be part of that book. It made me realize that people sometimes try to pretend like they don't see the negative things the other person has because they care way too much about them in order to pretend to themselves that, that person will change. In other words, people usually try to not pay attention to reality or in the case of Lily's mom, she tried not to pay attention to what her husband was doing because she felt like she would be nothing without him and she wouldn't have somewhere to live, especially when she has her daughter. Another lesson it gave me, is that when you observe a situation from the outside, it's easier to say that you would leave and change something but when you get to live that situation, you understand the perspective of view of the person that was going through that situation.

What do i think of "it ends with us"
I gave 5 to this novel because I admired the way that Colleen Hoover made me feel intrigued in the story. And also the story was so realistic and I knew for the first time how the women who get abused feel and think. The cover of the book is so attractive and it's an excellent idea to captivate our attention.
