Details on how to purchase the book can be found here. It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover was published on 1st May 2017 by Simon & Schuster. A novel with a vital underlying message accompanying themes of power, choice, depth, personal strength and emotional sway, It Ends With Us is a universal feel novel that will easily find a way into your heart. This perceptive writer also delves into Lily’s world, giving us a good insight into this woman’s emotional pain, conflicting emotions and fluctuating feelings. Hoover explores the tussle in the love stakes with the two male leads, Ryle and Atlas well. There is so much heartache to experience in this one! Hoover seems to excel in this department as this umbrella theme underpins the whole novel’s narrative direction. Ultimately, It Ends With Us is a damaged love story. This is where I admired Hoover greatly for her ability to remain impartial despite her difficult background. However, I will make it clear that Colleen Hoover is extremely respectable in her approach to these vital subject areas, thanks to her own personal history. For some, It Ends With Us may hit a little too close to home for some readers which is why I issue a trigger warning in regards to domestic violence and emotional abuse themes. Lily’s life is a solid representation of many women right now, in the past and in the future. Lily’s experiences are very connective and relatable. I got the feeling that Lily could easily be our friend, sister, colleague, or just someone we know. I immediately warmed to lead character Lily, Hoover’s sympathetic lead. A book that will leave you quite raw, exposed, conflicted and teary, It Ends With Us is a hard-hitting modern romance title. What life will Lily choose?Ī salient personal dedication from the author soon gives the reader a clue as to what they expect to encounter when they open It Ends With Us.
