It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Starts with Us and All Your Perfects, comes a “brave and heartbreaking novel that grips you and refuses to let go, long after you’ve reached the end” (Anna Todd, bestselling author). The story revolves around a hardworking individual named Lily who finds herself caught between a picture-perfect romance and lingering memories of her first love. This compelling tale is soon to be adapted into a major motion picture featuring the talented duo, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

Lily’s journey has never been easy, but that hasn’t deterred her from striving for the life she desires. She has come a long way from her humble beginnings in a small town, working her way through college, relocating to Boston, and establishing her own thriving business. When Lily encounters Ryle Kincaid, a charming neurosurgeon, sparks fly and everything in her life suddenly feels too good to be true. Ryle possesses an assertive and at times, stubborn demeanor that may border on arrogance. However, beneath his exterior, he is a sensitive and brilliant individual who carries a deep affection for Lily. It doesn’t hurt that he looks incredibly attractive in scrubs as well.

Despite the growing connection between Lily and Ryle, his staunch aversion to committed relationships becomes a cause for concern. As Lily becomes the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but question the reasons behind his emotional barriers. Alongside the complexities of her new relationship, thoughts of Atlas Corrigan, her first love and a significant tie to her past, start to resurface. Atlas was not only her confidant but also her protector. When he unexpectedly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle becomes threatened.

It Ends with Us is an honest, evocative, and poignant novel that leaves a lasting impression. Described as “a glorious and touching read, destined for permanence on your bookshelf,” this book speaks to the heart and prompts reflection on the complexities of love and life (USA TODAY).
