This is absolutely amazing. It Ends With Us made me so emotional to the point that I was sobbing by the end of the book. I really loved the scene where Lily tells Ryle that she wants a divorce and Ryle was telling her to reconsider, and then she asked him what he would've done if their daughter came up to them and said her boyfriend/husband had hit her. It was beautifully written.
Also, the Epilogue was amazing. The last line was absolutely perfect.
Honestly, Colleen Hoover did such an amazing job because wheneverRyle got mad and hit her, I'd make excuses for him in my mind like "you shouldn't've done that in the first place" and I'd catch myself the next second realising how wrong and toxic that mindset is. Colleen really wrote the book in a way that made it seem like you're actually in Lily's place/situation so you get these mindsets that a lot of women have when they're in that situation also (eg, making excuses).
This is a 100% recommend from me! 👍🏻
