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.
It Ends With Us is the first book in the It Ends With Us duology by Colleen Hoover. I'll start with what irked me. The letters to Ellen. They were a little much. I feel like we needed all that background info, but I really wish it wasn't through letters to Ellen. That made it a bit cringey, in my opinion. I do appreciate her bringing attention to domestic abuse through this story though. I feel like this wasn't as extreme as a lot of stories portray domestic abuse to be, but that makes it just as important. In real life, the woman may think it's "manageable", but it could easily have escalated to an extreme case. There are all kinds of domestic abuse. No case is the same. There really is quite a bit more I'd like to say, but I feel like I've already said too much. If any of this applies to you or this book speaks to you... you can break the cycle too!
