In this “brave and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn’t let go, long after you’ve finished it” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author) from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All Your Perfects, a workaholic with a too-good-to-be-true romance can’t stop thinking about her first love.
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.
An honest, evocative, and tender novel, It Ends with Us is “a glorious and touching read, a forever keeper. The kind of book that gets handed down” (USA TODAY).

Product Review: It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
Colleen Hoover’s latest novel, It Ends with Us, is a riveting, emotionally charged narrative that captivates the reader from the very first page. As the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All Your Perfects, Hoover has a stellar reputation for crafting stories that are both poignant and relatable, and this novel does not disappoint.
Plot Overview
The story centers around Lily Bloom, a determined young woman who has fought hard to escape her troubled past. Now a successful business owner in Boston, Lily appears to have everything she could ever want, especially after meeting the charismatic neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid. But, as with many things that seem too good to be true, surface-level charm often conceals deeper issues. Ryle’s contentious view on relationships begins to create tension, leading Lily to reflect on her first love, Atlas Corrigan, whose sudden reappearance complicates her life even further.

Emotional Depth: Hoover’s writing is both raw and relatable. She dives deep into complex themes such as love, trauma, and personal growth, making it impossible for readers not to empathize with Lily’s journey.

Well-Rounded Characters: Ryle and Atlas are not your typical love interests; they each bring their own set of challenges and complexities to the plot. Readers will find themselves torn between the two, questioning the nature of love and attachment.
-
Reflection on Real-Life Issues: The novel tackles heavy societal themes, including domestic abuse and the cyclical nature of relationships, with sensitivity and authenticity. This makes it not just a romance novel but a thoughtful commentary on the struggles many face.
-
Inspirational and Empowering: Lily’s journey from a small-town girl to a successful entrepreneur resonates with anyone who has ever fought against the odds. Her story is a testament to resilience and strength.
- A Lasting Impact: As noted by USA TODAY, it’s “the kind of book that gets handed down.” This speaks volumes about its potential to leave a lasting impression on readers, making it a perfect addition to any personal library.
