thoughts on it ends with us?

love it

i loved the book itself, but i have apparently an unpopular opinion, and i really didn’t like the ending. i wish she would’ve helped ryle instead of just ditching him. i know he was messed up, but he asked for help. he knew he had issues, and practically begged her to help him. she just moved onto atlas and i didn’t completely like that

I thought that too, but I think atlas was just a better person overall and lily obviously needed her space from Ryle after what he did to her.

oh yeah atlas is for sure better than ryle. and she definitely needed space from him, but i do think after a certain amount of time she could’ve helped him. especially since she was still letting him see their child. i wouldn’t want an unstable person being with my kid lmfao

i actually agree so much lmao

I agree. It all came very sudden and it turned too fast. If it weren’t for the second time I would have forgiven him tbh… I do ship Lili and Atlas though. Have you heard their story is coming up? Like from where they left of. It’s Atlas and Lily’s story «it starts with us» so exited!

10/10 book. I literally read it all in one day. I couldn’t put it down. It amazes me how easy it was for Colleen Hoover to make us fall in love with Ryle even through everything that he did. Even I wanted to sympathize with him at the end and men are my least favorite creatures on earth. After taking some time to think, this book really depicted how easy it is to say something you mean but then have that something be hard to actual follow through with. Sometimes we do love the people who hurt us the most and it’s really hard to let go of them because maybe they showed us love that we had never felt before. I’ve never been in a relationship where it was this toxic or even abusive but this has definitely opened my eyes to how these relationships come to be and why it’s so hard for people to get out of them, if they ever do. Colleen Hoover did a great job, as she always does, and I can’t wait for the sequel. I’m rooting for atlas.

*spoliers

I LOVED It Ends With Us. LOVED. It impacted me and actually scared me. I have so many emotions attached to that book. I am terrified something like that will happen to me. But honestly what scared me the most was that while i was reading it i was still backing Ryle after what he had done. And then i just though what could happen to me if i was in that situation because in not as strong as Lily and would probably not be able to leave him or even understand what was happening to me.
I cried so many times. And i still think about this book sometimes.

Having experienced the same thing as Colleen Hoover (my father hit my mother) let me tell you that if you don't have the strength not to leave for you you will sooner or later do it for your children especially be careful and take good care of yourself ❤️

The book was a 10/10. Absolutely obsessed with it.

I was satisfied with Lily's decision to leave Ryle since staying together would have been bad for their daughter. I love how Lily didn't let her daughter go through the things she went through. Lily deserved so much.

Also fell in love with Atlas like I love him so much and I just want to hug Lily and Atlas both.

Lily had come such a long way and I honestly was so proud of her <3

i loved that book sm, i could identify myself to lily cuz i have been through similar things, my dad was also abusive and i was so happy when my mom divorced him. So i knew why it was so hard for lily. All in all this book is definitely a 10/10
btw i want atlas so bad ughhhhh

SPOILERS

I swear I cried so hard when he pushed her, and then when she didn’t take atlas

i absolutely loved it. i could relate to lily, not in terms of her backstory and the family she grew up in, but more like the way she perceived the world and the feelings she had towards life and the things that happened to her, which only caused to have a very deep resentment towards kyle for everything he did. atlas is just the absolute love of my life and i adore them reconnecting at the end of the book, she’s so much smarter and mature, i love to see who she’s grown to be. i. can’t wait for it starts with us to come out

I’m reading it now I’m like 63% done and I’m like unbelievably heartbroken. Ryle I was like so in love and was smiling ear to ear and then I wasn’t. I’m so sad. No joke not Harry Potter and the deathly hallows as book made me sob .. 🫠😂

atlas>

To be honest I liked the book but I think there are better ones

Atlas>>>

10/10 really loved everything about that book.

Is it worth reading? I don’t know I’ve started reading it and stop after like the first few chapters. Soooo many of my friends absolutely LOVE it which is why it’s so annoying that I can’t get into it. Is anyone having this problem?

i loved this book and i wish i could read it for the first time again. i really wish she would’ve helped Ryle though.
