It Ends With Us By Colleen Hoover

    I have to admit, this is the 3rd time I have read this book. There are so many mixed reviews out there. I have to say though, this is one of my favorite books. As I began to read this book for the 3rd time, I found so many red flags that I did not see the first two times that I read it. Now that could be because I decided to tab and annotate this time around. I feel that this is one of those books that EVERYONE should read.

"15 seconds. That's all it takes to completely change everything about a person".

Ryle broke my heart into a million pieces. This guy has so many demons following a traumatic event that took place in his childhood. Years of therapy do not seems to help his anger and black out issues. You can honestly see deep down he is a good person. But like I said he has these demons that cause him to have the disturbing behavior. I can see exactly why he tells Lily he does not want to be in a relationship or to have children.

I Just love Lily's character. She is a very strong woman who also has overcome a past trauma. You can see that she tries hard to not compare her relationship with Ryle to the one her parents had. But let's face it, they were the same. This girl is tough and stands her ground a few times throughout this book. 

Atlas (swoon) Lily's first love. Lily helps him when he was at his worst. He had a rough childhood, but was determined to make his life better. Atlas in return helps Lily when her life falls apart. He was always the one that Lily could count on. These two belong together (and i cannot wait to see what happens next!!! It Starts With Us comes out October 18!)

"In the future...if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again...fall in love with me."    💓💓💓

Allysa and Marshall are just the BEST. I swear I want to be their friends, thats just how awesome they are! It's wonderful how they are there for both Lily and Ryle during the difficult times in their relationship.

Warning: This book will emotionally destroy you. Like I said I have read this 3 times and I was still ugly crying by the time the book was over. You just can feel the pain of the characters. But there are a ton of parts in this book that you will just laugh out loud. Then there are the parts where you sit there are are just like "AWWWW!!"😍 Give this book a chance and I promise you won't regret it!

"It stops here. With me and you. It ends with us."
