It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

So I finished this in 2 days and felt soo satisfied with the ending! I’m excited for the sequel to come out now!

Someone recommended this after we had a chat about our recent reads and I told her I needed a feel-good page-turner and this delivers exactly that.

If you enjoy meaningful prose with detailed descriptions and gorgeous scenery against deep dialogue, this isn’t for you. This is YA/Romance/Women’s fiction (taken from her goodreads info) so take that into consideration.

But #TW, it deals with domestic violence, sexual assault, relationships, friendships and so much more.

Lily meets Ryle on a rooftop after attending the funeral of her abusive father. She needed a moment to herself after a difficult service.
Ryle is a neurosurgeon who meets Lily after a difficult surgery where he lost his patient who is a young boy and needs to let off some steam.
The connection is instant and the sparks and sexual chemistry flies between them as they share intimate truths straight away but he doesn’t do relationships and she’s not into one night stands.

After a few chance encounters, an eventual relationship between the two begins but that’s until she meets Atlas. The homeless boy who saved her life just as much as she saved his during her teenage years. The first person she’s ever loved and someone she never thought she would see again.

I won’t give away any spoilers but yeah the @colleenhoover hype is real!!

I’ve always loved reading as a kid because it was one of the few Asian-mum approved hobbies although she would have preferred ‘less novels and more school books’! I also grew up in the Harry Potter era so that’s when I really remember falling in love with reading. (Big up my Y7 English teacher for reading a few pages of Philosophers stone at the end of every lesson! You were a real one Mr Williams!) I love being part of this book page (even though I slack massively due to lack of energy and concentration!) because sometimes it felt like a lifeline to help keep me sane. We started it during the time I was feeling really shitty about my Crohn’s disease. It’s been a tough 7 years and the last 3 have probably been the hardest especially mentally so when Linda suggested putting this page together, without hesitation I was down and I’m so proud of us! Writing reviews helped me to organise my thoughts and even resulted in me creating a second Instagram page (@AnOstomateForLife) about my Crohn’s journey. Yes that was a shameless plug and I’m not sorry! Along with reviews, I’ve also loved the creative side of things such as having input in our logo, creating our bookmark and taking book pictures even though it’s awkward af in public! So a few of my fave books: The Godfather by Mario Puzo (made me love the film even more! I’m a self-proclaimed movie buff too btw), Autobiography of Malcolm X by Malcolm X and Alex Healy, The Harry Potter series (obviously), Jemima J by Jane Green, Moonlight over Manhattan by Sarah Morgan, Where’d You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple and We Should All Be Feminists Chimamanda Adichie.
