Could not put this book down, better than the film, I felt every emotion that was expressed within the words of this book, a must read

Honestly, I know there is some controversy surrounding this book after the movie was made, however I have to appreciate that this is the book that ultimately got me back into reading and I still would argue that this is an ideal book for a first time reader… I said what I said.

Great read

This isn't the type of book I usually read, I usually read psychological thrillers, including the ones by this brilliant author. I absolutely loved this book. Definitely one of the best books I've read and I read around 2 a week. I cannot wait to read the 2nd one and will definitely be reading all of Colleen Hoover's books.

Read this book in one sitting and cried more times than I’d like to admit. It’s heartbreaking, messy, and totally worth the emotional rollercoaster. If you want to feel ALL the feelings, this is your book. Bring tissues!

Another book recommended by a friend. It did not disappoint

📚✨ Book Review: It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover ✨📚This review has been the hardest for me yet, but I’ve settled on 3.5 stars for several reasons:Easy Read: I stayed up a few nights, not wanting to put it down. Colleen Hoover's writing style is engaging and accessible, making it a breeze.Lily and Atlas: The relationship between Lily and Atlas is beautifully crafted. Despite their sad circumstances, I was rooting for them all the way. Their bond is heartwarming and filled with hope amidst the turmoil.Lily and Allysa: The friendship between Lily and Allysa is wonderful. It’s like the friend you always wanted—supportive, caring, and always there when you need them.Emotional Rollercoaster: This book is a real emotional rollercoaster that tugs at your heartstrings. The raw emotions and difficult themes are sensibly portrayed, making you feel deeply for the characters.Slow Build-Up: The story has a slow build-up and gets interesting about halfway through the book. While the pacing might deter some readers initially, the payoff is worth it once the story picks up.Based on True Events: Knowing that this story is based on true events and reflects real experiences adds a layer of authenticity. It highlights the reality that no matter how much we want a happy ending, it doesn’t always happen for certain characters.I'm looking forward to starting the second book - It Starts With Us and for the movie coming out in August!
