4.75

the way that lily acts towards ryle when he claims he would change made me extremely mad, like leave him permanently!! but overall it was a rollercoaster of emotions and made me EXTREMELY tense during some parts and those are the kind of books that i LOVE. it displays acts of physical abuse from spouses/partners and also tells you options on what to do. i love how this book displays what some women/men have to go through. according to me overall, i give this book a perfect 5 according to the storyline and pace! (took me 3 nights to read it whole because of how the book had me CLINGING) but according to my emotions, a 4.75 because of how often i cried (not joking.)

Colleen Hoover-It ends with us (suom. Sirpa Parviainen) 

3.5⭐

Finished at 22:12 on 26th of november

This book made me cry, laugh, cringe, disgusted and sometimes all of it. Especially the end, the end made me feel empty. 

It deserves 3.5 stars, the writing was okay, cover is just text and bland, spicy scenes were written very well and traumatic scenes were written well too.

I think the cover is a refence for the 2nd time Ryle assaults Lily, when he drops the flower pot and they stare at it. 

This book got me out of the reading slump that I was in for months at a time!

I wish Atlas would've had a bigger role in the book but I understand that by putting him as a side character made him feel like a better choice for Lily. 

I enjoyed reading this and I feel like I could not have made a better choice on ending this! I will probably not read the series because I bought the book before knowing what Colleen had done (which was also the reason I put this down so many times).

And I also don't have any motivation to read her books anymore after learning the stuff she had done! 

My first book review!

jacquiejacs's review against another edition

Many of the reasons are spoilers, but before I get to those, here are some of the non-spoiler reasons: 
-the writing felt very childish, which was especially weird due to the very adult topics discussed in this book. 
-specific things that triggered me (please please see content warnings before deciding to read this book)
- sexual assault
- some people say this is a romcom, but this this definitely NOT a romcom/romance novel.  I'd categorize it as Adult contemporary fiction.

sexual assault (see content warnings), abusive boyfriend (physical & emotional abuse), at times it felt like the abuse was being romanticized (very unhealthy message to send), pregnancy trope, obsession with Ellen DeGeneres (why???), Lily Bloom owning a flower shop? A bit on the nose there ngl

This book is so freaking good. It grabbed me in the first line and not a single thing about it got boring. I loved the romance and the friendships, it’s so well done. This was my first Colleen Hoover book and it most definitely won’t be my last.

Wow
J’écris à chaud 
Franchement ce livre est bouleversant et laisse tellement de sentiments contradictoires exactement comme Lily 

franchement je sais pas si les violences de Ryle sont un spoil mais j’ai été sous le choc il était si parfait 
Mais ces actions sont pas tolérables ahhh
Mais il semble si triste 
Il mérite de guérir et d’avoir une chance mais il doit guérir 
Car c’est pas vivable pour elle 
J’ai bien aimé aussi qu’il soit neurochirurgien sûrement car il a pas pu « réparer le cerveau » de son frère

J’ai jms lu une note de l’auteur si touchante 
C’est à la fois triste et plein d’espoir pour les femmes victimes de violences 
Vrm wow hâte de lire la suite 
Je sais même plus vrm avec qui je voudrais une happy ending

Car J’aime bcp Ryle
Mais Atlas est plus sain , même la pureté car il a attendu 9 ans pour lui offrir une vie digne d’elle
C’est beau 

PS on en parle dès prénom de la gamine ?
Emerson et dory
Un prénom de mec et celui d’un poisson 😭
