A review by margsvault
It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
3.0
Update on 2nd read two years later (2023): NAHHHHHH LMAOOOO
In all the books I have read and loved, I would have written in capital letters about all the things I feel, all the things I like about my journey in reading it.
But now, after I've finished It Ends With Us, my capital letters don't even have meaning anymore.
I am emotionally drained. I finished reading it at 2 AM today and I was a mess. I quickly picked up my phone, wrote a long chat to my friend, recommending it to her. I said, "I'm sorry I bother you this late but you have to read this. This is more than just a romance, Trace. This is life-changing." I ended up sleeping at 3 AM with a heavy feeling inside my chest. I feel everything and nothing at the same time.
Now, I'm writing this at exactly 7AM. Let me tell you once fact: I never wake up this early after I read a book... and that says something, partly because right at the moment I wake up, the first thing that comes up to my mind is It Ends With Us: Lily, Ryle, Atlas, Alyssa and Marshall, Lily's mother, all that happened throughout the book, that ending which left me crying and sobbing, the life lessons and emotional turmoil I was feeling... This book hurt me good and left me devastated... but alive. More than alive because now I live with this book forever.
Today I'll probably spend my day writing many, many things about It Ends With Us, and I'll start with a review in my blog. And then, I will write in my personal blog about what I have learned throughout my journey with this book. I'll write recommendation posts to everyone and at the end, I will write an email to the author. Because she has just changed my life.
So, guys, if me writing a long ass recommendation letter to my friend at 2AM and then waking up early to write this all in Goodreads don't convince you to read this book, I don't know what else will.
