Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.
Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily.And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.
As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.
“Colleen Hoover reminds readers that love is a fragile thing, built from courage, hope, and tears. Every person with a heartbeat should read this book.”
– Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times bestselling author

It Ends with us is a new adult standalone by Colleen Hoover. Man, does she write emotional reads. This one really got to me. Actually, this quote from author Anna Todd explains the book to a T for me: I agree with her 100%. Colleen Hoover is the QUEEN of emotional reads. 
It Ends with Us totally broke my heart, but in a good way. If that is even possible. I have a feeling that my review is not going to do this story justice. It Ends with Us is the kind of book that you simply must read and experience for yourself to truly get it. This is a book that will reach in and grab your soul. I immediately connected with Lily. Her voice and speaking style, all of it matched me to a tee. When I was reading her opening dialogue, i felt like the way it was set up was like hearing one of my own conversations. Not the content of what she was saying, and not even really her personality is similar to mine, but the way she delivers her words connected with me. And because of that, I instantly got her.
I loved watching Ryle instantly rile Lily up. It was like a clashing of personalities with those two, but a fiery clash. It Ends with Us delves into both Lily’s present relationship with Ryle, but also her past relationships. It was interesting to see the back and forth and see how her past affects her present, and really affects who Lily is as a person.
It Ends With Us is a book meant to be savored, and experienced and expeirenced all over again. So I am not going to spoil too much of anything plot wise. Just read this book.

I have never read anything by Colleen Hoover, yet. A friend just recommend her to me. This book seems like a good one to start with. I have heard nothing but praise for it.
