#20in4 Readathon
Book one complete ✅

I‘d heard so much about this so found a copy at the library. By far,one of the most overwhelming books I‘ve read in 2022.
Sometimes it is the who loves you who hurts you the most. This is a heavy, personal story which is deep and profound. It will make you feel uncomfortable but sit in your heart. A powerful and intense relationship is explored but although it is a sad story, strength is the word I use to describe it.
Triggers:domestic violence

Loved this book! Did not like Verity at all, but this book was surprisingly refreshing. The author's note at the end really illuminates why this book is such a strong one for her. The personal experiences always translate into effortless writing. 9/10! 🙌👍👍

Finally got a copy of this at the library, I‘ve heard so many good things about this book.Fingers crossed🤞

Fine day for some casual picnic table reading. How I love the spring and summer 🌸 giving this a chance even though Verity was a dud (unpopular opinion? I know)

I loved this book, it honestly broke my heart but definitely worth the read! Very well written!

2.5/5 ⭐️ idk how to feel about this book tbh. i liked it while also disliking it at the same time?? however i did like the ending omg. + atlas corrigan🫶🏻

Towards the beginning of this book, it seemed “lighter” than I wanted it to be. To be honest, it felt like a beach read romance. But as the story and characters developed, it got more deep and engaging, and it ended up being very compelling. The story deals with themes of domestic abuse and homelessness in nuanced and thoughtful ways. I liked it!

TW: suicide
“I‘m more focused on other people, and how they ultimately come to the decision to just end their own lives. Do they ever regret it?” Just started “It ends with Us,” and already it seems extremely interesting, I adore the writing and it already has me very emotionally hooked. Can‘t wait to read more!! :)

I loved this book from the first page. The first chapter is ABSOLUTELY my favorite. The course of events is fast and no details are left to chance. You become attached to the main and secondary characters immediately. This book was a huge carousel of emotions, I felt all kinds of feelings. It teaches you what strength and courage are. It teaches us women to fight for what we think is right, for our future. I will tell this story to my children.

Retail therapy needed after a long week :) heard great things about many of these amd hope they live up to the hype 🥰

This book gutted me. I thought it was just going to be a classic love triangle, and instead I read the last 2/3rds of it in a single sitting through fits of sobbing. Thank you to my friend Becca for the loan.

A quote that deeply resonated with me:
“Cycles exist because they are excruciating to break. It takes an astronomical amount of pain and courage to disrupt a familiar pattern.”

Is enjoyed the right word? This is a powerful and emotive read. Didn‘t buy into the romance at all, I found Ryle arrogant and manipulative from the beginning but if this book helps just one woman in a similar situation realise she‘s needs help then it‘s done its job. #pick #ItEndsWithUs

🌸IT ENDS WITH US🌸
By Colleen Hoover
I am so glad I read this book.
I didn't think I could feel so much all at once, I was angry, sad, cheerful, frustrated, heartbroken, hopeful and what not.
This book delivers so much... Friendship, love story, parenting, domestic violence and difficult relationships.

Such a sad book, yet so good. I can‘t imagine going through what this girl did and making the decisions she had to make. Couldn‘t stop reading. This was a very informative novel more than anything.

Love

My currently read. Yup, And I‘m thinking now if I have guts to finish this book. IYKYK!! Please send me some tissue💔😭 Nah. I‘m not prepared for another heartbreak again.

I‘m not sure how I feel about this one….it was trying to make some really important points about domestic violence but I felt it didn‘t quite get there

After giving the eulogy for her father's funeral, Lily meets a mysterious man named Ryle. They share “naked truths” about themselves and some major flirting occurs. They reluctantly part paths, unlikely to meet again. Lily opens a flower shop and works hard to make it a success. Coincidentally, Ryle and Lily meet again and begin to form a relationship that appears like a fairytale.

Aghhh the emotions!!! I related to Lily so much and as painful as it is to read, it‘s also healing. 💕 I‘m ready for Atlas‘s story! TW: DV #reread

Great

Amazing

.

Everyone has been talking about this book and CoHo since she‘s all over BookTok. I love when people who don‘t normally read discover a love of reading and this book definitely has that going for it. Not literature, and I was cringing so often while reading, but I was still emotionally invested in the characters and story. I have yet to come to terms with issues from my past but this hits home; I hope it saves others from unhealthy relationships.

Heartbreaking but excellent. 10/10 would recommend.

❤ It ends with us by Colleen Hoover wins the spot!
It was such a great book and a great and productive month!
Looking forward to March!
😃

It stops here. With me and you. It ends with us.

1) the tagged! I‘ve heard so many great things so I‘ll give it a go!
2) “unputdownable!” I despise this word! This shouldn‘t even be a word!! 😩😩😩

Totally loved this book! Giving it all the stars, and this will be one I will be recommending to others. And yes, I‘m going to preorder the sequel, It Starts With Us, right now!

#bookspinbingo
#pop22 - a #BookTok recommendation

Till now I have not read a single book of Colleen Hoover, but I am very excited to read these two books.

This book really does live up to the buzz and booktok hype. A contemporary love story that explores topics, like abuse, generational trauma and the cycle of abuse, first love, fulfilling your own dreams and living your truth and best life. The abuse storyline can be very painful for anyone who has experienced this, however Lily‘a strength feels like a healing balm. Her growth and resilience make this book an absolute gem.

Let‘s try this book annotating thing out.

Settling in with this book for the next couple of hours!

This is by far my favorite CoHo read to date. And I've read Verity.

IEWU gives readers a very realistic DV situation, I saw 🚩🚩 pretty early on and was really hoping to see the results I expected, and I did. Those flags were never acknowledged by anyone in the book and I think that speaks volumes about the readers ability to see them. The ending was also crucial to the reader's understanding of the cycle. I love this story.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

i love ths book but ryle

"It stops here. With me and you. It ends with us."

F**K ! THIS BOOK!
It destroyed me & built me up again. A catharsis. I'm glad I pushed through, in spite of all the triggers. My favorite from Colleen's so far. I hope one day I can hug her & tell her THANK YOU! ***More in the comments***
