Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Colleen Hoover knows how to write unputdownable books! She is able to weave people‘s lives and stories together in such interesting, unexpected ways that still somehow make sense. Like her other books I‘ve read, this is a romance told alongside some difficult personal situations. Unlike her others, this one was much more intense & felt more serious in tone. I would definitely still recommend it, but it‘s not as lighthearted as I thought.

There is my #BookSpin for February

Diving into this while waiting at dance.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
It Ends With Us.
373 pages.
Read in 5 days.
Pros: This is my first book by this author, “WOW” were my words when I finished it. It was unpredictable, well written and definitely pulled on my heart strings. No slow moments in the book either. Must read.
Cons: None.

Man this book is heavy. I can see how some people couldn‘t get through it. I loved it. I love how it really analyzes relationships and decisions within those relationships both good and bad. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The issues that are highlighted in this book are real. The way people react to the issues are real. Without giving away too much of the plot, I‘ll admit I was judgmental of those facing the issues described. This book made me take a step back, look closer and better understand some of the reasons for the decisions that are made. This book is a real page turner that I highly recommend. My 2nd book by Colleen Hoover, one as good as the other.

What a good book!!! Such a powerful ending!! 💜💜💜💜

Wowww! This book was soo emotional and I freaking loved it and hated it for making me feel so much emotions. Great start, great ending.. I just couldn‘t stop reading it.

Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
The story is an emotional roller coaster ride set up in Boston and I was hooked to it till the very end. Romance, toxic relationships and domestic violence are summed into one story. The realness and complexity of the characters‘ relationship was beautifully written. The story broke my heart on so many levels. But at the end, it did give out a powerful and encouraging message.
Favorite Quote : “Everything is better in Boston.”💗

I loved this book. Brought out a whole gamut of emotions. Having lived through watching someone I love go through an abusive situation this really hit home for me. Such a well written book.

2. Nope, it traps the germs! And I'm a zombie in the morning so really nothing gets done
3. Nope, I don't like the texture when it's cold 🤢

Reading slumps are the worst! And I've been in one for months. 🤯 I start books, but they don't hold my attention. So I decided to try something light and entertaining on audio. So far, I'm enjoying this one.
Other suggestions are welcome. 🙂

I loved this book. I think the issue that it addresses is so important. I went into it without knowing a single thing about it. I just heard that it was amazing and I immediately found the audiobook from my local library. I couldn‘t stop listening to it and of course it made me tear up at the end.

Having read Verity earlier this year I was expecting something similar. I don‘t really read very much on the more romantic spectrum and was expecting more of a thriller. Very suspenseful. I‘m wary to say themes in case it‘s a spoiler. But solid read.

Trying out another Hoover book. All of them have such great reviews on goodreads, but I didn‘t feel wow‘d by Verity. Let‘s see how this one goes.

Whew. 10 hours short. But a lot of reading. Hopefully next year it falls on a weeked I don't work! Thanks that was a lot of fun! #mcbreadathon #mcbfrogsread13

Wow. Read this in one day. I haven‘t done that in a long while. I laughed at the flirty new romance at the beginning of the book, then got sucked in by Lily‘s story. So good.

And now it‘s past midnight and I have to work tomorrow. Great. I‘ll need the venti latte for sure!

I'm not gonna make it to 24 hours. But I think I am going pretty well with work and a 4 year old getting in the way :) 11 hours in right now :)

OMG! Loved this book....read it over 3 years ago and keep recommending it!!

All the emotions!!! If you want an emotional rollercoaster of a ride, read this book. Wonderful story and I look forward to the film adaptation. #Book21of2019

Lily is my favorite person, A 'Bold and Brave' lady. She made the right decision which was more of a surprise ( a bad surprise though). Not forgetting Ryle, I loved him so much though was given a bad character.
The book is great, applicable to our current society.

I devoured this book! Colleen Hoover is becoming an auto buy author for me. After I read verity in December I knew I needed to read more. This is only my third one but it won‘t be my last. I think I actually started this book in 2016 as an audiobook and never finished and knew all of what it dealt with.

This book enraged me to my very core. I found myself ranting to my husband about how I felt physically ill from reading this.

I'm a domestic abuse survivor and while I appreciate the author shedding light on this topic and she gleaned a lot of her insights from her parents marriage, it completely missed the mark here.

Guess what, if he hits you and abuses you what makes you think for one second that he would not do the same thing to your kid.

"Imagine all the people you meet in your life. There are so many. They come in like waves, trickling in and out with the tide. Some waves are much bigger and make more of an impact than others. Sometimes the waves bring with them things from deep in the bottom of the sea and they leave those things tossed onto the shore. Imprints against the grains of sand that prove the waves had once been there, long after the tide recedes."

Can't wait for the film adaptation of It End With Us by Colleen Hoover. Justin Baldoni did very well with Five Feet Apart, I know this will be as good. One of my top reads in 2016.

My go to romance author is definitely #CoHo, which is also my go to author when in a reading slump. Tagged book is my favorite so far which was my first book by her and also what made me love romance books. I‘ve tried other romance authors and none compare so far. @24in48 #hour18 #checkin

Omg I'm so happy about this. I hope it's as good as the book!!😍📚

Wow... and once again Colleen does it again leaves me experiencing every feeling after reading her book.

All the feels. Worth the read!

Omg. I am so super excited! #ColleenHoover‘s #ItEndsWithUs is finally going to be turned into a movie! From the same director as #FiveFeetApart. I hope it transfers to film well...I love this beautiful story. ❤️ #BookToMovie

On top of my summer stack! Just looking at it makes me happy 😃😎

All humans make mistakes. What determine‘s a person character aren‘t the mistakes we make. It‘s how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses.

“Five minutes.
That‘s all it takes to completely destroy a person.”

“I‘ve fought to remain strong. I‘ve fought to not feel too sorry for myself when I‘m around other people. But sitting here with my mother, I crave weakness. I just want to be able to give up for a little while. I want her to take over and hug me and tell me it‘ll all be okay. And for the next fifteen minutes while I cry in her arms, that‘s exactly what happens. I just stop fighting for myself because I need someone else to do it for me.”

Ever been broken in places that are already broken? Get your plasters out because this book could kill.
My favourite quote: "Imagine all the people you meet in your life. There are so many. They come in like waves, trickling in and out with the tide. Some waves are much bigger and make more of an impact than others. Sometimes the waves bring with them things from deep in the bottom of the sea and they leave those things tossed onto the shore."

Believe in yourself and everything will be possible!

Image is not mine - I nicked it off of t'internet. Soz if it's yours 😉😜

Well, I didn't like this anywhere near as much as everyone else in the world seemed to. Nor did I find it particularly tear-jerking - there are a few moments of genuine poignancy & profundity but all the upset & pain was just laid on way too thick & I was merely exhausted and/or irritated by it rather than moved. Plus I found the quality of the writing...cont. in comments

Can‘t wait to start these

New read tonight. Accompanied by some sea salt & Chardonnay wine vinegar crisps and a cold I.P.A.

Good

I just finished this book last night and it‘s really fascinating. I can‘t say much more without a spoiler tag though. The picture is just what‘s on my walk this morning, maybe with a color filter or two. 😁#Litsywalkers @kaye
