I have always admired Colleen Hoover for her novel. Her novel generally resonates to me on a personal level. Hoover’s book, “It Ends With Us,” is a story of love, heartbreak and finding strength.
It’s about Lily Bloom,the main character, who goes through a journey of self-discovery as she deals with love, loss and traumatic memories from her past. It is also about the women who seek independence and who fight for themselves.
Bloom is a hardworking and ambitious woman who moves to Boston to follow her dreams. She falls in love with Ryle Kincai, a charming neurosurgeon who is portrayed as every girl’s dream man. As their relationship grows stronger, Bloom realizes that love isn’t always easy. Things get more complicated when Atlas Corrigan, Bloom’s first love, comes back into her life and she has to face her past and rethink her choices.
Hoover uses Bloom’s story to talk about the difficult subject of domestic abuse. Through Bloom’s experiences, the author shows the pain of loving someone who hurts you and the strength it takes to walk away. The story is both heartbreaking and inspiring, showing that leaving a toxic relationship can be the hardest, but bravest decision.
What makes “It Ends With Us” special is that it’s inspired by the author’s real-life experiences, making the story feel honest and real. It challenges what society expects and shows the real struggles that victims of abuse go through.
This book is more than just a love story—it’s about resilience, self-love and breaking harmful cycles. It’s emotional, thought-provoking and ultimately shows how to move on with your life and learn from your traumatic past.
I highly recommend reading “It Ends With Us” or watching the movie version of it. It relates to anyone who is looking to read a story that has a deeper meaning than a typical romance.
