It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
Even though Lily hasn’t always had it easy, she’s never let that stop her from striving to live the life she desires. She graduated from college, relocated to Boston, and established her own business. She has come a long way from the little town where she was raised. And when Lily starts to develop feelings for a handsome neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in her life starts to appear too perfect to be true.
Ryle is aggressive, obstinate, and perhaps a little conceited. He is also intelligent, sensitive, and completely infatuated with Lily. And it surely doesn’t hurt that he looks good in scrubs. Lily is unable to shake him from her mind. But Ryle’s utter distaste for partnerships is unsettling. Lily can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place, even as she finds herself breaking his “no dating” rule.
Her first love and a reminder of the past she left behind, Atlas Corrigan, enters her mind as questions about her current relationship overwhelms her. He served as both her ally and defender. Everything Ryle and Lily have created together is in danger when Atlas arrives out of nowhere.

The protagonist of the narrative is Lily Bloom, who was raised in a home where her father sexually and physically assaulted her mother. Lily vows never to become like her mother since she sees that she is weak for not leaving her husband in spite of the abuse.
Ryle Kincaid is a neurosurgeon who Lily meets as an adult. He is charming, loving, and devoted. But as time goes on, Lily comes to understand a side of him that puts her in jeopardy of continuing her mother’s pattern.
I wasn’t sure how I felt about this book after finishing it. The book discusses abusive relationships in a raw, sensitive style that makes you consider the psychological anguish and relationship complexity involved. On the other hand, there is a distinct depth to it.
On the other hand, there is also a lot of what I consider to be juvenile romance, which includes unrealistic, childish expectations from relationships, excessive emotion, tantrums, quick changes between extreme highs and lows, and a level of drama that no sensible adult would ever subject themselves to.
