It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
4.0
I read this two nights ago. This is my first Colleen Hoover book and it did not disappoint. This book covered domestic abuse and why a victim might keep staying with their abuser. To me, Ryle was such a well-written character not in the complex, good protagonist way but in the way that as you read the book, you become Lily and you really fall in love with him. In all the times, Ryle has hurt Lily, there’s still a part of you that feels like maybe if we give Ryle a second chance he might change, he might not hurt us anymore. I really loved Alyssa’s character to me, she’s not talked about enough. I love how down to earth she is even though she’s literally a millionaire’s wife, I love how she knew what Ryle was really like and even tried to warn Lily that he has abusive tendencies and when Lily told her about the attempted rape, Alyssa didnt force her to stay with Ryle rather told her to leave him. I do really love Atlas but I wish we got to see more of Atlas as an adult considering the major part that we see in his relationship with Lily was when they were teenagers—not to mention the whole 15 and 19 age gap. I would’ve loved to see more of Atlas’ character development and how he grew and what being in the Marines and how being a chef molded him as a person.
