It Ends with Us
by Colleen Hoover
How exciting is it that this book is being made into a movie!!! šš¼ Iām definitely excited for it! š
4 It PIERCED me right in the HEART stars for Colleen Hoover's It Ends With Us!
This book evoked so many feelings in me. It is the kind of book you want to press into the hands of all the women you love and beg them to simply read. I went into the book having forgotten what it about and that turned out to be a blessing. My blissfully unaware heart was captured, enamored, confused, broken and ultimately filled with hope that sometimes if you "just keep swimming", things can change and be better than you dared hope.
"All humans make mistakes. What determines a person's character aren't the mistakes we make. It's how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses."
This book deals with heavy subject matter and it does so with heart. Lily is the kind of character that you immediately find relatable. You are drawn in to her life and easily succumb to her story. Hoover expertly penned this tale. I was feeling the giddy-headedness of new love and then whoosh! I had the literal rug pulled right out from under me! I was in tears! CoHo, why do you do this to me? I swear it felt like everything Lily was going through was happening to my best friend. I was an emotional mess.
"Cycles exist because they are excruciating to break. It takes an astronomic; amount of pain and courage to disrupt a familiar pattern. Sometimes it seems easier to just keep running in the same familiar circles, rather than facing the fear of jumping and possibly not landing on your feet."
I love how the story unfolded between Lily's present and her journals enlightening us on her past. Those journal entries were some of my favorite parts of the story. When past and present connect - magic! I was proud of Lily and her choices for both herself and her daughter. The promise made at the end between mother and daughter - the ugly cry tears were flowing!
The author's note explains a lot - don't skip it. This was truly written straight from Hoover's heart. My advice - give it a chance to work its way into yours.
