It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover-376 pages 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lily Bloom has a complicated past with an abusive (to her mother) father who just died. She vows that she'll never be like her mother and stay in an abusive relationship. However, she meets Ryle Kincaid after moving to Boston and finally opening her own floral shop. They fall in love and he's mostly sweet and kind at first. Ryle is prone to fits of anger, though, and he hurts Lily a few times during these fits/episodes. Will Lily be able to leave Ryle like her mother couldn't with Lily's father? She has so many complicated feelings for a past love who she recently reconnected with and for Ryle, even though he's hurt her. What will Lily ultimately decide? This is definitely heavy material and not for those who are looking for a light read. That being said it is a good book and a good read. I wanted to read it in anticipation of possibly watching the movie based on the book.
