| It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover |
The book follows the life of Lily Bloom, a young woman who has overcome a difficult childhood in a small town in Maine. She moves to Boston, where she starts her own flower shop and meets Ryle Kincaid, a charming and successful neurosurgeon. They have an instant attraction, but Ryle has a rule: he doesn't do relationships. He only wants casual hookups, no strings attached.
Lily agrees to his terms, but soon finds herself falling for him. Ryle seems to have everything she ever wanted: he is smart, handsome, generous, and passionate. He also has a soft spot for Lily and treats her like a queen. But there is another side to Ryle that Lily doesn't know. He has a dark past that haunts him and makes him violent and unpredictable. He hurts Lily physically and emotionally, but he always apologizes and promises to change.
Lily is torn between her love for Ryle and her fear of him. She doesn't want to leave him, but she also doesn't want to stay in an abusive relationship. She remembers her own mother, who suffered at the hands of her father for years. She also remembers Atlas Corrigan, her first love and protector, who reappears in her life unexpectedly. Atlas was the only person who understood Lily and helped her escape from her miserable home. He was her kindred spirit, but they lost touch when he joined the military.
Lily has to make a difficult decision: should she stay with Ryle and hope he will change, or should she leave him and give Atlas a chance? What will it take for her to break the cycle of abuse and find her true happiness?
