An extract from this contemporary romance book. Colleen Hoover released her 13th masterpiece, It Ends With Us on the second of August 2016. The heart-wrenching novel won the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Romance.
“SOMETIMES THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU IS THE ONE WHO HURTS YOU THE MOST”
This novel tackles the avoided subject of domestic violence with romantic elements and emotional weight. It is packed with trauma and painful truths or as they would say, ‘naked truth’. The illustration portrays the devastation of abuse, the consequences of it, and the strength of the survivors.
It was a success and received 4.4o out of 5 from 280,306 ratings and 33,859 reviews.
Kirkus wrote a review about this book that goes, “This story is moving. It will make you think about things that are uncomfortable to think about. It will lift your heart, devastate you at times, make you proud, fill you with sorrow and make you smile. It will move you. It’s powerful and intense in the best way, but also has hopeful and lighter moments. The story itself is one that has been heavy on my heart from the moment I finished it.”
