6 Stars!!

This isn’t going to be a typical review for me. I do not want to recap the events or even describe the characters too much because I won't be able to do them justice. Please believe me when I say that it is better to go in completely blind. You will not be disappointed!

I’m also going to be honest and tell you that I was left a blubbering mess by the time I finished this book. I was almost stunned speechless by the impact of this story and the depth of emotion it brought out of my heart and my memories. It Ends with Us is a devastatingly honest and brutally emotional story to read. It is also the very best book I have ever read by Colleen Hoover (maybe even ever, ever).

I do not believe you can categorize It Ends with Us as a ‘typical� romance novel due to the fact that so many people will have a visceral reaction to the story. I know for a fact that I did. My heart was in my throat for much of the book and I couldn’t stop thinking about it for days after I finished reading. This story has sharp barbs and they will grab ahold of your heart and leave a piece of themselves behind long after it ends.

If you have ever read a book by Colleen Hoover, you know that she weaves multiple themes and layers into each of her stories. It Ends with Us is no different, but it feels so much deeper and more personal this time around. What may seem like coincidental or accidental truly isn’t and all of the subtle threads will start to come together to make you realize that the words on the pages are only a small part of the whole picture.

I implore you to read this without seeking spoilers as this is a story that truly needs to be experienced firsthand. Even if you have never been personally affected by the subject matter contained within It Ends with Us, I believe every person who reads this book will be touched in some way or another. It will challenge your beliefs, it will give a voice to impossible situations, and it will remind you that it is ok to ask for help.

I applaud Colleen for her honesty and her bravery to put this story out into the world. I believe that it will give empower and encourage everyone who reads it, for it is a story with both honest perfection and a powerful message.

mj So I'm not the only person who had a tears-welling-in-my-eyes-gross-blotchy-face-looking-like-a-depressed-tomato (no offense to tomatoes) reaction to this? Good to know.
