When there is the amount of hype surrounding a book, such as that which surrounded 'It Ends With Us', there is always a fear that when I read it, the book will not live up to the hype.

'It Ends With Us' not only lived up to it, it surpassed it.

This book was brutally honest, painful and heartbreaking. But, 'It Ends With Us' was also heartwarming, hopeful and inspirational.

To represent two sides of a coin and make you fall in love with these characters despite or in spite of them, was no easy feat. Ms. Hoover tackled difficult subjects with grace and honesty. She didn't take sides. She lets the reader do that. And by not assigning blame, you realize things rarely are what they seem.

❝There's no such thing as bad people. We're all just people who sometimes do bad things.��

Stellar, sincere writing, with unforgettable characters and a solid plot that rocked my foundation, 'It Ends With us' is a top favorite of the year and will stay with me for years to come! 6 Stars!
