Original review: This is a strong book.. It wasn't at all what I was expecting..

My sister recommended it to me for long time ago and I just didn't read it.. And I'm sorry sis for that.. AND thank you ��
Anyway .. She gave me a brief description of it considering Ryle and Lily and I thought that the female character was weak because she would be in a relationship with someone abusive.. And now I know that my beloved sister didn't want to give me spoilers because she knows how I like to start reading a book blind..
This is the third book I've read of Colleen's after: Maybe someday ( which blew my mind and heart..) and ugly love which was okay..
I didn't love it the same like these two.. Maybe someday and it ends with us.. Because they've touched me in so many ways.. I FELT SO MUCH READING THEM.. I shed all different kinds of tears.. I couldn't put them down And after I finished each of them I needed a break.. Just to catch up with my emotions..
And with this one I'm a Solid fan of you Colleen because there is just a few things that can make you feel like this and I felt alive.. I felt like I can live different lives and feel all kinds of feelings with those two books..
I was so caught up with my heart of my sleeves literally haha while I was reading.. AND yeah.. I felt alive in your books and I want to thank you for that..

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS PLEASE DON'T CONTINUE READING UNTIL YOU READ THE BOOK.. and you really should read it


It ends with us.. Is a heavy book with so much meanings
It shows us how much can a women handle and how strong it is to be a female.. AND how we should stand up for ourselves Because no one will and no one else SHOULD.. We are strong enough.. We just need to realize that..

Lily's father and mother's story was just... agh... It pained me a lot and cried a lot for her mom and I admit with shame that I also judged her for not leaving him but at the end I understood why ...
and it saddens me that there are women out there suffering the same case.. AND it reassured me on the importance of education for women just in case to be able stand up on your own..

I know Ryle is a good person and all BUT I just couldn't feel for him or like him after the slap all my liking for him went down hill.. Even though I cried for his childhood tragedy.. He is a really good person in general but not the kind that deserves to be with a woman.with his temper . I know he can't fix it or control it but until he learns how to control it.. In my opinion.. He needs to stay away from relationships..

And I was rooting for Atlas from the start I just wanted her to leave Ryle and Go to Atlas because HE REALLY DESERVES HER

.. SHE SAVED HIS LIFE AND HE REVIVED HERS ..


He is a good and strong person.. He got through a lot.. And loved her truly with so much selflessness.. He wanted her to be happy even if it meant to be with someone else.. Because he wanted to build a life she deserves to be in he worked hard and waited for her with so much patience it broke my heart.. I wouldn't stop talking if I continue about Atlas and how much I loved him.. Best Male character ever to me..

And Lily.. Oh my Lily.. Such a strong daughter.. Mother and FEMALE.. I loved her so much and I felt for her so much..
I loved her in her fifteens and how she helped a homeless boy to find the hope to live again and how she tried to help her mom who didn't want to be helped and I loved her when she is an adult and how she fought her love for the man who both loved and hurt her after giving him chances and how she decided for her daughter sake to not get through what she got through.. I loved her for pursuing her dreams and making them a reality and how she was honest with herself.. And not clingy and stood for her own..

My favorite character would be..

Hands down it's Atlas.. Best one.. Made me cry both of joy and sadness and he also reminded me how first love always have a place in our hearts and minds.. Even though life goes on.. It reminded me of my first love and how can a good person stay always in your heart no matter what.. You'll always care.. And I'm learning to accept that like Lily whom I also loved so much she is so strong and I respect her for that.. All in all.. It was an amazing experience that flooded me with so much emotions and tears and memories and I just wish to see just another chapter or two of Lily and Atlas Finally be together and how they relationship look like.. Being a bit nosy I know haha.. Anyway I just wanted to say.. Thank you so much Colleen Hoover for this amazing journey and I'm officially a big fan of your work ��
and please allow me to say this: I'm so proud of your mother and I respect her so much
it's hard to walk away from a man you love especially when you have nothing!! no insurances.. no work and with two kids But no matter how hard it is she did it anyway.. for her two daughters and she stood up for herself and I'm proud to be in same species as she..

just keep swimming ... life goes on
