It shattered my heart when Lily says “I want a divorce”. I felt bad for Ryle because it was his mental condition and truma, not him as a person neither his intentions nor his lack of love. I felt like crying thinking about how those words felt to a man who’s holding his daughter for the first time, who’s already working on his anger issues, who also wants best for his daughter and at last who agreed to Lily’s decision as he loves her and his daughter so much. You know, the pain, that he’s losing everything because of something he can’t control that came out of his past trauma. Lily got Atlas at last, Lily got Ryle’s love in initial chapters but what about Ryle? He fell in love with her at first place, he tried his best to be a good husband, good father, good brother. As a matter of Fact, he is not TOXIC, it was his fear of losing Lily that leads to his anger lashes in most cases. I feel pity for him. Everything I mentioned, is not an excuse for his behaviour and the times he attacked her and sufferings, both mental and emotional Lily went through but this is the other side of the story. Atlas, at the end got my blessings and appreciation and he deserves the love, his love, he got at last. ❤After all, he worked so hard and waited so long for that. Lily made the right decision as a mother, keeping the light on his childhood.

Oh I love to see how people experienced this book. And at the end, when Maria explained about the abuse. She made it sound so professional and put such a deep meaning to it, she used such a great explaination. Wow. The impact this book has had on our jeneration, special during 2022. 💓💓
I think that I definitely would have cried, cause I finished it today, but a few days before I was being dumb and looked at the end and found out they were gonna divorce before I read when they got together😭
This book is amazing. The very first novel I read was by Colleen Hoover "Ugly Love", my the second is "It Ends With Us". I loved both of it so much but cant say which one is better. ⛔SPOILER ALERT⛔ I expected a happy ending as it was a romance novel. The very first moment after I finished reading the novel , I was being selfish not many will agree with me with this but I wanted Ryle and Lily to end up together. It would have been amazing if they showed the part where Ryle finally controls his temper and lives an amazing life with Emmy and Lily. 10 hours of feeling bad for every part that hurts my heart. Its also so sad that Lily had asked him for a divorce when he was just admiring his lil girl. Its was so heart breaking reading that part I completely burst into tears , there were many sad parts but the last chapter I couldn't hold it anymore. So sad that a man loved his daughter and wife so much but they don't get to live together. I like Atlas but Ryle gets my sympathy. I think he deserved one last chance after Emmy's birth. After a while I realized that its sad that Ryle doesn't get Lily and he also doesn't get Emerson. If he didn't get to have them then why not another character whom he loves a lot and learned from his mistake to never lay a finger on her and be patient with her. The most saddest part for me is Ryle has no happy ending he ends up being heartbroken and lonely. Before typing this I hated Atlas but now I know I don't hate him it's just that.........I believe in happy endings. He was not completely at fault it was also Lily's fault that she didn't move on of Atlas. Why did she have to keep her lovers letters, gift etc... with her if she decided to move to Boston and have a new life. I know she tried giving Ryle many chances. He also don't intentionally hurt her its his childhood trauma. He was in need of therapy in one of the chapters they said something about therapy, I am not sure what they exactly they mentioned, but I believe he was seeing therapist since young age. I rechecked its chapter 20, Ryle himself says to Lily that , I've been in therapy since I was six years old. She wanted him to take control of his temper which I think her tried to when she was yelling at him in chapter 30. It's fine now I am starting to get over Ryle and Atlas and Lily and Emerson. But what takes to add one more character to be with Ryle. "It Starts With Us" also released but I still didn't read it because my exams are close. I heard that in "It Starts With Us" also Ryle is treated unimportant. why? just why? If there's no happy ending again for Ryle I am gonna tear the book apart. I wish every couple to be happy, every girl to be loved by her father, every father to be trusted by his daughter, every mother as comforting as Jenny Bloom, every mother to take wise decisions for her kids like Lily did, every guy we loved in our past teenage years somehow turns good enough in our present like Atlas. I absolutely love how much Lily and Ryle loves their daughter. I wish Ryle was a real guy in my life whom I would try to change after he was left heartbroken because of major mistakes me made in his married life. This book was looking like a fairytale in the beginning but then it ends up breaking me apart and teaches me not everything is happy ending and what you need to do is take right decisions and be patient like Lily was. I hope Lily can comfort her daughter at any matters she shares with like Jenny comforted Lily. It was an intense heartbreaking, romantic novel. 100% everyone should read it. I absolutely love characters of Alyssa and Marshall. When Alyssa said to Lily "As his sister, I wish more than anything that you could find a way to forgive him. But as your best friend, I have to tell you if you take him back, I will never speak to u again." I was thinking how can someone be this amazing. The parts that made me cry = "It stops here. With me and you. It ends with us" and "You can stop swimming now, Lily. We finally reached the shore." This is just what a 14 year 10 months old teenage girl thinks. Don't get offended or hurt by this as this is just my perspective. Thankyou!. I feel guilty to say I forgave Ryle and I till love him.
It ends with us made me sob aggressively. Once the plot began to thicken i just got so hurt its as if I fell in love with the characters and watching everything unwind and the story twist in ways I never imagined made me feel connected to this book and so emotional. I really loved the ending *SPOILERS* At first I thought she was going to get back together with him at the end and got scared but once she said I want a divorce my heart literally floated out of the room and all the heavy scenes with the @b*se just touched me AND THE STUFF SHE SAID TO HIM AT THE END ABT THE DAUGHTER OMG it was overall a great book and I hate that there was a bunch of drama revolving around her this was my first colleen hoover book ever read and i must say I LOVED IT and I will most def starting looking into more. (if anybody has recommendation's please please reply and lmk)
i honestly wanted her to go back to atlas, so i didnt cry much. And i had a long week of break downs from some issues when i reached the ending so it was kinda felt like i used up all my tears before i reached the ending, if it makes sense.
shockingly though I just red the whole book and i did'nt teared up like most ppl in the shorts are 😅 i just wanted to share my personal experiance with abusive parents, i was pretty young back then just like lily, my dad use to hit my mom on little things , it broke my heart, i loved my father bc i had a normal bonding with him and most times our family was happy and normal and then in a matter of time, i hear screams of my mom, shattering of glasses , most times i just felt like hitting my father with my brother cricket bet and then ask my dad how it feels to be beaten up but offcourse i could'nt do that, as i grown up , i began to hate my father, but now i m 14 and it had been years since my father last hit my mother , i m so happy, i forgave him and finally were living like a normal family now, reading this book just made me consider my mothers feelings which made me respect her more than ever b4, so yeah every situation is different my mom dad did'nt seperated but worked themselves out of it ❤💜
Tears actually began to fall when I was really the chapters where Quinn was reading Graham's letters. Like damn. I just got so emotional lol. Because I felt like they were going to choose to their separate ways and I was super worried.
The moment she met Atlas in the restaurant and her mouth didn't have words to speak and she was in a trance!! Good thing Ryle wasn't there..Ryle's character isn't completely horrible; his line in the beginning of the book "There is no such thing as bad people. We're all just people who sometimes do bad things" is so heart touching and it shows that Ryle wasn't a bad person but just did the bad thing.
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF SUFJAN STEVENS SUMMER ? I LIKE HIS SONGS SO I WATCHED SOME VIDEOS THERE ARE LOT OF VIDEOS NAMED SUFJAN STEVENS SUMMER WDYM CAN YOU TELL ME PLZ
Spoilers ahead: Throughout the novel I was screaming, "there is nothing to cry about in this." But the moment I heard "I want a divorce". I had these feelings of sadness and happiness. It was as though I had fallen in love with Ryle as much as lily had. My eyes teared up but hearing lily's conversation with her daughter was the final straw. I cried and I cried and I cried. This novel highlights an important concept. Sometimes the truth hurts like said in the novel "naked truths aren't always pretty". As a reader it was hard to accept Ryle and Lucy not being together but deep inside it was what was right and it is what ever girl should know. Every girl deserves better.
