"We´re all just people who sometimes do bad things. I guess that´s true in a way. No one is exclusively bad, nor is anyone exclusively good. Some are just forced to work harder at suppressing the bad."
It Ends With Us is a book about life, love and domestic violence. This book pushes limits, makes you question yourself and what decisions you would make if you were any of these characters. You´ll question EVERYTHING you think about yourself and your morals. This was a tough read in so many ways for me. While reading you realize how easily black and white can turn to grey, and how many different shades of grey there are. I don't want to tell you much about this book because I feel that this is a journey that everyone should read and experience for themselves. The summary does not begin to explain what you will go through reading this, but it is worth every second.
"It´s easy when we´re on the outside to believe that we would walk away without a second thought if a person mistreated us. It´s easy to say we couldn´t continue to love someone who mistreats us when we aren´t the ones feeling the love of that person. When you experience it firsthand, it isn´t so easy to hate the person who mistreats you when most of the time they´re your godsend."
Authors Note is most valuable part of this book, so please everyone, don´t skip it. Colleen Hoover deserves a standing ovation for courage at writing such a personal and heartbreaking story.

"In the future...if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again...fall in love with me. (...) You´re still my favorite person, Lily. Always will be."
Dear Colleen, I admire you so much. You not only inspire me as a writer, but I think that your words have made me a better person. Thanks for making me laugh, cry, sigh in recognition, and grieve in empathy with your characters. Thank you for being you, and for writing about it. You´re still one of my favorite writers, Colleen. Always will be.
