Rating: 5+++ SWIMMING STARS! 
 This review contains my pure unadulterated thoughts after reading this one heck of a book. 
 There are some spoilers. You have been warned! 
 Colleen Hoover!!! Why do you have to be this damn good? Huh? After finishing this book, I could gladly say that I WANT TO BE YOU WHEN I GROW UP. 
 I have never been on an abusive family and hope I will never be with one, but you grabbed me and let me experience these emotions. THEY HURT THAT MUCH. Do you know how difficult it is to read while tears are blurring your eyes? Yes, that bad. 
 It Ends With Us let me be more thankful on the family that I have now. On the parents that raised me. On the environment that didn't let me experience this things. We are not perfect but in our small simple world, we are what we ought to be. 
 I thought that this book was a love story but it is a story of empowerment. Of making the decision not for the sake of our own selves but for the sake of the people we want to protect the most. Lily grew up throughout the whole book and I salute her for every decision she made. The bad and the good ones. It was one heck of a character development. 
 I fell in love with Ryle too at the start but when the first thing happened I had to stop reading for awhile since I know that things will go downhill from there. 
 I was with Lily's feelings. With all the contradictory and debating thoughts that go through her head. 
 CoHo, you couldn't have written this book much better. It was so perfect up to the last words that were uttered by Atlas. I now understood why it was titled that way. And thank you for sharing what inspired you in writing this book after the epilogue. 
 I love It Ends With Us like Lily loves Ellen DeGeneres. Now it is my turn to KEEP SWIMMING until I reach the shore of moving on from this book and get back to studying.
