In the future, if you miraculously find yourself in a position to fall in love again, fall in love with me!

Imagine falling in love with someone, only to discover that your perfect love story is far from what you imagined. This is the sad reality that Lily Bloom faces in Colleen Hoover’s deeply moving novel, It Ends With Us.

Lily’s story begins like any other fairy tale—young, ambitious, and ready to build a life on her own terms. She meets Ryle Kincaid, a man who seems too good to be true. Handsome, intelligent, and very caring, Ryle charms Lily, making her believe that she has found the love of her life. But as the layers of their relationship peel away, so does the illusion of perfection. What begins as passion and excitement slowly turns into the painful realization that love isn’t always enough.

Lily Bloom grew up in a small town in Maine, where she watched her mother suffer in an abusive relationship. She was determined to break free from this cycle and decided to move to Boston to start a new life and open her own flower shop. He dreams of a better life.

In Boston, Lily meets Ryle Kincaid, a charming neurosurgeon. Their relationship immediately developed, and Lily felt love for the first time. However, as their relationship deepens, Ryle’s anger begins to surface. What initially seems like intense love slowly reveals a dark side, and Lily finds herself trapped in a relationship that mirrors her mother’s past.

Just when Lily feels lost, her first love, Atlas Corrigan. Atlas was her first love, the man who once offered her comfort and hope when her world was crumbling. Seeing him again brought back old memories, and for the first time in years, Lily wondered if she made the right choice. Atlas represents the life he could have, pure and safe love. But he is a thing of the past, and Lily has built a new life. Or is it true?

The story reaches a turning point when Lily finds out she is pregnant. At that moment, his world changed. It’s no longer just about him, it’s about his child’s future. He knew he had to make a choice, not only for himself but also for the life growing within him. So, Lily did what she never thought she was capable of doing—she left Ryle.

Ultimately, It Ends With Us is a story about love, the kind of love that heals, but also the kind of love that hurts. This is a story about survival, about the courage to leave when it felt easier to stay, and about the power of breaking free from the past.

Through Lily’s journey, Colleen Hoover shows us that sometimes the most difficult decisions are the ones that lead us to the greatest peace..
