My Review (5 Stars: Loved it!)
In the past author, Colleen Hoover, wrote for entertainment purposes.  It Ends With Us, while entertaining and fictional, is different in that it is more personal to Colleen.
It Ends With Us starts out with a Fifty Shades of Grey type of sexual tension between florist, Lily Bloom and brain surgeon, Ryle Kincaid.
Ryle avoids long-term relationships, but finds Lily irresistible.
Lily occasionally thinks about her first love, but falls for Ryle.
While their romance is hot and heavy, the story suddenly takes a very dark and serious turn.
Colleen Hoover gives us a nice balance between the dark and lighter sides of the story.
It Ends With Us, touched my heart as it is about resilience in the face of tremendous obsticles.

I’m glad you enjoyed the book, Pat, and thanks for the mention. I was very happy that the book moved beyond the hot and heavy scenes into serious issues.
Thanks for sharing.
I’m also glad that you enjoyed this book, Pat. It sounds like a very gripping story with a serious side.
Good that the audio version worked for this one as it is how I intend to sample it when I have a space! Sounds like a lot of growth book so looking forward to it.
