TW: Discussion surrounding Domestic Abuse, Sexual Assault and gun violence It Ends With Us is a VERY popular booktok book that I ATE up when I first read it. But when I discussed the book further with others I realised there was much depth to the discussions raised about the topics in this book and also the book itself. So hear Agape and I discuss cycles, in our lives and in the book, and also about Colleen Hoover as a phenomenon. TW: Discussion surrounding Domestic Abuse and Sexual Assault GoodReads Summary: Sometimes it is the one who loves you who hurts you the most. Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up — she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan — her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened. Agape’s podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ZCkwONWK20wBNrSgyIC7P?si=MRbhzLnlQxCxAsiM0eLJLw
