Recommendation!

So, I have a huge recommendation for you guys! "It Ends With Us" by Colleen Hoover! This book is a must read! Absolutely one of the best books I've ever read! My review will be below but as a warning it does contain some spoilers I'll also add the link from amazon to purchase the book!

Book review:

Wow! Just wow! This book is just amazing. It is the first book I've read by Colleen Hoover and it was so amazing that I don't even know where to begin. Hoover's writing and characters draw you in and hold you there. 

The book follows Lily a young woman who had grown up with an abusive father. Although her father was never abusive to her, just her mother. She felt as if she had no one until fate led her to Atlas a teenage boy that was homeless and living in an abandoned house across from hers. She started sneaking him food and later she would sneak him into her house for a shower and what not after school while her parents were at work. They both found comfort in one another while falling in love. Finally, Atlas found a home in Boston with his uncle. He promised to come back for Lily though.

Fast forward years later and there is no sign of Atlas. Lily's father has just passed away and she's dealing with her confusion over her death when she meets Ryle, a handsome neurosurgeon. On the first night of meeting one another Ryle and her start to play a game of "naked truths" Ryle makes it clear that he is not a relationship guy. He does one night stands only but he's obviously attracted to Lily. A few months late Lily decides to open her own floral shop and it just so happens that her new employee is the sister of Ryle. They quickly find themselves being pushed together all the time until Ryle finally admits that he wants to try with Lily. As time goes along Ryle shows signs of abuse here and there but Lily finds herself trying to defend him at first. Atlas suddenly reappears in her life as things get more complicated with Ryle. Eventually Lily has to make a decision about who she wants to be with.

I don't want to give too many spoilers but I will say that the way Hoover writes the characters is so amazing. I felt every minute of Lily's pain, confusion, anger, love, hatred and hurt. I felt for Atlas and how sad his life had been and I even felt for Ryle. I wanted so badly for him to be able to change for Lily but sometimes things just can't be. The end both broke my heart and mended it. I found myself crying with Lily on more than one occasion. 

Absolutely an amazing book that everyone should read.



Until next time... ❤❤

Pedal to the Metal: Jagger & Londynn follows the story of Jagger James and Londynn Parrish. Jagger is one of five brothers that have a need for speed. They are all named after 80s music stars, they all race as if their lives depend on it and their all a little bad ass. They grew up on the poorer side of town but it only made them fight harder at the races every weekend.  Jagger met a girl named Harlyn Bexton as a teenager and quickly fell in love.
