Review of 'It ends with us' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This was one of those books that was available at the library and digitally shelved with other books I'd read and enjoyed, so I picked it up without knowing the premise or genre. So I think Colleen Hoover writes romance novels, and while this is centered around a love story (with ridiculous descriptions that make it clear that people are very attractive and very rich), the thing that saved it for me was the author's take on domestic abuse. As she states in the author's notes, so often it's hard to imagine why people stay in those situations, or it's easy to say, "I'd just leave" and discount the person who stays as weak. In this book she tries to take a less judgmental look at ways in which firm boundaries can sometimes start to blur. (Even so, I found myself eye rolling pretty hard and and yelling "LEAVE HIM" frequently.)
