They hit it off straight away but Ryle is against relationships and Lily doesn’t do one-night stands. However, with time they come closer. Life is good, too good but then one incident leaves this perfection of a life in pieces. Faced with heartbreaking situations and hard decisions, Lily has to decide if It Ends With Us.’

A book that broke my heart and then stitched it back together, I adored It Ends With Us. A story that is all too common and familiar and yet forbidden to be discussed and addressed, this is a brave attempt by the author to bring forth an honest and unbiased picture of people who do and of people to whom these things happen. We often hear incidents like the ones discussed in this book but how many times does anyone truly understand the inner struggles of the people involved and their helplessness to get out because they don’t have the support from friends, family, and society.
