I was kind of disappointed with the end..

IT ENDS WITH US is a book that follows main character Lily Bloom through a series of 2 relationships one with her first love Atlas and another with a man who seems to have everything to offer Ryle. As she progresses through both relationships she ends up having to choose life or to remain in a dangerous and potentially fatal situation. I know I'm late to the game with this book but honestly it was so predictable and that in itself was a bit disappointing. I know that a lot of people have a problem that Hoover is in a sense romanticizing DV I don't really agree with that I believe that the story has a good morale to it being that Lily is a smart girl and made Smart choices to an extent. over all I give this book 3/5 ⭐. I liked it but not enough to recommend it to anyone.

... Read moreColleen Hoover's 'It Ends With Us' has captured the attention of readers worldwide, prompting diverse reactions to its themes of love and domestic violence. The book intricately portrays the struggles of Lily Bloom as she navigates relationships with Atlas and Ryle, each representing different facets of love and risk. Many praise Hoover for her candid approach to complex issues, while others feel that the depiction of domestic violence could unintentionally romanticize harmful patterns. It's important to note the strong moral undertone in Lily's choices, encouraging readers to recognize unhealthy relationships. Critics frequently mention the predictability of the plot as a drawback, which can dampen the emotional impact of the narrative. Despite this, the engaging writing style and the emotional depth of the characters make the book included in numerous recommendations, even if it doesn’t achieve universal acclaim. As readers delve into the book, the varying perspectives emphasize the importance of understanding context, making this novel a profound yet polarizing read in contemporary literature. Furthermore, with quotes from well-known authors highlighting its importance - like Kami Garcia stating, 'Every person with a heartbeat should read this book' - it’s clear Hoover's work invites both admiration and critical discourse.

I 100% don’t agree that she is romanticizing DV in this book. I saw nothing romantic about it. What I did she was her trying to help people understand women who might choose to stay & how they rationalize that choice. This is teaching empathy to those that might have never found themselves in a DV situation so that we

I’m so disappointed in Latto
After all that with her saying she was waiting on the right man and the right time, this is what she chooses?! And the man ain’t posted not nothing. This is so disappointing. I’ll never understand women like this. It’s putting herself in an ungreat situation. Absolutely no forethought. #Latto

DNF at ~50%. I really wanted this one to work for me, and I can see why it will resonate with the right reader. The writing is intense, but the pacing and relationship dynamics just didn’t fully click for me. By the halfway point I realized I wasn’t feeling pulled to continue, so I decided to set

A hand displays intricate nail art featuring blue and white patterns on some nails and realistic 3D lime slices on others, with the text "Tequila x Lime What I wanted" overlaid.
A hand showcases brightly colored nails in blue, orange, pink, and lime green, each adorned with a simple flower design, with the text "What I asked for..." overlaid.

I went to a new place yesterday because I had a gift certificate. This place has great reviews and when I walked in I thought it was really nice. When the lady called my name I walked to her table and showed her what I would like, she just said “No that’s too hard, pick something else.” So I picked

I didn’t aspect it but I felt it. So I have mixed feelings. I thought our love was enough for you to show up. But I guess I was wrong. I feel like I am fighting for ghost at this point. I am going to miss home and all my friends and my heart. I do not know when it will be my next visit. Until then

A serene sunset or sunrise over a calm body of water, with a dark shoreline and distant lights. Wooden posts reflect in the water, and white text reads: 'You're allowed to be disappointed when someone offers you the world then leaves.' The image conveys a reflective mood.
You’re allowed to be disappointed
I thought I was going to get married. I thought I was going to be supported. I thought I was going to have kids and a house. I thought we were going to work out a plan to pay off our student loans. Then he left. I am allowed to feel disappointed. #embracevulnerability #breakupadvice #healingjo

I was disappointed… until I learned how to use it
I’ll be honest — my first reaction to this palette was disappointment. Luxury products are usually not very intense, and this one is no exception. The glow is very soft, delicate… and at first, all shades looked almost the same to me. But once I understood how to use it — I completely changed
