📚 Books That Broke My Heart and Put It Back Together

If you’re looking for a duet that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster, these two are worth every page (or every minute of the audiobook). 💕

It Ends With Us will pull at your heartstrings and make you think deeply about love, strength, and difficult choices. It Starts With Us gives you the healing, hope, and second chances you desperately wanted afterward.

I laughed, cried, got emotionally attached to fictional people like a perfectly reasonable adult, and immediately recommended them to everyone. Human beings really do enjoy paying money to have their feelings professionally damaged. 📖✨

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

🎧 Bonus: The audiobooks are absolutely worth the listen!
