My Thoughts:
"Fifteen seconds. That's all it takes to completely change everything about a person. Fifteen seconds that we'll never get back."

It Ends with Us was surely something. This book.. wow.. If you are reading this and have yet to read IEWU just know this review will be completely different from ones I've done in the past, it will include little to no details about this book which is why I've posted no synopsis. This is one of those novels where you just have to go into it 100% blind. Don't go read blurbs, detailed reviews, or the synopsis posted on Goodreads, go out, be brave and bold, pick this book up and just start reading. Going in without knowing is really the only way to fully appreciate the depth of It Ends with Us, My favorite part of this book was thinking it was another one of Colleen's fantastic love stories and reading until that moment when it turned into something much more. Going into it knowing you lose that power, that moment, that feeling in your gut when it hits you. I wouldn't give up that moment for the world. This book is so emotional, I can't even tell you how many happy,, excited, sad, angry tears I cried during the emotional roller coaster that was 384 pages. Three hundred and eighty-four pages of endless, consuming feels.

"So much gravity, pushing down on my emotions. Everything shatters. My tears, my heart, my laughter, my soul. Shattered like broken glass, raining down around me."

This book was absolutely everything I excepted from Colleen Hoover but nothing I would have ever imagined. It gave me a new perspective on things and I've learned so much because of it. Naked truth coming, I was one of those people who didn't understand but now I do, thank you for that Colleen. This book is so much more then a book, it's probably the most meaningful book I've ever read, held, and set my eyes upon.

As you read this book and those feels begin to consume your ever loving soul remember to just keep swimming.
