24 Best Colleen Hoover Books In Order

It Ends With Us 

It Ends with Us is unquestionably the boldest, most profound, and most painful series Colleen Hoover has written so far. As Colleen herself explained during an interview, it narrates a story that was inspired by her own mother, and one she felt really determined to write. If we had to name one topic that the first book of the series is really about, it’s abuse. Colleen brings a unique perspective to the evolution of abusive relationships and to the cycle that often gets repeated through generations. And yet it starts out almost innocently.

We follow Lily, a 23-year-old entrepreneur who has just lost her father. She had a difficult relationship with him, mostly because of his abusive behavior toward her mother. Then, when everything seems grey, she meets Ryle – a handsome, successful neurosurgeon who is thoroughly smitten by her. They fall in love. Then slowly, and disturbingly, Lily’s life begins to follow in her mother’s footsteps, almost without realizing it.

While the book does contain several tender moments and passionate dialogue, this is definitely not an easy, feel-good, happily-ever-after romance story. Hoover’s portrayal is brutal, but you’ll find it impossible to look away. Her nuanced perspective makes the whole story feel so real, so close, that it’ll make you reevaluate all your biases on your and other people’s relationships.

For Sydney, life approaching her 22nd birthday seems to be pretty great. She is a college student majoring in music, which she absolutely adores. She’s sharing an apartment with her best friend and has an amazing relationship with her apparently perfect boyfriend. When she’s not spending her time studying o working, she also enjoys chilling on her balcony, secretly listening to her mysterious neighbor play his guitar. Somedays Sydney gets so caught up in his music, that she finds herself improvising words and singing along.

For twenty-four-year-old Ridge, life is proceeding normally, too. He has already graduated college and now writes music from home for a living. He sometimes experiences writer’s block, yet lately watching the neighbor across the courtyard singing along to his guitar seemed to spark its inspiration – and an unsatiable curiosity.
