It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover

 Lily Bloom has just returned to Boston after attending the funeral of her dad in the small town in Maine she grew up in. She is seeking solace on the rooftop of a building when she finds herself joined by a man who is taking out his emotions on furniture. Ryle and Lily have a fairly emotional open conversation and part ways but their paths with cross again and change the course of both their lives.

Lily Blooms story is told i. present day tense and in flashbacks to her youth where we are introduced to Atlas. The story of their youth is sad yet beautifully haunting. 

Hoover's writing makes you fall in love with both Ryle and Atlas. This is genius because it shows you how difficult it can be to remove oneself from an abusive relationship. How hard it is to see the abusive part of a person  that lurks inside someone. 

This is a highly emotional read that pulls you in and an honest look into abusive relationships.
