Blake Lively Reviews It Ends With Us: A Book Lover's Perspective

Hey bookworms! So, you know how I love getting lost in a good book? Well, I recently devoured Colleen Hoover's It Ends With Us, and let me tell you, it was a rollercoaster. I know Blake Lively, mega-star and all-around cool mom, also read it, and I just had to share my thoughts – and maybe compare notes, haha. This post isn't just a book review; it's a fellow reader's take on a story that really, really got under my skin.

My Personal Journey with It Ends With Us

First off, let's be real: Colleen Hoover is everywhere. And for good reason. Her books are addictive, like potato chips but way more emotionally complex. I'd heard the hype surrounding It Ends With Us for ages. People were losing their minds! Everyone's talking about it, right? So, naturally, I had to see what all the fuss was about.

I started reading it during a particularly stressful week. You know, the kind where everything seems to go wrong. It was perfect timing, actually. The book's emotional intensity mirrored what I was already experiencing. I mean, talk about getting sucked in!

The Emotional Rollercoaster: More Than Just a Romance

This book is not just your typical romance novel. Nope, it's a much more serious and complex look at relationships. I actually had to put it down a few times because it was just so intense. I found myself feeling everything Lily (the main character) was feeling. The emotional depth was incredible. I've read other books by Hoover, like Ugly Love, but this one hit different. Much more emotionally intense.

One thing I learned? Don't underestimate the power of a good cry. Seriously, I ugly-cried multiple times. I'm not even ashamed to admit it. It was a cathartic release; a real "emotional detox," if you will. And isn't that what we want sometimes from a good book?

What I Loved (and Didn't Love So Much)

Let's start with the positives. I was completely drawn into Lily's story and her journey. Hoover did an amazing job of portraying the complexity of her relationships. Seriously, her character development is on point. I felt so invested in Lily's journey. There were moments of real laughter interspersed with those heavier, heart-wrenching scenes. It was perfectly balanced.

However, I will say the ending... well, it left me with some questions. It’s kind of open-ended, and, honestly, that's not always a bad thing, but it was a tad frustrating. I wanted more closure. I understand some readers loved it. I’m not sure I’m in that camp.

Comparing Notes with Blake Lively (Sort Of)

Okay, so I haven't actually talked to Blake Lively about this. But I did see her post about the book on social media. It seems like she felt some of the same emotional impact, too! We're kindred spirits, apparently. I need to find out what other books she loves.

It's amazing how a book can connect so many people, isn't it? Reading online reviews and seeing other people's comments on books I’ve read helps me understand the different perspectives different readers have.

Tips for Reading It Ends With Us

• Have tissues handy: You'll need them. Trust me.
• Read in a safe space: This book deals with some heavy topics. Make sure you’re emotionally prepared.
• Take breaks: It's intense! Don’t feel pressured to read it all in one sitting.
• Discuss it with friends: The book really lends itself to conversation and discussion. Find someone to share your experience with.

Overall, It Ends With Us is a must-read for anyone who loves emotionally charged stories with complex characters. It's definitely going to stick with me for a while. And hey, if Blake Lively loves it, who am I to argue? What do you think? Let me know in the comments below!
