It Ends with Us, by Colleen Hoover
E-book version avaiilable for checkout now available on Destiny Discove (click here to access).
"Sometimes it is the one who loves you who hurts you the most.
Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true."
Soon to be a movie? Colleen Hoover fans will be excited to learn that details are starting to be released about the upcoming It Ends With Us movie.
