But I miss him so much already, I can't wait for him to come back home. If only I could go with him, but no. I have to prioritize my baby's safety. So nak, be good there inside my tummy ha. We love you, Mwuah!
My apologies for the super non-related blog post introduction. Can't help it, this day just felt like the longest while waiting for the clock to hit 7PM. Anyways, I finally finished reading IT ENDS WITH US last week and the book made it to my Current Favorites List. With that said: YES, I LIKED THE STORY. But before I go on babbling about its plot, let me share first my thoughts about:
TITLE:
In my opinion, the title fits the story. This title got me curious about how the story goes. When I was reading a little past the middle part of the book, I kept brainstorming what will probably happen next basing on the title itself.
BOOK COVER:
I don't judge a book by its cover. But whenever I purchase a book, one of the criteria I consider is the cover. Simply because I am a conservative reader so I avoid those books with creepy or too sexy cover designs. I don't like people to think I am a weirdo or a pornographic reader. 😄 IT ENDS WITH US has a very cute cover design you wouldn't think that the story is actually sexy.
STORY:
I fell in love with this book as early as chapter 1. In fact, I barely finished chapter 1 when I already recommended it to another reader. At chapter 4, I loved it even more I had to text a another friend of mine just to convince her to read the book too. Mind you: I rarely do that. I like how Colleen Hoover ( the author ) made the characters so relatable. The way the story unfolds is so seamless it made reading felt like watching a movie.
This story broke my heart though. Only because I was rooting for the character that she did not ended up with a "happily ever after". Is it a happy ending? I honestly can't tell. It depends on the person who reads it. (Arrgh! As much as I want to elaborate some more, I just couldn't because I don't want to spoil the story for those who haven't read it yet.) The story is so true and relatable, something that undeniably happens today in our society. It tackles a topic that is sensitive to some people so the verdict whether it's a happy ending or not depends on the reader's values and principles.
I appreciate how the author added a personal note at the end of the book. It's a must read to understand more the story! Do not skip it.
WILL I RECOMMEND THE BOOK?:
Well of course! It's something that is both fun and sexy with a kinda surprising end. I would love to recommend this to anyone who likes romance & love stories.
And that's it for this book review. I hope I got you curious enough to read the book too. 'Til then, see yah!
