It Ends With Us

 


It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

Title: It Ends With Us
Author: Colleen Hoover
Genre: Romance
Published in: 2016
Age suggestion: 18+
Spice-o-meter: 3 of 5
My rating: 4 of 5

My thoughts:
I rated this book 4 out of 5 stars. The main character of this story, Lily Bloom, is a young woman who grew up in an abusive household. She moved to Boston to get out of her hometown and better herself and her life. She opened her dream business, had great friends, and met a man she fell in love with. The book follows the life she shares with that man, as well as her past with her first love.

I discovered this book from Booktok and I’m glad I read it. I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding Colleen Hoover and her books, but I don’t see a problem with CoHo. This is the first book of hers I have read. Apparently some people have issues with the writing style she uses but I thought it was an easy read but that didn’t make it bad. Some people like more challenging books. This book was challenging only because of the difficult topics in it.

Trigger warning: this book contains mentions of suicide/self harm and domestic violence. Please pass on this book if these topics make you uncomfortable.

This book may be for you if you like:
  • Love triangles
  • Difficult topics (check trigger warning above)
  • A little bit of "spice" - the scenes in the book are fairly explicit, but there are not many of them - for 18+ readers
Overall, the book was good. Maybe a bit overhyped because it wasn’t life-changing for me like people on Booktok claimed, but it was still good.

Spice-o-meter: My Spice Rating System

  Hello, fellow bookworms! I decided that since I recently posted a review of The Spanish Love Deception (which I rated a 2 of 5 for spice), I should probably make a post about my "spice" ratings, which I have now named my "Spice-o-meter". I want to make it clear that the Spice-o-meter does NOT effect the overall rating of the book! I am okay with no spice and I'm okay with spice, I just know that some people have other preferences for the books they read. Spice-free: Nothing beyond some kisses, hugging, etc. If one of my reviews doesn't have a "spice-o-meter" listed in it, it's safe to assume that it is spice-free. 1 of 5: May include hands, more kissing, "fade to black" scenes. No in-detail spice. Any books that have discussion of spice will be included in this category, even if no spice actually happens. I will write a disclaimer in my review if this is the case, because I know some people prefer books with actual spice. 2 of 5

Powerless

  Powerless by Lauren Roberts Title: Powerless Author: Lauren Roberts Genre: Fantasy Published in: 2023 Age suggestion: Young adult and up Spice-o-meter: No spice My rating: 4 out of 5 My thoughts: This book I thought was pretty good. The first half of it, I got major Hunger Games vibes from it and I was a bit nervous about how the story was going to turn out, but it got so good! Don't get me wrong, I like The Hunger Games , I just was nervous that it was going to be too similar of a storyline. There were definitely parts of it that were inspired by them, but the story took a very different turn. I got addicted to this book. It took me a while to get into (I've been reading it off and on again for a month) but I finished over half of it in a couple of days. The end had a lot of action and ended on a cliffhanger. I can't wait for the next books to come out. I am definitely going to be continuing this series as it comes out. In this book, it is split perspective between a g

What About Me

  What About Me by Tiara Vazquez This post will contain spoilers! Title: What About Me Author: Tiara Vazquez Genre: Paranormal Romance Published in: 2022 Age suggestion: 18+ Spice-o-meter: 2 out of 5 My rating: 5 out of 5 My thoughts: I really loved this book! It was another Kindle read that I found because I'm in a Facebook reading group with the author and she was promoting her book. I downloaded it on Kindle Unlimited and I absolutely loved it. It isn't my normal read because I normally don't read paranormal stuff, but I wanted to read something from another undiscovered, new author. This one has probably been my favorite undiscovered book I've read. This book had a big plot twist at the end that I honestly didn't expect, and a beautiful ending in my opinion. This book was about a girl named Ivy who believed that a new woman at her fiancé's company (where she also worked) was trying to steal him from her. She had very bad anxiety and a past with infidelity,
