“It Ends With Us” follows Lily, a small-town girl who moves to Boston to start her own flower shop business. She eventually meets and falls in love with a neurosurgeon named Ryle but finds his “complete aversion to relationships” troubling. Here’s the rest of the story’s official description:
“Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his ‘no dating’ rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan — her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.”
The book has become a cultural phenomenon and has been heavily popularized by BookTok, making Hoover a consistently best-selling novelist in the United States.
