VERITY:
This book had me thinking.. it took me barely a day or two to finish this book .. it was just so interesting and leaving another chapter to read the next day was almost impossible .. it felt like i was actually in that book as one of her characters .. just the way she have expressed each character in this book is commendable.. as i was heading towards the end the part before the letter i was actually kinda relieved with whatever happened but the letter kinda terrified me .. i just was not ready for an ending like thay .. like was the letter the truth or the other way round .. another thing i loved about this book was that so much thought and effort was put into creating every scenario that you can actually imagine it .. like an exact image of what was happening or what the characters were doing was happening right in front of my eyes and it was a delight to read it to be honest .. also the fact that she left the story as an open end , up to us to believe whatever we want is killing me.. I'm having like a million of various scenarios going on in mind right now.. but anyways kudos to her for writing a masterpiece like this .. Verity will always have a special place in my heart .. loved it ❤️
Other than that i believe that the letter was a cover-up for whatever she had done and she was actually regretting everything she did .. but that's where it strikes when Lowen remembered that Jeremy's reaction to the letter was where did you find it not something more concerning but it could also be that he was just so angry to think straight so instead of knowing what it was he just wanted to know what proof did Lowen find aginst his wife that made her so sure that Verity was lying about her illness and other stuff .. i could be wrong though..🙃

IT ENDS WITH US:
5 stars even in a thousand years!!!!!
I was really excited to read this one as this was being so hyped up on bookstagram and I've to say this it's the BEST book I've ever read!!!
I couldn't sleep at night when i started reading this bcz i was so curious about what's going to happen so i just sat for 7 hours straight after that and completed it totally worth ngl!
It was an emotional rollercoaster it made me laugh , smile and cry the whole night too also it was my first CoHo book and i just can't wait to read more from her!!!

Spoiler!!!!!

She made me fall for ryle i loved ryle since the start way too much that just like lily i wanted to forgive him at many points although he made my blood boil at many points too but i just couldn't help bcz i already loved him alot but making lily and ryle separate was really the best thing to do.
Allysa had to be my favourite character i loved the bond btw her and lily i felt so good when she told lily that if she takes ryle back she won't talk to lily ever again when she got to know about what ryle did TRUE FRIEND!!!!
At last when Atlas said "you can stop swimming now" i shedded an ocean of tears.
Lily Bloom , I just want to hug you so tight and want to tell you that I'm so proud of you for not taking back ryle , for coming out and saying it all loud.
The hospital moment when emmy was born and they were holding emmy and lily gave reference of lily to whatever happened with her when she asked him what would he do if emmy comes to him and says that her boyfriend tried to rape her and what should she do it was so hurtful i cried so hard I'm so PROUD of her for doing this and making ryle realize it and not just staying quite.
The way Colleen Hoover portrayed important issues like sexual harassment , abusive relationships and several other things made me just love her she wrote it all so perfectly.
Also ryles line :
"there is nothing like bad people , we all are people who sometimes do bad things" is what I'm going to remember forever there are so many other quotes I've highlighted in the book that i love😩

I'm really glad she wrote this book as we know it's so personal to her but she wrote it and conveyed a really great message through this book.
The authors note really made me cry as well as the whole book did i just couldn't hold back my tears while reading this.
Atlas was really good character too and I'm glad she ended up with him they both are compatible together and love each other ryle loved her too but an abusive relationship is a straight up NO!
I don't really usually get so invested in a book as i got here.

UGLY LOVE:
Okay so i just finished the book this is incredibly written by collen hoover & when i start reading it the first that came up in my mind what does these water drops on cover means i was too curious to know the secret that what will happened in the past which makes a person feeling not capable to love someone again like why he's hating himself this much that he's not allowing himself to float in love & leave all the weight that he's carrying from the past. As soon as i found that there's a great fear behind that rude personality anyway I'm very glad about the end of the book cuz he finally allows himself to flew in love not fall..!! This book is the mixture of Every emotion that we human being feel the cry, laugh, love, hate, life, death, happy, sad, hurt, fear, disappointment, crumbled , etc the reader's laugh & cry only coho can put that much emotions in one novel i appreciate her work I'm a big Coho reader still learning from her novels. I recommend it to everyone cuz this books a messege To forget about the hurtful moments from the past & remember only beutiful moments, To allow ourself to love someone we want For Life & Forever Don't blame yourself over the thing's that happened because of Worst Situations!!

NOVEMBER 9:
as soon as i opened the book i instantly fell in love with it. this book was one of the best books i’ve ever read. when i started the book i could not put it down. i read the entire book in just three days. colleen has such an astonishing way with words. the different perspectives makes the book ten times better. the plotline of this story varies from other romance novels which makes it a fantastic read. it made me feel things that i had never experienced before when escaping into a new world. i'd be lying if I say that this book didn't reach my expectations, it was everything you could need and more. the plot twists really keep you on the edge of your seat, there were so many times i was left speechless. fallon and ben's lovestory is an epic, raw, and realistic journey that I wish never ended. colleen really knows how to write characters that you can feel connected to in some way. i would 100% recommend that you read this book.

REMINDERS OF HIM:
This novel is again one that held me cry, love, smile, laugh, loose, learn and what not. I took it slow this time as I could guess that I would be emotionally drained and would need time to adjust with time passing.

It's not just love and loss, pain or happiness but also lessons and morals.
Kenna is such a strong character, she deals with innumerable things. I cried for her pain.
Ledger is the kind of man who would always be looked up to. I cried tears of happiness for the love he sprinkles around.

Beyond Kenna's tumultuous life scenes and Ledger soothing and trying to mend every broken part in the novel, there are also instances that show how society labels a woman with ease and condemns her for some imposed, uncontrollable reasons, and she is all on her own.

It also deals with the concept of parenting. I love how Diem is looked after by all the characters, especially Ledger. He teaches her every good thing possible; probably the reason why everyone loves him (me too, he's both, hot and cute)❤️.

I really like how we move back and forth with perspectives of these characters one chapter after another.

I also like this letter-writing motif that features in CoHo's works, it's my second read, though, after It Ends With Us.

I could not resist from connecting how Kenna is "forgiven" in Reminders of Him and Lily could finally "stop swimming" in It End With Us.

I'm in absolute affirmation with CoHo in how reading is "an escape from the difficulties we face," sometimes.

One thing to stick by, we should fight, and forgive ourselves to have reminders that only makes us smile.

Time does heal all the wounds and gives shape to a happy ending.

Scotty would definitely be smiling from above.
Love the read.
