I have read both "It Ends With Us" and "It Starts With Us," and both were books I couldn't put down! Yesterday, I had 3 friends check out the movie, "It Ends With Us," with me. All of us were captivated by the story line and how intense the actors played their roles. Blake Lively made us feel that we were experiencing the same feelings and emotions expressed in Lily Bloom's character. You were Lily: caught between two persons you loved, trying to process the feelings you had for both and dealing with one who was abusive. This movie gives you a peak into the minds and struggles of women who are in difficult, abusive relationships. We all loved the movie and can't wait until part two comes out. Bravo to Colleen Hoover for writing all of her beautiful books! We are fans!
