Considered the book of the year, it became a TikTok sensation and has already sold over a million copies in Brazil. This Is the Way It Ends is the most personal novel of Colleen Hoover's career, addressing themes such as domestic violence and psychological abuse in a sensitive and direct way.
In This Is How It Ends , Colleen Hoover introduces us to Lily, a young woman who moved from a small town in Maine to Boston, graduated in marketing, and opened her own flower shop. And it's on one of Boston's rooftops that she meets Ryle, a confident, stubborn, and perhaps even a bit arrogant neurosurgeon who has a strong aversion to relationships but is deeply attracted to her.
When the two fall in love, Lily finds herself in the middle of a turbulent relationship that isn't what she expected. But can she see it through, no matter how painful it is?
This Is How It Ends is a powerful narrative about the strength it takes to make the right choices in the most difficult situations. Considered Hoover's most personal work, the book fearlessly tackles some societal taboos to explore the complexity of toxic relationships and how love and abuse often coexist in a tangled web of emotions.
