Colleen Hoover's masterpiece, a publishing phenomenon with over 2 million copies sold in Brazil, now in hardcover, with side painting and exclusive content. In this special collector's edition, enjoy a never-before-seen interview with the author and her mother, whose story inspired the book, and photos from the family collection.
Lily hasn't always had it easy, but that's never stopped her from working hard to achieve the life she dreams of. She's come a long way since her childhood in a small town in Maine: she earned a degree in marketing, moved to Boston, and opened her own shop. So when she finds herself drawn to a handsome neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, it all seems too perfect to be true.
Ryle is confident, headstrong, and perhaps even a bit arrogant. But he's also sensitive, brilliant, and attracted to Lily. However, his profound aversion to relationships is disturbing.
But when Atlas, her first love, suddenly reappears, Lily can't get him out of her head, nor can she shake the connection to the past she left behind. And overwhelmed with questions about her new relationship, everything Lily has built with Ryle is at risk.
With a bold and deeply personal book, Colleen Hoover tells a devastating yet groundbreaking story. An unforgettable tale of a love that costs too much.
" This Is How It Ends tackles a difficult subject with care and tremendous emotional depth. The relationships are portrayed with honesty and compassion, and the author's note, which offers a glimpse into Hoover's personal connection to the work itself, is a must-read. Filled with family drama and painful truths, this book powerfully portrays the devastation of abusive relationships and the strength of their survivors." – Kirkus, Starred Review
