BOOK CLUB: It Ends With Us

SHAMELESS MEDIA
About this episode
Hiya! Happy Saturday!

This month, we tucked into the heart-shattering 2016 novel, It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. It Ends With Us tells the story of an unusual love triangle between protagonist Lily, her first high school romance Atlas, and neurosurgeon Ryle. It’s a page-turning bestseller that explores the dynamics of physically abusive relationships, and how the cycle of violence needs to be broken despite the crushing heartbreak that inevitably flows.

Today on the show, Mich, Zara, and Annabelle chat about whether or not the first half of the book landed for them, their favourite characters, and how the domestic violence storyline unfolded.
