It Ends With Us
Summary from Goodreads
Sometimes it is the one who loves you who hurts you the most.
Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up — she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.
Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.
As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan — her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.

Caddyshack Review
This book hits hard and reflects on the seemingly loving connections one can make, yet be hurt most by the one’s who “love” them. Through a fictional exploration of domestic and family violence, generational survival and tales of hope, Lily never loses her sense of self, worth or what matters most, protecting her daughter from being another witness of family and domestic violence.
It Ends with Us is Lily’s boundary and she firmly sticks to it after realising the truth of her experiences with husband Ryle and what she had also witnessed from her father’s behaviour in the past. Gripping and gets you in, you may need tissues!
