**NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING BLAKE LIVELY AND JUSTIN BALDONI** THE RUNAWAY GLOBAL MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING NOVEL BY COLLEEN HOOVER. ‘The reigning queen of BookTok’ GUARDIAN ‘One of the most influential voices of the last decade’ ELLE ‘One of the world's most successful writers’ DAILY MAIL ‘In the future . . . if by some miracle you ever find yourself in the position to fall in love again . . . fall in love with me.’ 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 where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems 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. With this bold and deeply personal novel, IT ENDS WITH US is a heart-wrenching story and an unforgettable tale of love that comes at the ultimate price.

Same author's emotionally brutal marriage-in-crisis story with grief and second chances, but the pain comes from infertility and silence rather than violence.
November 9
Same author's blend of first love returning, hidden trauma and a gut-punch reveal, but the burn is slower and stretched over years.
Sex and Vanity
Another woman torn between two men with class and family pressure, though this one is glossy and comic instead of dark and traumatic.
It's Not Summer Without You
Keeps the love triangle and grief-soaked choice between two men, but it's YA, nearly chaste, and summer-nostalgic.
Landline
Also about deciding whether love is worth staying for, but gentler, nearly closed-door, with a whimsical time-travel twist instead of abuse.
No hay verano sin ti
Grief-soaked love triangle where a girl must choose between two brothers; younger, chaster, and softer than the seed's darkness.
