Cover of It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Author Colleen Hoover has become a notable name in publishing, yet many of her books, including It Ends With Us, have received considerable and worrying backlash for controversial endings. Hoover's publishing career began in 2012 when she released her first novel, Slammed. In the following decade, the author put out three or four books every year, almost entirely in the romance genre.
It Ends With Us Portrays Domestic Abuse In A Controversial Way There's An Argument That Hoover Romanticizes Abuse Close The biggest debate surrounding It Ends With Us centers on the book's romance. While some readers praise Hoover for her realistic portrayal of an abusive relationship, others are concerned by what Hoover seems to be promoting. It Ends With Us tells the story of Lily Bloom, a young woman who starts a relationship with a man named Ryle.
In It Ends With Us, Lily ends up keeping Ryle in her life, despite his abuse. Throughout the novel, readers see Ryle physically, sexually, and emotionally abuse Lily due to a traumatic incident that occurred when he was a child. When Lily becomes pregnant, she realizes their dangerous relationship needs to change. Lily's solution is to divorce Ryle, but allow him to co-parent their newborn daughter.
Secondly, putting It Ends With Us in the romance genre insinuates that what occurs in the book is romantic. Lily may have a budding romance with her childhood friend named Atlas, but the core of the book is about Lily and Ryle. In this way, It Ends With Us is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Though the hope is that readers can distinguish between romance and abuse, young readers may struggle with this distinction. This is a leading cause of the backlash against Colleen Hoover.
