From "It Ends With Us," the passionate, romantic debut novel by Sunday Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, which unforgettablely captures all the magic and confusion of first love, as two young people form an unlikely bond before discovering that fate has other plans for them. After the unexpected death of her father, eighteen-year-old Laiken becomes a rock to both her mother and younger brother. She appears resilient and stubborn, but deep down, she's losing hope. Then she meets her new neighbor, Will, a handsome twenty-one-year-old whose mere presence leaves her reeling and sparks his passion for poetry. Shortly after their heart-pumping first date, in which they each recognize something deep and familiar in each other, they are in for a major shock when a shocking discovery brings their new relationship to an abrupt halt. Everyday interactions become deeply painful as they struggle to find a balance between the feelings that unite them and the forces that tear them apart. Only through the poetry they share can they express the truth in their hearts, and imagine a future where love is a reason for celebration, not regret.
