It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

It Ends With Us
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.

Genre : Romance

Whoa! My last Sunday was well spent by reading It Ends With Us for 4 hours straight. It was very easy-flowing read, even the theme is not easy at all.

Lily is a beautiful red-haired girl. On the night of her father funeral, she met unexpectedly with Ryle, a handsome neurosurgeon in a random place, at rooftoop under the starry night. Ryle is a witty, smart, straightforward man that attracted to smart, i don't give a f*** girl, Lily. That night is strange and get stranger when two stranger suddenly so attracted each other.

Long after that, Lily finally start her own dream company, a flower shop. A random encounter, she met with Ryle again and they start to exchange number, 6 months after their last meeting, they are still attracted to each other.

Lily never really thinking about starting a relationship, her mind is focusing on the newly open business, meanwhile Ryle is always wanting one-night-stand only, but Lily has made him want differently. They are falling in love.

But in the past, Lily has a deep scar. She lived in abusive family, she saw how her father beat her mother and made her loath her father. And she only have one love, her first love during high school, to a homeless boy name Atlas. Starting relationship with Ryle, made Lily reopen her memories about Atlas, and every time she open it, she feels sorrow.

Ryle is perfect, her mother loves Ryle, business doing good, every thing is perfect until she met with Atlas unexpectedly, has made her memories rush back to present.
 
Atlas is a very nice guy, well mannered, care and sweet. He is a guy that you always love because the reality broke you up, not love. And after Atlas, Lily never really falling in love to other man.

And Lily love Ryle, also Ryle's family. They get married, and should be happily ever after. But, something in the dark is lurking. Something that beyond their control.

When I read the blurbs, I really don't know what this book is about. But the title? should you can guess. Like i said before, this book is un-put-able. There is no part of this book that can give you second-guessing either the logic, character or loophole. It's like a current, started with small pace and built up into a waterfall. 

Not even I hate about Ryle. I can understand Lily's feeling and it is very hard to not forgive the one you loved the most. I never thought bad about woman that got abused by their dear one, but with this book you can understand deeply without judging them. 

It is also not a heavy read. With romance theme, and dearly phytagoras love like Lara Jean, surely it is very easy read. So can you imagine it? heavy theme but written super lightly without lost it means? The author should be a magician!

There is one excerpt that I like the most from this book:

"I feel like everyone fakes who they really are, when deep down we're all equal amounts of screwed up. Some of us are just better at hiding it than others."


It is feel like Young Adult genre, but definitely not. Very recommended!

Strange Weather in Tokyo by Hiromi Kawakami

Strange Weather in Tokyo Tsukiko, thirty-eight, works in an office and lives alone. One night, she happens to meet one of her former high school teachers, "Sensei," in a local bar. Tsukiko had only ever called him "Sensei" ("Teacher"). He is thirty years her senior, retired, and presumably a widower. Their relationship develops from a perfunctory acknowledgment of each other as they eat and drink alone at the bar, to a hesitant intimacy which tilts awkwardly and poignantly into love. As Tsukiko and Sensei grow to know and love one another, time's passing is marked by Kawakami's gentle hints at the changing seasons: from warm sake to chilled beer, from the buds on the trees to the blooming of the cherry blossoms. Strange Weather in Tokyo is a moving, funny, and immersive tale of modern Japan and old-fashioned romance.  **** Strange Weather in Tokyo Author : Hiromi Kawakami Translator : Allison Markin Powell Published
