If you like "It Ends With Us," add these three books to your to-read list

www.popsugar.co.uk, June 22, 2023
Despite the fact that Colleen Hoover's "It Ends With Us" first appeared in 2016, it's still making the rounds and top bestseller and must-read lists. Netflix is reportedly adapting the film, with Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni leading the cast. In short, it gets a lot of buzz, and rightly so. It's heartbreaking but uplifting, and it comes as a result of an emotional roller coaster that will keep you long after the book is over. I read it in 2019 and now think about it to this day. (I'm sure nothing can beat it) This is actually the one and only CoHo book I've read because I'm sure nothing can beat it.) Although I do believe the book is in a league of its own based on how it treats the very difficult topic of bullying, I've discovered that there are other books that have evoked similar feelings when it comes to the personal aspect of things, including the gut wrenching angst that comes from choosing between the person you love now and the one you love from the past (one of my favorite tropes). Here are my picks for your next read after "It Ends With Us." Not to toot my own horn or something, but every friend I've recommended these books to has loved them. Trust me!
