Sorrowka's Reviews > It Ends with Us

How can be a writing be simple and so exquisitive at once!
I've seen Colho almost EVERWHERE. Give a shot and won't doubt this hype.
We're lured into FMC feelings, seeing in her perspective. But the writing framed us to think the alternative because well, we're the outsider as a reader. Then the author just turned it over, countering our thoughts. Making the characters are knowing what's been happening with their life, all this time.
Plus.. The author note feels like a secret ending...

The story made us believed that the relationship was nurtured with love and trust. Who doesn't feel 'clicked' when two strangers shared "naked truths" abruptly, with no defense. It's also mesmerizing the FMC has an inquisitive and provoking thoughts (e.g when standing on the rooftop, charity, the age gap between 16 y.o to 18 y.o, etc).

All of the revelations in the book made me shuddering, jaw-dropping, it's a roller coaster ride!!
(view spoiler)[Even though the abuse incited between the parents, their children would suffer too. And the book explored the thoughts FMC has had. The most thing resonated me was the vicious cycle the family would have, she resented her mother for not showing her mettle in the abuse, but eventually we're doomed with the same path. It hurts... a lot, when someone so profoundly matching, yet a redflag trait ruptured all. Is it too selfish to wish he hadn't have that? Anyway, I wished I could pinpoint all things I discovered in this book, because it's hella heartwrenching! (hide spoiler)].

Last but no least, Thank you Colho for giving us more understanding on domestic abuse.
Colho is one of the bravest woman with amazing mother, send bunch of warm hugs!

Note
(view spoiler)[Actually I found it hilarious when Ryle prowled to Lily's house, blurt out to make love with her like... what?! were you that desperate Ryle. Speaking of which, I have heard toxic relationship escalated way faster (getting married sooner, for instance)? the surface might be seemingly smooth, yet it cracks underneath (hide spoiler)]
