Abstract

It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover is a thorough examination of the emotional complexities that emerge in partnerships when abuse and love coexist. The novel explores the psychological difficulties of loving someone who is both damaging and affectionate through Lily Bloom, the protagonist. It depicts the pattern of sensitive moments of abuse followed by violent outbursts and apologies, which makes it extremely difficult to leave an abusive relationship. This talk looks at how Hoover depicts the emotional struggle of clinging to love despite suffering, emphasizing the psychological attachment and social forces that lead people to remain in unhealthy relationships. It Ends with Us offers a gripping story that speaks to real-life events while challenging readers to re-evaluate conventional ideas of love, resiliency, and self-worth.
