It Ends with Us (It Ends with Us, #1)

by Colleen Hoover

“Naked truths aren’t always pretty.”

Instead of helping others, people use the worst-case scenarios to excuse their own selfishness and greed.

Fifteen seconds. That’s all it takes to completely change everything about a person.

All humans make mistakes. What determines a person’s character aren’t the mistakes we make. It’s how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses.

but sometimes the things that matter to you most are also the things that hurt you the most. And in order to get over that hurt, you have to sever all the extensions that keep you tethered to that pain.

Shouldn’t there be more distaste in our mouths for the abusers than for those who continue to love the abusers?

Just because someone hurts you doesn’t mean you can simply stop loving them.
