It Ends With Us - Team Ryle or Team Atlas? (OLD OPINION, SEE MY FIRST COMMENT BEFORE POSTING PLEASE)

[river.｡*♡]

atlas obviously.. if you prefer ryle im sorry to inform you but there is something seriously wrong with you

[carissa ✩°｡⋆⸜ 🎧✮]

team atlas because why would you like ryle??🤔🫠

[🎀Aya (Taylor’s version) 🎀]

Atlas it’s obvious bc he’s sweet, kind, he cook like a god and Ryle was violent and toxic there is no way I would prefer him from Atlas

[Camryn]

is this a real question

[Kathi]

Hated Ryle from page 1

[Loisyy]

Team Atlas cos why nottt

[jana]

Team atlas for sure!!

[Eva]

100000% team atlas

[Megan]

Atlas definitely :)

[Maria 📚🐦‍🔥💛✨🧚🏻‍♀️]

bro that cant even be a question, atlas 100%

[sophie]

1000% Atlas is overall a better man for anybody, but knowing if I was Lily (and since i’ve been in a similar situation) i would stay with Ryle. but i HATE HATE HATE ryle.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE???

[Eliane]

Ryle is a psycho lol. I didn’t care much for atlas, I mean he’s sweet but he was just kinda there for me. + 18 and 15 IS a weird age gap, even if the book says it’s not.

[JJ (✨Taylor’s Version✨)]

Atlas for sure .

[bec ∘⁠˚⁠˳⁠°⁠｡⁠☆]

why is this even a question-

[Ty]

Atlas, I was mentally attracted to him and his actions

[angie]

the only answer is Atlas… there’s no explanation needed

[kyla]

atlas. always. no question.

[mady]

ryle was abusive … obviously team atlas

[Samantha]

TEAM ATLAS ALL THE WAY!! I have very strong feelings against Ryle

[❀ viktoria ❀]

atlas!

[♡jewels♡]

ryle was abusive, so team atlas!!

[aaliya]

i was team ryle during the entire book of it ends with us, and after i finished it until i read it starts with us. it changed my opinion and i'm team atlas <33. but its not realistic though, there's not always a prince charming right when youre out of a traumatic marriage.

agreed.

[Annursina]

Team Atlas because Ryle abused Lily and that says everything. But at the beginning of the book I would have been Team Ryle.

[aimee❄]

Team Atlas all the wayyyy! Ryle may have been a dreamy kind of guy at first but when he shows his true colours, he seems to be the person we least expected him to be but Atlas? Atlas showed his loyalty and kindness throughout the yearssss

[aaliya]

tbh the reason why people were team ryle in it ends with us was bc we didn't get enough of atlas. the story wasn't about atlas and lily, it was about lily dealing/escaping a a traumatic marriage. atlas wasn't the main charecter and we didn't get a lot of him. but yes, in the second he was the main charecter.

try 19 and 13 LOLL

[kaden&#x1f3a7;ྀི ⋆·˚ ༘ *]

I said it already but imma say it again, ATLAS HAS MY HEART and I am literally scared of the ones that picked ryle....

[quinn]

i'm only a few chapters in but #teamatlas

[Wika]

atlas is almost too perfect lmao

[Naiah♡]

Team Ryle....to me Altlas was romantic but he was also very basic yes I've read both books....I identify with Ryle to some extent personally....he was never really helped imo and I felt like everyone who read this just focused on the romance aspect of the book... he needed therapy and they should've ALL (Alyssa and her husband and their parents*i forgot his name*) rallied around him to help him get help....they isolated him and blamed him when he needed people to lean on...if they suggested therapy for him from IEWU and gave him that as his only option he could've been better in ISWU... also atlas over did it too much in book 2 for me (and he's a lil overhyped imo) bringing up Ryle's every mistake at every moment....book 2 could've been different....Ryle could've been better he could've had help....it made me sad....bit yeah that's my take and my opinion....don't come at me

[Naiah♡]

yes I acknowledge Ryle is to be help accountable for the abuse and the anger and everything he did to lily and i do hold him accountable....I'm just saying

[adelaide]

OBVIOUSLY Atlas anyone who says Ryle needs mental help and hasn’t read the whole book

[aaliya]

yeah i definetley agree with you atlas is hyped, ryle would have been an option if he got therapy but again no one would be able to trust him like before

[Naiah♡]

OBVIOUSLY there are persons who would see it from different aspects and would understand and interpret things differently from you, atlas isn't a saint, and he wasn't the only mmc for a reason.... stop trying to make them seem delusional or mentally unstable for having a difference of opinion, respect people FGS

[trixie !!]

Atlas because, as the whole plot is, RYLE IS A ABUSIVE PAIN IN THE BUTT

[Anna]

team Atlas for sure

[abigailalex142]

is there an answer other than atlas???

[R]

team atlas <3

[kaden&#x1f3a7;ྀི ⋆·˚ ༘ *]

uhm.... who would pick someone abusive, instead of someone who is gentle and loving?!?? anyways ATLAS

[Anne]

1. What kind of question is that? You're asking people to choose between an abusive man and a not abusive one? Really?

2. None. Ryle deserves jail (the fact that he doesn't end up in a cell is crazy to me) and Atlas is an unrealistically perfect, boring asf character. Plus, let's not forget that he slept with Lily when she was 15 and him 18 which despite not being jail-worthy, should be and is highly wrong.

AND you guys: this is not a love story. Stop making it sound like it is ffs.

I will come at you. Traumas are no excuse to become an abusive husband. He hit her wife and tried to rape her but you prefer him over Atlas because you relate to him to some extent? Hear it loud and clear, I do not respect your opinion.

I as well find Ryle to be a lot more relatable than this unrealistically perfect Atlas bs, but I don't think you realise how damn wrong he is. He could go to jail.

i don’t think any of the things he did is okay, whatsoever, but for me personally, i literally fell so in love w him. lily n his relationship was ..."

LMAO y'all are sick for real.

This is infuriating. "He was just messed up a bit"? "I fell in love with him"??? He is an ABUSER. The fact he never meant to hurt Lily doesn't change the fact that he hit her and tried to sexually abuse her. Get fucking helped.

Stop trying so hard to find a valid reason to appreciate Ryle, you know damn well there isn't any and that y'all are as disturbed as he is for saying such things. You clearly (thankfully) never went through such situations and I hope you never will because then, you would realise how stupid and insane the statements you just made are.

FYI Ryle's behaviour is jail-worthy. If even with this fact you guys don't get how deranged he is, you might as well be.

I don't think you people even realised that It Ends with Us is NOT a love story. This is the traumatic story of Lily. Y'all are either way too young and therefore don't have the necessary hindsight to understand this novel or you actually are stuck in your 15-year-old mindset. Damn morons.

What the hell is you talking about? Baddie? Medal? Are we eight graders?

The reason I get so angry and wound up by answers similar to yours is because having been raped during my entire damn childhood, I found your response offensive! (And ffs I am not looking for pity whatsoever, I can handle myself, just giving context that I think lacks here.) The fact that I attacked your opinion and you went straight for the person you think I am judging me by a few responses of mine to a group topic on Goodreads is laughable.

I genuinely give no shit wether I sound like an internet baddie or not. I get no satisfaction arguing with people, I'd much rather be agreeing with y'all because getting upset sucks the energy out of me but no one will speak my thoughts if not me. And I don't need no medal for disrespecting people's opinions (by the way I disrespect opinions that are morally wrong to me. Not the ones that I simply disagree with).

And if anything I am rather worried than satisfied. I have nothing to be satisfied of when I have to explain people how defending an abuser and a rapist is not okay (and here, I am not talking about your response but others').

It would be objectively incorrect to say that I did not miss the point of your response, I actually might have because those topics always trigger me therefore it is entirely possible. If that is the case, I apologise for that but I would also be lying if I said that I didn't find your initial comment to be wrong anymore.

Keep having fun seeing me beef with everyone else's responses because I am not nearly done doing so.

Well considering the fact that I did read and tried to comprehend your previous long and unstructured answers but you didn't take the time to do so with mine that is structured and in which I acknowledge my wrongs and therefore am being open-minded, I don't feel like being the disrespectful one right now. You're such a "baddie" for being so reckless!

"you're not judge nor jury just read the post and move on", funny how you took the time to answer another response you disagreed with instead of simply reading the post and moving on, though. Apply your own advice.

I don't care whether you read this one or not, at least I did take the time to hear you and get myself heard. Go on with the stick up your butt.

EDIT: By the way, you declared your point to be valid without ever re-considering it. I did re-consider mine after reading your answer to my response. But heh, I'm the close-minded one, huh?

[Lizzy]

EASY ATLAS, Ryle was so toxic is his own way and Atlas is just an amazing character, i hope that Ryle is lonely for the rest of his life. Ryle didn’t deserve any of Lilys time and she should’ve walked out after the first fight they got into.
