When Lily learns she’s expecting Ryle’s baby, she has to decide whether she’ll continue to tolerate the cycle of abuse she’s been trapped in her entire life. He grows especially jealous and vengeful after Lily reconnects with her first love, Atlas. The novel introduces readers to Lily-a florist who grew up with an abusive father-and her neurosurgeon husband, Ryle, who turns a childhood incident into an excuse for assaulting her. She’s been open about her personal connection to some of the things she writes about: Hoover has said that her father physically abused her mother, and that It Ends With Us was inspired by her mother. Hoover’s novels probe dark themes: abusive relationships, toxic masculinity, sexual assault, miscarriage, infidelity.
