Summer is just starting and we all know what that means: it’s time to pack our bags and set off on a much needed vacation!

I feel like I am going to spark a debate here along the lines of stereotyping and 'live and let live' but I am still going to go ahead because I have had enough, as I am sure have all of you.
This is my first Colleen Hoover book and I am already in love with her writing style. So much so that I have instantly picked up a second title by her, "Ugly Love". I wonder how I missed out on her work all these years!
It Ends With Us had been on my TBR* since a long time. My cousin happened to have a digital copy and hesitantly (I am not fond of e-books), I picked it up. Following is my spoiler-free review of the book:
