(Re-reading It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover currently, so I can read It Starts With Us)

*spoilers below* lol

Topic: RYLE 😑

Everything he does is CRINGE

Much like Lily, I missed all the red flags the first time

He was literally beating up a chair when she met him

Second time she sees him, he tells her he doesn’t ever want to see her again

THEN

He knocked on 29 apartment doors ?! TWENTY NINE DOORS 😂 BECAUSE HE WANTED TO FUCK HER 😂😂😂😂

He’s a broken man, but he isn’t broken because of me. He was broken before he met me. Sometimes people think if they love a broken person enough, they can be what finally repairs them, but the problem with that is the other person just ends up broken, too.

What Colleen Hoover books have you read?

Verity, It Ends with Us, and It Starts with Us.

All 3 certainly kept my attention. But Verity traumatized me, and I did not like the heaviness and themes of IEWU and ISWU. They are just not for me. I definitely get why people like her books and I love that the hype got so many more people into reading!!!

czytaliście IT starts with us? ja po przeczytaniu IT ends with us myślałam, że znalazłam swojego Atlasa, ale po przeczytaniu ISWU doszłam do wniosku, że chłopakowi, którego uważałam za cudownego bliżej jest do Ryle'a

[nlesleyyy]

Let’s talk about ISWU!!

Atlas is quite literally the dream man😍 and I absolutely loved the added characters, especially josh because it was nice to see atlas becoming a big brother! And there’s Theo?? I need a therapist like that in my life, I mean who doesn’t?😅 “it is my wish to be your fish” man that was creative and had me howling😂 I feel like I pretty much loved everyone in this book! Well other than Ryle and Sutton of course! But I just feel like most characters had such amazing development in this book!! Definitely worth the read but make sure you read IEWU first🌺

All of colleen hoover’s books have happy endings. There’s just a lot of emotional stuff in the books before you get to the good ending. Plot twists and heavy moments are included, but I think that’s what makes her books good. She’s hated by a lot by loved by so many more. Her books aren’t for everyone but I’m personally a huge fan. It Ends With Us is a standalone novel, Colleen is only making It Starts With Us because the fans loved IEWU so much. She said it picks up right after IEWU. You technically don’t have to read ISWU if you don’t want to, it’s not necessary. If you check colleen’s instagram she has a post with a diagram full of all her books and which ones connect and which ones are standalones. I really truly recommend her work but I understand your hesitancy. If you do read her books I hope you enjoy! 💗

alright i think im gonna take the risk😄

Is ‘It Starts With Us’ by CoHo a worthy read?

it’s twisted how booktok hyped ‘it ends with us’ and it turned out to be a huge disappointment (imho) for most of us.. many people just pre-decided to cast ‘it starts with us’ away and not even bother wasting their time over it.

but let me tell you people.. if you’ve actually read IEWU then ISWU is definitely a better and wholesome read. it’s much better and much more maturely handled..

the plot flows in a pretty decent way and for once, the chemistry between atlas and lily doesn’t seem forced..

🔖 it’s a 4/5 from me

(‘it ends with us’ was a 2.5/5)

I still want you

angst,fluff AU where Taehyung is a member of BTS and you are part of an american girlband called 5 O'clock. You’ve been a fan for a long time, and you’ll soon discover that Taehyung, is also a very big fan of your band. You meet each other for the first time at the BBMA’s and things take off from there.

Here’s some basic information: Popular american girlband called 5 o'clock (Y/N, Claire, Claudia, Maria, Sarah) they mainly sing pop, rap and r&b

Rate: +18

Warnings: eventual smut

Chapter 1. Intro

March 16th, 2018

The lights blind you

you are out of breath

will you be able to perform with a hole in your heart?

you had never felt a pain this hard before

the preassure on your chest keeps getting tighter,

you look down

thousands of fans are waiting for you to start your song

how are you supposed to sing

if your soul is broken?

sadness overtakes your whole body

and you begin,

with tears on your eyes

May 20, 2017. Almost one year before.

Two days until the BBMA’s. You and the rest of your group are promoting your new album, which came out a week ago. It’s the best one yet and it has succeeded a lot, getting to the top of every music chart in the US.

“So, 5 O'clock, it’s been two years since you debuted, but this last year you’ve gained a lot of recognition. Why do you think you’ve become so big in such a short amount of time? I mean, it’s incredible how fast you’ve grown.” Ellen, the host, is sitting on her usual couch sipping tea while you and the members move nervously on the sofa next to her. It’s the first time your band has gone to the Ellen Show, and you were all really looking forward to it. “Also, aren’t you all very young?”

“Well, we honestly have no idea, it just kind of happened” laughs Maria, the leader of the group. She has long straight blonde hair and green eyes, known for dressing posh, her contagious laugh, her shy personality and her optimistic attitude. “And we are not that young, we are on our early 20’s already, although we were 18 and 19 when we debuted. Right now we are just very grateful that our music is reaching so many people.”

“You bet. And believe me, you are still very young. Enjoy it while you can.” Ellen smiles and suddenly turns to you. “y/n, I’ve heard a couple of rumours here and there about you and BTS. I’ll just ask you straight. Do you have a crush on any of the members?”

The audience suddenly starts screaming really hard and you cover your face with your hands, laughing out of embarrassment. Your band posted “behind the scenes” videos once or twice a month, so the fans could get to know you and the members better. The thing is, you had been caught either fangirling about BTS or watching fanmade videos of them, and the shipping wars had began.

God, you thought, this is the worst. Because you did have a huge crush on one of the members, Taehyung.

“Ok, Ellen, I don’t.” You lied, giggling way too much at your words. Claudia was looking at the floor trying not to betray you with her amused face, Maria was staring at you with a small smile, and Claire and Sarah were directly laughing out loud.

“She’s lying Ellen, she does have a crush. More like a major crush, like a "I want to marry him kind of crush”.“ Claire was known for not being able keep her mouth shut at the worst possible situations. She was still your best friend though, the one you trusted to the most.

"Damn it Claire, shut up. There’s no way I’ll say who it is, I don’t want problems with Army.” You laughed and looked at Ellen, asking her with your eyes to drop the subject.

She did, and started talking about your new single and the rest of the album. You felt relieved since you really didn’t want to cause any problems with the fandom, you knew how possessive some of them were of their idols and you wanted to keep your band image clean.

How did several Colleen Hoover books impact you? I'm struggling to follow what you are saying.

Well, let me just say if I ever wrote something as shocking and traumatic as Verity, I think I’d check in with a doctor. That book is effed up. So yeah it impacted me! As a mother, as a woman, as just a human I didn’t like it.

IEWU and ISWU have heavy domestic violence themes. I also don’t like reading sex scenes. I enjoy LIGHT romance and nice books.

I don’t know what else to say lol
