Dear Ellen, I am so happy that this book exists, and when I meet you, I'll tell you all about it because you just got to keep swimming, and then you'll make it. Keep reading to find out what book I'm talking about today. 


Hey y'all, it's Kyla Denanyoh, and today we're talking about Ellen DeGeneres, Keep Swimming, and books. So today we're talking about the book, It Ends With Us. The author of the book is Colleen Hoover. The genre of the book is fiction. The theme of the book is relationships. 


So, I read this book six years ago. Way before Colleen Hoover, before she was such a big deal and on every billboard and every poster and everything. The Libby app tells me I read it in 2018. And I recently heard that they're gonna try to turn it into a TV show or a movie. So I was like, let me pick it up again and read it. I forgot what the book was about. Y'all, I had to put this book down three times. Three. 


I read it, oh my God, it's so great. Somebody gets hit. I read it, oh my God, wait. Somebody gets beaten up with a baseball bat. Okay, I'm reading it, oh my God, wait. Now somebody's pregnant? I forgot about the drama. I forgot about the heartache. I forgot about the writing. 


Colleen Hoover has been writing for years, and now she is getting all of this respect and renown, and it's well-deserved because her writing, from pen to paper and keyboard, is truly impressive. I love that Lily spends half of the book rereading her journal entries to Ellen DeGeneres. She used to watch the Ellen show, and she was writing to her like Hey, if I ever meet you, da da da da. I am a big journaler. I have journals absolutely everywhere. I love journaling, and sometimes I do reread them, but it's hard to reread them because you're not the 13-year-old you were or the 23-year-old you were. 


Hoover writes a lot of books that I really love. I've done a review on the book Verity. In fact, reading this book, I was like, I don't know if I can watch it adapted to a TV show or a movie because the violent scenes are so heartbreaking.


It's such a good book. And again, I've recently given myself permission to reread books. So I'm definitely going to reread it before this movie, TV show, whatever they're expecting to come out, comes out. I finished the book in two days because I couldn't put it down. Well, actually, I could put it down because whenever I would get to a really emotional part, it would make me start crying, and I would just, I'm reading in my bed, and I'm like, why is my pillow covered up? Because I'm silently sobbing. 


The writing was fantastic to see Lily go through these different relationships and these different interactions with love, and how love changes, builds, and grows. And even the course of the entire relationship, she says, was like a year and a half. There were massive changes within a year and a half. 


Until the next book review, Kyla
