The book Leave If You Love Colleen Hoover

"Leave It If You Love Me" is a psychological drama novel by American writer Colleen Hoover. The richly sentimental prose reveals the acute social theme of domestic violence, abusive relationships, and the difficult choice between love and one's own safety. In the original language, the title of the book sounds like "It Ends With Us." Even here, it is about breaking the cycle of violence, when demons that seemed securely asleep in the cradle of the past suddenly catch up in adulthood, and a new love reflects the family relationships of parents...

"Leave it if you love it" - about breaking out of the vicious circle of toxic relationships

Lily Bloom did not have a carefree childhood. She witnessed firsthand the brutal abuse of her mother, carefully concealed to preserve her father's reputation.

After the death of her father, 23-year-old Lily runs away to Boston to start a new life. In Boston, fate brings her together with Ryle Kinkel, a confident, successful and handsome neurosurgeon, in whose arms Lily feels like she's in a fairy tale. He's smart, witty, charismatic and protective. He's her ideal.

And it's so easy not to notice the red flags that begin to flutter one after another against the backdrop of the intoxicating fog of happiness... The ideal gradually turns into a monster, the happy universe collapses, and Lily's consciousness blooms. Will Lily survive, will she have the strength to break the connection despite the crazy passion and all-encompassing tenderness that abusers so skillfully evoke?

The author warns her readers against falling into the trap of abusive love. In the form of a captivating fictional narrative, Colleen Hoover speaks frankly about emotional swings, the appeal of abusers, the game of empathy and pity, and gaslighting.
