Lily's experiences shape her perspective on relationships from "summary" of It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover

Throughout Lily's life, she has faced various experiences that have deeply impacted her outlook on relationships. From witnessing her father's abuse towards her mother to her own toxic relationship with Ryle, these events have shaped her perspective in profound ways. As a young girl, Lily watched her father physically harm her mother, instilling in her a fear of intimate relationships. This trauma left a lasting imprint on her, causing her to approach love with caution and apprehension. Despite her reservations, Lily falls in love with Ryle, a charming and successful neurosurgeon. However, their relationship takes a dark turn when Ryle exhibits violent behavior towards her. This toxic dynamic forces Lily to confront her fears and reevaluate her beliefs about love and sacrifice. As Lily navigates the complexities of her relationship with Ryle, she also grapples with her feelings for Atlas, a childhood friend who offers her stability and understanding. Through her interactions with Atlas, Lily begins to see the possibility of a healthy and supportive partnership, contrasting sharply with her past experiences.
  1. Lily's journey towards self-discovery leads her to make difficult choices about what she is willing to tolerate in a relationship. Her experiences with both Ryle and Atlas force her to confront her own internalized beliefs about love, respect, and self-worth, shaping her perspective on relationships in ways she never anticipated.
