While the novel has become a New York Times bestseller and favorite amongst readers — even those who are victims of domestic violence —  its critics think differently. They believe the plot of “It Ends With Us” is not educational and does not raise awareness of the issue — instead, it romanticizes it. The controversial plot became more hotly debated after its movie debut in August. 

Overall, I gave this book two out of five stars.

Here are five books to read before they hit the big screen in the near future.
