Every Change The It Ends With Us Film Has From The Colleen Hoover Book

How does It Ends With Us portray Ryle’s abuse? 

The film’s handling of domestic violence is a major difference from the books, even having scenes play out differently altogether. In the novel, when Ryle burns his hand, he doesn’t push Lily down until he’s trying to cool it off under the sink—whereas in the movie, it happens right after he touches the hot surface. 

Throughout that scene in the book, Lily is also supposed to be uncontrollably laughing from intoxication (until Ryle turns violent). “Goddammit, Lily,” Ryle tells her in the book. “It’s not funny. This hand is my f–king career.”

And after he pushes Lily down the stairs in the book, she kicks Ryle out of the apartment—which leaves him to sleep in the hallway all night.  

The conversations surrounding abuse also play out differently in the film. For starters, Ryle doesn’t learn about Lily’s family history of domestic violence until after they’ve been dating a while in the movie but in the book, it happens on the first night they meet.  

A new addition to the movie is a poignant conversation between Lily and her sister-in-law Allyssa (Jenny Slate) after she finds out about Ryle’s abusive behavior and tells Lily about Ryle accidentally shooting his brother as children. In the book, it’s Ryle who explains to Lily how his brother died, and Allyssa never tells Lily she shouldn’t take Ryle back due to his abusive behavior.
