It shows Lily Bloom (Blake Lively)\u00a0visiting her hometown, all for her father&#8217;s funeral. Lily\u00a0walks slowly up the lonely podium before many people that seem to train their beady eyes on her. She says she will list her five favourite things about her father, though instead of tearing up and listing things, she stands there quietly. Not because she was nervous, but because she had nothing nice to say about her father. The start of the film describes Lily\u2019s trauma in such a little way that we as the audience can only picture a blip of her past life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/09\/it-ends-with-us2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/09\/it-ends-with-us2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5611\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/09\/it-ends-with-us2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/09\/it-ends-with-us2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/09\/it-ends-with-us2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/09\/it-ends-with-us2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/09\/it-ends-with-us2-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/83\/2024\/09\/it-ends-with-us2.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the rest of the film starts to unfold, with Lily then moving to Boston to start her own business and becoming a unique florist, things then turn when she meets a very handsome neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni), but when getting deep into the relationship Lily encounters another side of Ryle that was very similar to her father. Then the plot twists when Lily\u2019s first love Atlas Corrigan (Brandon Sklenar) becomes involved unexpectedly in Lily\u2019s life.
