Description
"Kylie Scott’s unique voice and engrossing story are perfect for fans of Sarah Hogle and Tessa Bailey"—Library Journal
New York Times bestselling sensation Kylie Scott’s sexy, smart and unconventional opposites-attract love story looks at what happens when fate refuses to give up on what’s meant to be…
When Susie Bowen inherits a charming fixer-upper from her aunt, she’s excited to start living her best HGTV life. But when she opens the door to find that her contractor is none other than her ex’s best friend, Lars—the same man who witnessed their humiliating public breakup six months ago—she isn’t exactly eager to have anyone around whose alliance is with the enemy. But beggars can’t be choosers, and the sooner the repairs are done, the sooner she can get back to embracing singledom.
Things go from awkward to unbelievable when Lars discovers a divorce certificate hidden in a wall and dated ten years in the future—with both their names on it. It couldn’t possibly be real…could it? As Susie and Lars work to unravel the document’s origins, the impossibility of a spark between them suddenly doesn’t seem so far-fetched. But would a relationship between them be doomed before it’s even begun?
“Sweet and spicy—the unique setup, top-notch banter and charming enigma had me hooked.” —Anna E. Collins, author of Love at First Spite
Don’t miss Kylie’s next title, THE LAST DAYS OF LILAH GOODLUCK, about a woman who unexpectedly finds "fall in love with a prince" at the top of her bucket list!

Fresh and Fun
5By Crazy quickdrawGreat story line. Easy to read; didn’t put it down. Lived the characters.Loved this funny and quirky love story
5By Nola.passionista504End of Story is a fun and quirky love story written by Scott. If you want to catch up on how Susie starts off on her current journey than I would read the prequel Beginning of the End, but it’s not required. Susie had been struck by tragedy many times in her life. Her parents divorced, she lost her support system in her aunt and now she’s faced with a breakup. She’s faced with a home remodel and having to get help from her ex’s best friend. With a little bit of magic and paranormal elements to this story Susie and Lars are thrown into a storm of trying to figure out how a divorce decree dated 10 years into the future bonds them together. We see them question and also try to solve the puzzle of how this happened. We see them go through hurdles to try to figure out how they fit in each others lives. We see the banter, them pushing each others buttons as they are true opposites attract. Their friendship builds, and they become one another’s safety net. Loved seeing how hope, Fate and a little destiny brought these two together. Loved listening to this as an audiobook. The narrator Andi Arndt kept be engaged and loved the change in her voice characterizationsWhat a Read!
5By Melanie MilburnI LOVED this book! A mysterious divorce decree found behind a wall leads to more than just questions. The road they each takes to find answers leads them not only better self awareness, but closer together. Susie and Lars are an amazing pair, as much as they fight it. And the steaminess is off the charts!1000/10!
5By VKyotoPerfecto Enjoyed this read, the lack of arguments and solid communication was perfect for me. I love how the two characters connected and evolved in this story! 1000/10!Witty, Romantic, and So, So Good!
5By coffeegoddesstmkOne of my favorite things as a reader is to jump into a book with only a synopsis and knowledge that you've really enjoyed the author's books in the past. I went into END OF STORY by Kylie Scott, having read only a couple of her books, and none of them the ones that are most often mentioned. I am a big fan of friends to lovers, especially those with a twist, and knew that I like Kylie's style, so in I went. I was absolutely delighted with this story, with Susie and Lars and the whole sort of mystery behind their romance, and so glad that I had the opportunity to read this book. Kylie has infused Susie, Lars, and really all of the characters, with wit as well as self-knowledge and sensitivity, and their interactions left me smiling and invested in seeing where their journey took them through all of the twists and turns. END OF STORY is a quick read, not because it's short, but because I didn't want to stop until I saw how everything turned out for everyone, and I could not put it down. END OF STORY is a solid 4.5 stars for me, and one of my favorite contemporary romance reads of 2023. I wouldn't mind at all if we got stories for more of the characters in this world. As a note, END OF STORY is completely different from any of Kylie's books that I've read (or listened to!) in the past. If contemporary romance with characters that you'd want to hang out with are your thing, this one should definitely be on your TBR. Grab it and enjoy! ❤️
