'I love you,' she assures him.

Lily poses a powerful question to Ryle: 'If one day you had a daughter, what would you say to her?

'She came to you and said the person she loved was hurting her? What would you say to her?'

Over voiceover, she muses, 'As hard as this choice is. We break the pattern. Or the pattern breaks us.'

It Ends With Us is set for release on August 9.

Hoover previously revealed It Ends With Us was 'the hardest book I've ever written' as it is based on the relationship between her parents.

'If one day you had a daughter, what would you say to her?' Lily asks Ryle. 'She came to you and said the person she loved was hurting her? What would you say to her?'
