It Starts with Us: A Novel (2) (It Ends with Us)

Before It Ends with Us, it started with Atlas. Colleen Hoover tells fan favorite Atlas’s side of the story and shares what comes next in this long-anticipated sequel to the “glorious and touching” (USA TODAY) #1 New York Times bestseller It Ends with Us.

Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil coparenting rhythm when she suddenly bumps into her first love, Atlas, again. After nearly two years separated, she is elated that for once, time is on their side, and she immediately says yes when Atlas asks her on a date.

But her excitement is quickly hampered by the knowledge that, though they are no longer married, Ryle is still very much a part of her life—and Atlas Corrigan is the one man he will hate being in his ex-wife and daughter’s life.

I loved it ends with us but this really just wasn’t as good. It felt like an easy read and just like the author was trying to wrap up the story fast. It wasn’t terrible but not the best.

Gave it 30% before I DNF'd. Cringey. So cringey. YA characters have more in depth conversations.

Oh gosh. Just when I thought I couldn’t love Atlas Corrigan more, Colleen gives us this sequel. Not quite as dramatic as the first book but sometimes you just need a little bit of a fluffy love story. P.S it is my wish for you to be my fish 😭😭
