Publisher Description
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 and major motion picture 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.
Switching between the perspectives of Lily and Atlas, It Starts with Us picks up right where the epilogue for the “gripping, pulse-pounding” (Sarah Pekkanen, author of Perfect Neighbors) bestselling phenomenon It Ends with Us left off. Revealing more about Atlas’s past and following Lily as she embraces a second chance at true love while navigating a jealous ex-husband, it proves that “no one delivers an emotional read like Colleen Hoover” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author).
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Romance superstar Colleen Hoover helps us bask in the light at the end of the tunnel in this emotional, romantic novel. Still skittish from an abusive marriage, Lily is trying her absolute best to make a new life for herself and her infant daughter. And it looks like she might have a second chance at romance with her old flame Atlas—who might just be her one true love—but her jealous, rage-filled ex-husband, Ryle, makes that dream feel impossible. Fans will recognize the characters from Hoover’s wildly successful bestseller It Ends With Us, but even newcomers will love this sensitive tale about a survivor contemplating a well-earned shot at happiness. We loved the insight that the shifting POVs gave us into Lily and Atlas as the former teen lovers navigate a very complicated grown-up relationship. Narrators Olivia Song and Colin Donnell made us feel every ounce of trepidation and romantic flutter from both characters. This is a story that’s easy to swoon over.
Customer Reviews
It’s ok, good finish to the first book
It was a pretty slow boring book but after listening to the It Ends With Us I was happy to listen to this book to see how the story ends.
Ugh terrible
Please read if you want to hear about “how they put a condom on everytime before doing the nasty because protection is important” WHICH IS GREAT AND ALL but this is fantasy for a reason, can you just let me enjoy it without being all socially correct? Also it’s just so unbelievable, conversations between Lilly and Atlas are so forced. Same with situations between them just don’t seem natural or of chance/spur of the moment. It’s sooooooo boring. The first one was sm better. I WOULD LITERALLY RETURN AND GET MY MONEY BACK IF I COULD. Save yourself the time. do not read
started strong
i enjoyed the first half! definitely not as good as the first in the series
