Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have settled into a civil co-parenting routine when Lily unexpectedly runs into her first love, Atlas, after nearly two years apart. Overjoyed that fate has brought them back together, she eagerly agrees when Atlas asks her out on a date.
However, her excitement quickly fades when she realizes that, although she’s no longer married to Ryle, he is still very much a part of her life—and Atlas Corrigan is the one person Ryle will never accept being in his ex-wife and daughter’s life.
It Starts with Us picks up right where the epilogue of the gripping, pulse-pounding (Sarah Pekkanen, author of Perfect Neighbors) It Ends with Us left off, switching between the perspectives of Lily and Atlas. As Lily navigates her second chance at love while dealing with her jealous ex-husband, Atlas’s past is also explored in more depth. This emotional sequel proves that “no one delivers an emotional read like Colleen Hoover” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author).

I loved the writing style of the author and the humanity of the characters. Lily deserved a happy ending !

I am delighted with this sequel, at first I was not very convinced because I loved the first book and I was afraid that this second book would ruin the first one but after reading it I think it flowed very well and the continuation felt very natural and already after reading everything that happens I feel that it is logical that this book exists because we all needed more of the story of Lily and Atlas after the end of the first book, it’s not necessarily like the first but in my opinion it’s very good.

I just started reading Colleen Hoover’s novels. Finished 3 so far and currently reading another. I started reading It Ends With Us because I wanted to read the book before seeing the movie. Then I had to read It Starts With Us. It was a great! I hope they make it a movie as well, even though the movies are never as good as the books. Great stories. You won’t want to put the books down.
