It Starts with Us: the highly anticipated sequel to IT ENDS WITH US

Product Information

Yes that would have been sad, but I think everyone knew that Lily and Atlas would get together; in my view the book didn't add that much to that. also ps, ryle deserved much MUCH worse - it’s been 6 years since i read IEWU and the only thing he gained was the fucking audacity. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind. the only thing i could give it ends with us merit for was the message of breaking the cycle (even that is up for debate). Y’all can say anything nasty about Ryle and I would completely agree, but you also have to admit that this guy is nothing but ✨ consistent ✨ in his abusive behavior.

Through palpable tension balanced with glimmers of hope, Hoover beautifully captures the heartbreak and joy of starting over. Never seen anything like it': how Colleen Hoover's normcore thrillers made her America's bestselling author". And in fact, to spell out Lily's future in the way that this sequel did took something away from the difficulty of Lily's decision at the end of the first book. Marianka Swain of The Daily Telegraph gave the novel 2 out of 5 stars, describing Hoover's writing quality as "closer to Fifty Shades of Grey, a strange mix of twee and graphic, plus the added irritant of solemn therapy-speak pronouncements. Song uses a lighter, sweet voice for Lily’s best friend and differentiates male voices in conversation.Switching between the perspectives of Lily and Atlas, 'It Starts with Us' picks up right where the epilogue for 'It Ends with Us' left off. Switching between the perspectives of Lily and Atlas, It Starts with Us picks up right where the epilogue for the bestselling phenomenon It Ends with Us left off. A year and a half later, Theo helps a nervous Atlas go over his wedding vows to Lily, which include a reference to Finding Nemo. it just feels like she is monetizing off the weird success it ends with us got on booktok, and it definitely reads like a cash grab as well.

Let me start by saying this: there’s going to be a lot of hate for this book for the sole reason people just want to dislike this author for their popularity and there’s this hate train going on for the littlest things this author does so I already know people are going to just come out of the woodworks and find the tiniest thing to hate on this. I’ll admit; the discussion around abuse in this book wasn’t AS bad as in ‘It Ends With Us’, but it still felt pretty one dimensional and pissed me off at times. This is why these idiots on TikTok are romanticizing this shit, thinking this is some kind of love triangle. edit: for those of you in my comments going “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say it at all!It was an alright way to pass a few hours if you're not quite ready to leave the world of Lily and Atlas. i swore i’d never read another coho book, but it ends with us was the only one i could somewhat stomach so i decided to read it starts with us to see how it was.
