It Starts with Us: A Novel (It Ends with Us Book 2) Kindle Edition

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.

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).

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The queen of the bestseller lists." — USA Today

“This sequel to BookTok phenom It Ends With Us stands on its own, a portrait of the dynamics of domestic violence.” — People

“Hoover breaks hearts all over again in this stunning sequel to her bestselling It Ends with Us . . . The author’s talent for creating nuanced and empathetic characters is on full display, and fans will be especially excited to finally hear Atlas’s side of the story. Hoover is as unafraid as ever to explore the darker and more vulnerable aspects of love, expertly demonstrating the soul-deep trust required to reach happily after ever.” — Publishers Weekly (starred)

“Through palpable tension balanced with glimmers of hope, Hoover beautifully captures the heartbreak and joy of starting over.” — Kirkus Reviews

“This romance delivers on all the goods that has made Hoover such a sensation on TikTok: frank sex scenes, high-stakes twists, ingenious plotting and capital-D DRAMA.” — New York Post

No because what. Amazon literally dropped the book off at 12:15 PM and the time is now 3:12 AM. I literally finished the book in less than 24 hours. Thank you Colleen because it gave me the closure I needed for Lily. The book is captivating and I could not - for the life of me - put the book down. It gave me hope, suspense, love, and resentment. I was on a roller coaster of emotions and I am GRATEFUL I was off today. My full focus was this book and it didn’t disappoint. Thank you

I’ll admit, I am brand new to Colleen Hoover. It Ends With Us was the first book I read of hers which I absolutely loved! So of course I immediately add to cart It Starts With Us and let me say, I could NOT put it down! I read it in one day. I had to find out how Atlas and Lily end their love story. It did not disappoint!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written, though a bit heavy on “monologues”

An emotionally intelligent love story, not just romantic love but family and friend love too. Perhaps a bit unrealistic that so many of the characters (including kids) have a high level of wisdom, insight and emotional restraint, but a good read nonetheless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story and very well written
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2024

As an author myself, I write to entertain. Being dyslexic makes writing extremely difficult. When reading, I want to be entertained and I want to learn. I read like a writer, so I read for fun and I dissect every aspect of a book to find out what I like and don't like, and why I feel that way. I liked every aspect of this book, the beginning, the middle, the end, the characters, and the story. I developed an upmost respect for Colleen Hoover as a writer while reading it. I also learned a great deal about writing enter thoughts and POV. I have used the standard italics for enter thought and I've used texting, but I've never used a diary or writing letters. I am a big fan of scene setting and read James Lee Burke to help me improve my scenes. Scene settings helps pull readers inside books. But Colleen Hoover uses a lot of enter thought to set her scenes and she does it masterfully. It not only dragged me into the scenes but allowed me to understand her characters better. I also thought it was great that each chapter stated who's POV each character’s head we were in at the beginning of the chapter. That caused a lot less confusion, so the book doesn't read like it's head hopping. Larry McMurtry gets criticized for "head hopping" but I love his books. I'm sure he laughs all the way to the bank. I read Nelson DeMille for enter thought and he's a master at it, especially when using sarcasm or humor. But Colleen Hoover takes it to a higher level. Thanks for a great story and some good writing lessons, expectably in POV and head hopping. This book gets a much deserved 5-star rating on many levels. I've already ordered It Ends With Us to see what I missed.

3.0 out of 5 stars An okay sequel
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2024

I was so excited to read It Starts with Us after loving the first book in the series, but unfortunately, this sequel left me a bit disappointed. While it was sweet to see the characters get a happy ending, I found this book incredibly hard to get through. It took me over a year to finish because the pacing was slow and there just wasn't much happening to keep me engaged. Though I did enjoy the continuation of the characters' stories, the overall experience didn't live up to the high expectations set by the first book. In my opinion, the first book was significantly better.

Good book with a happy ending. The ending horrible - the absolute worst wedding vows I’ve ever heard! I honestly couldn’t believe that someone would talk so much about their love ending or heart being broken or divorce as part of their marriage vows. But other than that a decent story.
