It Starts with Us
the highly anticipated sequel to IT ENDS WITH US
Description of book
Before It Ends with Us, it started with Atlas. Colleen Hoover tells fan favourite Atlas’s side of the story and shares what comes next in this long-anticipated sequel to the #1 Sunday Times bestseller It Ends with Us
Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil co-parenting 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 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, bestselling author).

Such a good book! I was slightly disappointed that there was a 2 year gap at the end and we don’t really get much else of Atlas and Lily after it but the rest of the book is such a good follow on from it ends with us!A must-read

3/5 ⭐️ It’s ok. Not wow, but not bad. Very goofy, what you would expect of Colleen Hoover. Would only read knowing it had no plot twist or rocky road, but I guess its expected when its a continuation of it ends with us.For the road trip

- Jes!!! Der perfekte zweite Teil zu "It Ends With Us". "It Starts With Us" heilt das gebrochene Herz, mit dem man am Ende von IEWU zurückgelassen wird und gibt einem trotz aller Problematiken einen Ausblick auf ein Happy End. Während IEWU KEIN Liebesroman ist, ist ISWU absolut einer. Während Lily damit umgehen muss mit ihrem abuser zu co-parenten (mich hat da die Familienbeziehung, zwischen Emmy, Ryle und Lily sehr interessiert, weil wie geht man damit um, wenn man nicht mehr eine romantische Beziehung zu seinem Abuser hat, aber immer noch eine Beziehung zu ihm hat? Und ich habe so großen Hass auf diesen Mann, ich kann's wirklich nicht in Worte fassen), arbeitet Atlas den abuse auf, den er in seiner Familie erfahren hat. Was ISWU macht, ist nicht die falsche Hoffnung zu geben, dass man mit dem richtigen Partner alles overcomed und der abuse dann plötzlich vorbei ist - es gibt nicht DAS Happy End - wie im richtigen Leben eben.

- Parempi kuin edeltävä osa. Tykkäsin kahdesta lukijasta. Aika siirappinen hetkittäin, mutta ihana ja hyvin kirjoitettu. Romantikkona uppouduin tarinaan täysin, elin sen mukana ja liikutuinkin. Tästäkin ois kiva nähdä leffa jonain päivänä.
