Summary
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).

I’m so sad I loved it ends with us… but this story had NO plot and was VERY under developed. I wish Colleen had sat on this for awhile and fleshed out a true plot. There was a lot of potential , a lot of great characters to work with and Just fell flat. I’m so bummed I hope she does a third one thst she actually fleshes out and redeems herself and these characters that deserved better

Not as good as the first. Plot was blah but it was nice to close up some loose ends lingering from the first book.

I felt this book was rushed. There was no plot and I kept waiting for something to happen, but nothing ever did. A lot of repetition and wordy parts that just seemed to be filler. I fast forwarded through some of it.

The first book in the series was good so I looked forward to the sequel. However, It Starts with Us, was ridiculous! I had to skip most of it just to get to the end because the plot was so unrealistic and schmaltzy!

The female narrator makes the book come off even more immature than the writing.

I really liked Ms Hoover's book " It Ends With Us", but this book," It Starts With Us" doesn't have much tension, action or suspense. I kept waiting for something significant to happen and then it was over. Lesley T

I enjoyed this book. I don’t want to spoil it to people but I love a happy ending. I also like how this book was more about Atlas.

The book was lame and the narrators voice change when voicing Atlas was so jarring and unnecessary

I enjoyed this and the narrator was very good. A little mature, but it was not rated for the very young.

First of Colleen Hoovers books that didn’t have me not wanting to put my book down. Took me months to read, which then finally led me to download the audiobook for it. Finished it thanks to the audiobook, but there really was no plot. Did it “start” with Lily and Atlas? Or was the title meant for Josh? I’m pretty disappointed.

It's okay...I'm left wanting a little more from the story line. Boring and cheesy at times and I am not hard to entertain. Honestly, the book feels rushed like a cash would have waited longer to be able to really feel the passion between Atlas and Lilly. Can a book be lack Lustre?

It was extremely boring and read like a self help book. The story lacked climax and substance and had a lot of repetition. The narrator was to perfect and precise.
