:star::star::star::star::star: 5/5 STARSIt Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover was exactly what I needed after It Ends With Us. :face_holding_back_tears::blue_heart:After everything Lily went through, getting to see her finally have the chance to build a life with Atlas made me SO happy. She deserved the opportunity to experience love without constantly being afraid of what would happen next.And ATLAS??? :face_holding_back_tears:I loved getting to know him more in this book. Seeing his perspective and learning more about his past made me understand him so much better. The way he cared for Lily and Emmy and wanted to give them a safe, loving home was everything.Lily finally choosing herself and choosing a healthier future for herself and her daughter was one of my favorite parts. She didn't owe Ryle another chance just because he was Emmy's father.And Ryle… :neutral_face:The way he tried to insert himself back into Lily's life and act like he could still have a say in her relationship with Atlas made me so frustrated. Lily had already made her choice, and he needed to respect it.BUT THAT ENDING?! :sob:Lily and Atlas getting married and having their little family together?? After EVERYTHING they had been through?? My hopeless-romantic heart was HAPPY. :face_holding_back_tears::blue_heart:And Emmy being surrounded by love and finally getting the kind of family environment she deserved made the ending even more beautiful.I also loved seeing Lily and Atlas communicate and actually work through things instead of allowing misunderstandings to destroy what they were building.This book gave me healing, hope, love, frustration, and SO many emotions.After everything Lily survived, seeing her finally get her happy ending with Atlas felt like watching her finally breathe again.:star: Rating: 5/5:thought_balloon: Mood: emotional • relieved • hopeful • angry • happy • hopelessly romantic:book: Lily deserved her happy ending. Atlas deserved his too. And I'm SO glad they found it together. :blue_heart:Atlas is my new book boyfriend 😊😅
Enquanto o primeiro livro encerrava seu principal conflito de maneira satisfatória, esta continuação parece existir mais para prolongar uma história que já havia encontrado seu desfecho. Grande parte da tensão desaparece, dando lugar a um romance mais previsível e confortável. Os personagens continuam carismáticos, mas evoluem pouco em relação ao livro anterior. A leitura permanece agradável pela fluidez da escrita, porém falta a força emocional que justificaria seu retorno. É um livro que entretém mais do que surpreende.
Before It Ends with Us, it started with Atlas. Colleen Hoover tells fan favorite Atlas’ 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.
I don’t think “It Ends with Us” NEEDED a sequel but it was fun getting to learn more about Atlas and having the dual POVs in this one to see Lily with a different set of eyes. This was definitely a much LIGHTER book than the first and more deserving of the “romance” classification. Where the first book dealt with childhood trauma/abuse and domestic abuse, this one focuses on moving forward and breaking cycles. It was nice to see Lily and Atlas finally find that peace together. It was a sweet read, but I also can’t help but think it read like a really long epilogue for the first book. It doesn’t have the same power as the first, but is great if you want to delve more into the Atlas and Lily dynamic.
Aunque algunos consideran innecesario este libro (yo igual lo pensé), me agradó saber la post recuperación de Lily. Me habría gustado que Ryle no lo hubiera sacado tan facil
This book was really sweet. I loved how it showed that Ryle did interfere a bit in Atlas and Lily relationship, it showed realism. And this book also showed the type of guy that's every girl's dream especially a girl that suffers a broken marriage with a child.
the book doesn't have a meaning behind it, but just reading how Lily's life ended up with Atlas is good enough for me. i still am curious about some stuff, like, was Ryle at the wedding or was Sutton at the wedding? but ig Colleen's point was to make sure that Lily and Atlas don't care about the people who brought sadness and problems into their lives, ig it's just their day, with their people. i absolutely loved the book.
I just finished this book like one day I just couldn’t put it down, specially I finished it ends with us the night before so this book was like a healing to me, I really love Atlas so much he’s just so good to be true , and i liked how Lily started focus on her daughter life and also her personal life , Lily and Atlas are so freaking good together they’re the perfect match to each other, i felt so sad about Ryle he did a really bad thing no doubt about that but I don’t know why the author showed him as a really bad so bad person in this book , but overall this book was really fun to read and so much giggle in it so sweet and happy and romantic plot it wasn’t like the first one so much drama and stuff, no it was really calm and sweet.
A brilliant follow on to It Ends with Us. I really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this book more than the first one I'm happy Atlas and Lilly lived happily ever after josh is absolutely adorable ❤
“Correrei 8 km solo per abbracciarti”Non è semplice parlare di questo libro, il rischio di risultare banale o scontata è dietro l’angolo.Sicuramente leggendolo bisogna tener sempre presente che è un romanzo, non sempre nella vita reale uscire da una situazione di quel tipo e trovare degli accordi con l’ex avviene in questo modo.Ho apprezzato molto lo sviluppo degli eventi, dall’indecisione di Lily sul lasciare la bambina di notte a dormire da Ryle fino alla sua decisione di prendere in mano la situazione e dettare delle regole per il bene della bambina. In entrambi i casi mi ha fatto piacere che lei abbia trovato il coraggio di affrontarlo, sola o meno che fosse, e di dirgli esattamente il perché delle sue azioni, così da fugare ogni dubbio: tutto ruota intorno ad Emmy.Il personaggio ovviamente che ho amato di più è Atlas, buono, gentile, premuroso, attento, protettivo, sexy (si può dire?)… è il tipo di uomo con cui veramente pensare di pianificare una vita intera non spaventa. Mi è piaciuto leggere il suo POV, capire le sue preoccupazioni e i suoi pensieri, fa riflettere come lui considera Lily, indipendentemente dall’amore che prova, e quanto sia grande la gratitudine che prova per lei. Mi sono commossa a leggere del fratello e di come la sua sola missione fosse proteggerlo da persone che avrebbero dovuto volergli bene e dargli la vita che lui non ha avuto. La parte della piantina mi ha dato il colpo di grazie. La riprova della bella persona che lui è sta nella possibilità che da alla madre, non per lui ma per il fratello. Ovviamente il romanzo pone attenzione anche sulle due diverse relazioni: l’approfondimento della relazione con Atlas mette in chiara evidenza tutto ciò che non andava con Ryle e come nonostante si volesse procedere con calma, quando due persone sanno di appartenersi non esiste un tempo più giusto di un altro per dimostrarlo e viversi. Menzione speciale credo vada anche a Marshall e Allysa: due personaggi che sono stati fondamentali per Lily, altruisti e in grado di essere imparziali, cosa non scontata data la loro posizione. Sono felice di aver avuto una vera conclusione della storia, alla fine di It Ends With Us pensavo davvero che sia Lily che Atlas meritassero la possibilità di essere felici.
The plot was very flat and was too long of a story. It should of just been a novella.
