It Starts with Us by Colleen Hoover
It Starts with Us by Colleen Hoover Book 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).

SO GOOD!!!. I read it ends with us in one night and turned around and read this the next day! It is impossible to put down!
Changing my rating.. Colleen Hoover should have sold this for 1.99. Her publicists knew everyone would buy this, but it was not worth what we paid. Lily and Atlas got married. Shocker. Nothing much else happened.
One of my favorite reads to date!. There hasn’t been a CoHo book that I didn’t enjoy, but this series has been my favorite thus far.
In Love. This book included with the first was just so hard to put down I loved every second I got to spend reading it!
Love. This book was heart warming . I loved every page , every chapter
it’s okay. it ends with us is better
The truth!. Not as good as the first book, but still a good read.
ahhh😁. Loved the ending was very pleased !
I need more!. Absolutely love this book. I couldn’t get enough of it. I wish there was another book. Love their story
Thank you. a great ending to this series and these characters, i could read about lily and atlas forever
LOVED THIS BOOK. I loved this book, I tried to saver as much as possible but it was nearly impossible to stop reading. I highly recommend this book and the first one!!
Beautiful ending. Thank you for continuing the story it’s amazing:)
By far, one of the best books I’ve read!. Love how the author was so detailed and I felt like I was there with all characters. I was invested to know more about each character and see how the story ended.
LOVE. Such a beautiful story, it was the closure we all needed for lily and atlas.
Loved it!!!. I purchased right after I finished It Ends With Us. Love Lily & Atlas 💞.
Good. Good
Loved but…. Wish the ending chapters had more volume and drama - specially the last one
Good book. This book was enjoyable. although i would say i enjoyed the first one better. I did like this book but it was one of those books where I just wanted to be done with it
Loved it!. I loved that Colleen gave Atlas and Lilly their love story, and that she allowed each of them to have a perspective. I couldn’t believe I was at the end of it when I realized the book was over. It truly made me want more. I could read the words of their love forever!
YES get it. Love Atlas and Lily getting the ending they both deserve. Finished it in half a day so the only thing I wish was that it was longer, but that’s my problem not Ms. Hoovers!
Oooooooohhhh I’m so in such awe. I didn’t think this would be as good as it ends with us but I was so wrong!!! Love love love love !!!!!!
Beautiful. I loved this book
Great love story. Loved how she realized she could have a wonderful life with the man she loved as a friend & soulmate
Beautiful. I love the ending to this book. It was absolutely beautiful. I cried, I felt all sorts of emotions, and I related to the characters. This book was beautiful
It starts with us. Amazing ! Loved this book
One Word: Chokehold. this book has me in a chokehold & im so glad i’ve read it now. after i read strictly business by carrie elks this book was the only one i wanted to read immediately after & i didn’t know why but now i know i just wanted to feel something & this definitely did it. as someone with a single mother that fought for me it completely made me so emotional & happy when i got to the ending.
Starts out good. This book held my attention until the final 100 pages then I just did my speed reading to get through the trite mundane final part. I literally could have written this part myself. No creativity at all. Hoover is much much better than this.
I NEED MOREEEE !! so goood. This is exactly what i needed to follow up with “ it ends with us “ but i still want more of Lily and Atlas - Emerson and Josh. It’s just too good of a story to only be two books. Colleen writes amazing stories and i’m always so hooked. it was so hard to put this book down and not sit around thinking about what’s to come. i love how all these pieces fell together
Love it!. The first book in the series was good, but this one is even better!
Loved it!. I enjoyed “It Ends with us” more than this book, which is why I only gave it 4 stars.
Got very bored 🥱. It’s obvious that write lost the creativity, very repetitive the story and unfortunately I didn’t finish because I was bored, nothing like the first one. TRUST ME
Good, not great.. Good book. It did feel a bit repetitive in some parts. Idk, felt like it was missing something.
The best. I just finished reading this book and it was so amazing.
It Starts With Us. As always, COLLEEN SLAYED!! the first book had me in the hooks but the second book had me IN ALL SORTS OF EMOTIONS. I definitely love the title because of the plot. Hoover you’ve done it once again
Worth waiting for. Everything I dreamed this sequel would be
Harm warming. Absolutely beautiful love story. I hadn’t read a book in probably a decade to be honest because I am ADD and struggle to read. For me this book sparked a bright light upon the beauty of reading books and I found a genre I now know I love. Thank you to the author Colleen Hoover for writing this. You have changed my life and I no longer will be afraid to read. I can’t wait to read more from Colleen, both these books were absolutely brilliant !
Amazing story. Beautiful story
Great book but... Loved the book but wish there was more at the end!
amazing as expected. i liked this book i liked the ending and everything the only thing i would’ve really really hoped for is rules point of view we never get his point of view it would’ve added taht kick but apart from everything else soo good colleen did it again
It Starts With Us. Love the this series. However the end was not what I was expecting, but I kinda like that it’s open ended. I would love to see a during book of Atlas and Lily.
Review. Amazing
The closure you knew you needed. UGHHHH this whole series had me SOBBING. While the first book had me ugly crying because of the pain, this one had me in happy tears. I needed this book so bad 🤍
I LOVED both books. I could see the difference of the life given by Atlas and Ryle. I hope this book can make a change in people who is or has been through something similar. As a personal opinion I loved Theo’s jokes. “P.S. It is my wish for you to be my fish.”
I get it.. I get that everybody wants a happy ending and she made this book because it was fan requested but it just wasn’t as good in my opinion as the first. I love the closure it gave with Atlas and Lilys relationship but I wish there was more substance in the book.
It Starts With Us. Love love love ❤️
Great ending with these characters. The epitome of they lived happily ever after wrapped into a sequel.
It was good..... I'm a fan of it ends with us and I was really exited for this book, but for me I think that atlas and lily relationship went too fast but did enjoy to know more about atlas it was a nice finally also.
It’s everything. Such an amazing book it made me cry, smile and laugh. I love it so much
Nothing like It Ends with Us. Super choppy writing. Too much conversation in this book for my liking.
The happy ending we needed. Great book giving us the happy ending we needed!

Boring book. It was really boring to read it. The ending was expected and she could’ve just turned this book into a chapter in It ends with us.
Gave me a new crush. Idc what you say atlas is so cute 💝💝
Read this. Absolutely amazing Colleen Hoover did it once again
So much love for Lily and Atlas. Phenomenal book! I loved every bit of what you created and it was exactly what I hoped for. Thank you for such an incredible story :)
Great sequel. This book perfectly picks up right where it ends with us leaves off. The story and the way they handled situations was beautiful and I loved how much Lily’s strength has grown. I felt like the last two chapters were really rushed and left me wanting more but over all the book was a fabulous sequel.
Great book, just needed an epilogue.. I wish there was more to the ending closing the characters story.
Loved every bit of it!. Im not sure why some people on tiktok think this sequel was not necessary! the last book ended great with Lily choosing to break the generational trauma the minute she gave birth BUT I would have been craving for an even better ending with Atlas and Lily! the sequel gave everything it was supposed to give. learning to heal and love again, making amends with the people you once loved simply for the betterment of the kids and the blossoming love story with Lily and Atlas. even with the struggle to get to that point was great to read because true love requires you to be mature, brave, for you to experience growth! thats all ill say for now but I personally would have gave this a 10/10 if i could.
READ THIS!!!. Could not stop reading this!! Absolutely beautiful.
Amazing. One of the best sequels I have ever read. 100% recommend both books.
Amazing. Love love love this!!!
It is my wish… to have a bit more than fish. A brilliant story by the author as usual. Sometimes I even don't know how I could live without her stories. Waiting for a new wonderful destiny. P.S.: The phrase about the wish-fish must be printed on t-shirts! I absolutely love these words.

It Starts With Is. Terrific! Lily & Atlas…great story of the deepest purest kind of love! Hooray….
Good Read. It was a good read, but felt as though it was a little drawn out in most of the book and very predictable as well. But still love that Atlas and Lily end up together! Perfect happily ever after!
Insanely good. Loved every part of this book
Rushed. You can feel that this book was an after thought. There were cute moments but overall felt like a teenager book. The first definitely out shined this one.
This will not disappoint!!. Amazing.. loved every chapter of it!
Too Sappy. I read the first book in this series and loved it so I bought the second one to see how the story ends. It was a little too sappy for me and nothing really exciting happens. Atlas seems just a little too perfect. I kept waiting for some intense, dramatic scene between Ryle and Atlas which starts to happen but then fizzles out.
A beautiful ending. As cheesy as it sounds, I loved that this book wraps up the series in a beautiful ending. Definitely provided the closure that everyone was seeking. Beautifully done- I loved it!
Perfect ending!. Perfect ending
A bit slow. I really liked part 1 (it ends with us) I found part 2 slow
Unbelievably Good. This book is so so so soooo good and it is a perfect ending to “It Ends With Us”. Perfectly written and I’m so happy with the ending!!!
I loved this book.. My favorite read of 2023 so far this book was a perfect example to say break off the abusive relationship and don’t think everyone is like them don’t judge someone off of another person.
Absolutely loved!. This book was such a great sequel to the first. It’s compelling and leaves you wonder what will happen next just like the first. I was so relieved with how it ended, it had me worried about how it would end.
I need more of Lily & Atlas. I’m too invested in these two and their love story. This was such a happy read and I wish it went on forever. It took me one day and I wish I took my time to savor it. Lily & Atlas came to life in my head and I think the author did an incredible job with the imagery.
A must read sequel. So good!
🥰. I love it every single part of it.
It was okay…. Could have been better it just didn’t live up to my expectations with the last book. It Ends With Us needed a sequel but it could have been written better. And Atlas I liked him but I also didn’t it was a weird love hate relationship with him.
Didn’t even finish. Maybe I’ll pick it up again one day, but not impressed at all.
Love. Loved this book. Leaves me wanting to read more of their story!
Read it in 2 days. Great sequel and once again a great message and inspiration not to fall victim of a cycle
Best book ever, my favorite!. I can’t even start to explain how much I enjoyed this book. It was beautifully written with much attention to detail. The storyline was phenomenal, I couldn’t stop reading it. I read the first book in 1 day and the second one the next day. It really is the best series I’ve ever read, and probably will be the best one for quite a while. I love how this book starts off exactly how the last one ended, leaving me with no questions. I absolutely loved the ending of the series, it ended perfectly and I didn’t need to ask myself questions about what happened next. The seriousness also incredibly emotional, some parts brought me to tears. If you like emotional romance with complications, this is absolutely the book for you, it’ll have you hooked in like none before.
Cabo read!. Started at the beginning of my trip snd I couldn’t stop reading! Very fun snd entertaining
Awesome book!. Definitely a must read!! Finished in like a day and a half!!
Loved it!. So glad there was a second book, it tied up any loose ends.
Love love love. Perfect part 2! This was truly the happy ending they deserved
Great book. I enjoyed reading both it ends with us & it starts with us Going through all the emotions tears, love, confusion & happiness Both are of the best books I ever read Strongly recommend them
The perfect ending!. What a wonderful ending to Lilys and Atlas story!!! I have my peace now!!
Love!. I loved this book so much! I was sad to read the last page, I wish she would just continue to write about their lives together. I would be very happy if she wrote one more book but I doubt she will. To anyone wanting to read these books, they are amazing! I will definitely read them again.
Great continuation. I really enjoyed this book!
Beautiful story. Really enjoyed it
First book cheesy second one boring. Boring and predictable, seems more like the author run out of ideas.
Total crap. Just basic and bland.
Worth the read if you read it ends with us. Nothing special
It starts with us. I loved this book! Really gave me closer on the last book and gave me the happy ending I’ve dreamed of 😍 love the plot and the different POVS
Happy Endings Do Exist. So happy Colleen Hoover wrote another book about Lily and Atlas. I just fell in love with their characters in It Ends With Us. This is my third read by Colleen Hoover and she doesn’t disappoint.
Much to be desired.. Very predictable. It feels like it was written by a high schooler. It is highly unrealistic. Overall it was not a good or interesting read. It ends with us is better, but still not great.
Don’t let it end here. Didn’t want it to end
Great ending.. Loved to see Atlas and Lily get their deserved ending.
Get a little more of it from me to the day before the week or next week. Do you want me to come over for next year’s dinner tonight
Meh. It was ok but nothing to get excited over. Ending seemed rushed
Amazing!. I loved this but I am so sad that the ending seemed rushed. It was definitely nice having a second book to read and see more of atlas and Lilly.
I honestly…. i honestly thought the first one was better, but i loved seeing how they ended up. just wish they would’ve gotten together sooner.
Predictable. It was a predictable story and anticlimactic comparing it to its predecessor. Still a good read if you enjoy sappy love stories.
😱. LOVED IT😍😍
Loved ❤️. I love the book so much
Meh. It was okay, liked the first one better.
Over Rated. I was slightly disappointed with this book. I expected more. It felt very predictable and I was rushing to finish it.
Love her!. Great read, not as good as the first, probably because it was a lot less action and a lot more love. Overall, it was a book!
It starts with us. Beautiful, memorable and simply wonderful. I couldn’t put it down
Must read!. This book was amazing and wonderful! I loved every minute of it.
How to rise above abuse. It was a good read I believe based on some of the authors history of spousal abuse and rising above. Not a favorite buy well written.
