These 2 books are so good in my opinion and GREAT for a reading slump! The writing is so easy to read and it has this kind of element that always makes you want to keep reading. I love it when I find that in a book, so this series does mean something to me.

It Starts with Us shows the after effects of abuse in every form. It shows how realistic, how tragic and how even a happily ever after is still shadowed by the ache and reminder of abuse. 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.thanks a lot, CoHo. love your books, including this one, but stay out of reader spaces. please and thank you. Not for me. I’m not into romance novels and though this book has a bit more substance, it’s a bit too formulaic. I stopped reading it and just read the ending and the note from the author which I did like reading. This book is being made into a movie and I think I may like the movie version. We’ll see. As a child of divorced parents and a childhood filled with co-parenting, “It Starts With Us” deeply resonated with me and felt like an accurate portrayal of the difficulties of marriage which I saw growing up. Almost half of marriages end in divorce, and this novel makes this statistic come to life. For the Ryle apologist and stans: I’m so glad Colleen wrote this book because there’s NO room for y’all’s bullshit. He is an abuser. This isn’t a dark romance. This is a contemporary romance where an abuser stays abusive, continues to be abusive in the tiniest ways and the cycles are broken. He truly and will forever be a terrible person and I’m so glad that this book continuously highlighted that. Abusers don’t “change” and even if they do, the cycle should be broken forever. Despite minor flaws such as how unrealistic the characters *coughs* Alyssa *coughs* can be, It Ends with Us was fun to read and I admire how Hoover interweaves serious themes and personal experiences throughout the book. It gave It Ends with Us a more grounded take which I could relate to at times.

i don’t get why this book had to exist. it just feels like she is monetizing off the weird success it ends with us got on booktok, and it definitely reads like a cash grab as well.

I loved both of these books. I was going through a stage where I hadn’t been reading for months and months

I wasn’t fond of the diary entries to Ellen in the first book and I especially didn’t like them here. It was cute when she was younger, but we’re grown folks now Lily. Ellen is not reading that shit, cut it out. Anyway, this was mid. Lily was too damn kind. Call me bitter, but if it were me, I’d leave Ryle to rot in hell and not let that man anywhere near my child. Quite a few grammatical errors. I was surprised as popular these books and author are; I thought there'd be better editing. I definitely went into the wrong profession. I understand that it would be very hard for Lily to win over Ryle in court, and the ending was probably more realistic with him still being involved; but if that’s the case, it doesn’t “end” with you and your daughter! If Ryle doesn’t have Lily in his life to abuse, guess who his next victim is going to be? International and #1 New York Times bestselling author of romance, YA, thriller, women's fiction and paranormal romance.My heart is bursting with everything that is in Atlas heart. That man, his passion, his love his tenderness and compassion, im head over heels here. This book is amazing. Just like the first one. I was considering it to be a solid four-star. Until the last chapter. Wonderful! My husband, Muhammad Ali, lived his life connecting with people across cultures and countries with curiosity, kindness and compassion. As Muhammad demonstrated throughout his life, creating a kinder world does start with us.”

Colleen Hoover takes us on a whole new emotional rollercoaster, this time, switching between the perspective of Atlas and Lily as they navigate friendship, love and a very jealous ex-husband... This book is going to be turned into a movie! If you like this book, you should watch it! The film is coming out February 9th, 2024.year old Theo who talked like he was going on 50 was my favorite character in this book. And you know why? Because this little kid was pretty much bullying Atlas every time they interacted and I loved it. Some adults should be bullied more. 💅 I also want to add, I loved the side characters. Every single one of them. Theo and Josh stole my goddamn heart. The only thing I rolled my eyes at was Lily writing to Ellen still but alas a book can’t be too perfect.
