Bookseller recommendation

“CoHo fans rejoice! At last we have the conclusion to the tragic heartbreaking tale of Lily, Ryle and Atlas. Before embarking on this journey, you must read It Ends With Us so that you can experience every traumatic gut wrenching moment of their lives. This book starts off exactly where the last one leaves off. Lily is now a single mother with the baggage of an abusive ex-husband and the promise of new love with an old love. Hoover surprised me with this slow burn that I could not put down! ”
— Suzanne • Underground Books

Summary
About the author

This riveting sequel to the “glorious and touching” (USA TODAY) #1 New York Times bestseller picks up where It Ends with Us concluded and shares what happens next for Lily and Atlas.

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, New York Times bestselling author ) 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).
