It Starts with Us: A Novel (It Ends with Us)
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.

I had anxiety throughout most of this book because, Ryle. But my God Colleen, you could not have written it more perfectly. Thank you for giving Atlas and Lily all the love and happiness they deserved.
I teared up, I literally laughed out loud, and read with bated breath while my heart was simultaneously bursting.
