It starts with us è un libro scritto per chi ha amato (e quando dico amato intendo AMATO) It ends with us, se vi è piaciuto, se l’avete gradito, ma soprattutto se vi ha soddisfatto il finale, sappiate che questo non è un libro per voi.
Devo ammettere che ho iniziato il libro senza particolari aspettative eppure l’ho trovato comunque poco godibile. Purtroppo è un libro che cerca di essere un romance leggero ma ha delle premesse troppo pesanti. È difficile concentrarsi sulla tenerezza della storia d’amore mentre all’orizzonte incombono violenza e lotte in tribunale. Allo stesso tempo però la storia d’amore non lascia spazio all’approfondimento del “post-divorzio”, creando una sorta di ibrido che non regge affatto il confronto con It ends with us.
Mi spiace sia andata così.

This was the longest epilogue ever, BUT I actually liked it. I just love Atlas so much…

4.5 ⭐️
This was a quick read for me!! I loved getting to revisit these characters— and I loved getting to see them be happy!!! I gave this a 4.5 instead of 5 because I found myself struggling some with the cheesiness of the second half— I also almost felt like the first book could still stand alone.
What I loved-
•continued character growth and showing the possibility to grow and heal from trauma for a brighter future
•sweet callbacks to the first book
•Atlas and Josh
•healthy reminders that gaslighters/abusers can warp their victims’ brains/self-perceptions, but it’s possible to heal and come back from the abuse
I am unsure if I would read it again, but I was sooooo excited to read it, and it kept me coming back!
