Colleen Hoover's books are the kind you want to finish in a day. They pull you in and you're constantly wondering (and sometimes fearing) what will happen next. Definitely read the first book before this one. An excellent sequel.

3-3.5⭐️

i don’t think this book needed to be written and i don’t think it needed to be a whole new book. i would have been happy with a novella but i cant say i regret reading the book.

this book was average, it was real. seeing atlas and lily healing was amazing to see but i don’t think we needed it since it ends with us wasn’t about them, but i can see the high demand.

i think i liked this book because i like to see people happy. but i loved the minor characters more!!

if this book was never released i would be okay but i do think that it was a fast book to get through and i wouldn’t tell someone not to read it if they wanted to!!

This book really is the extra few chapters I think most people wanted at the end of “it ends with us” but bulked out a bit to make it it’s own book. 

Unfortunately for me there was still a letter to Ellen 🙄 this time written by a grown women but they didn’t continue. 

Pro’s it was lovely to see the story of Lilly and Atlas continue and show the truth of how leaving an abusive relationship is easy and clean cut with children. 

I also enjoyed the introduction of Josh as a character. I felt it really gave Atlas some depth and story of his own.

This wasn't the best book I've ever read, but I didn't mind one little bit. After the intensity and heavy content in It Ends With Us, I personally feel like this book was exactly what was needed to round of Lily and Atlas's story. It felt lighthearted and was an easy read. It did in some parts feel rushed and repetitive, but again that didn't phase me as I still enjoyed reading it. I adore the new characters introduced in this book, and the progression of Lily and Atlas made me feel like this series was complete.
