A review by shameetha_rajeev
It Starts with Us by Colleen Hoover
3.0
This book was completely unnecessary and let me tell you why.
First off Atlas and Lily's relationship was completely bland?? It wasn't giving anything at ALL. Honestly I expected more from this book.
•The whole thing that really bugged me was that half of this book was literally filled with flashbacks which included scenes from the first book. It was like I was reading it all over again?? Totally unnecessary.
•THE ELLEN LETTERS???? I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT WAS NECESSARY??! As a grown adult she did not need to do that. And before y'all come for me and say oh it's her choice and stuff. YES IT'S HER CHOICE BUT IT ISN'T NECESSARY.
But was it not as a bad read maybe.
•THEN WE HAVE THIS AGGRAVATING SHIT RYLE This man can NOT take a hint?? Not only did he try to attack Lily EVEN AFTER SHE PITIED HIM WITH THE CUSTODY AGREEMENTS, This man continued to harass her constantly and keep gaslighting her from the fact that he was the one abusing her.
•One thing that absolutely carried the book was MY MAN THEO. This boy was out here making fun of sweet Atlas HAHAHHA.
•I think the relationship Atlas had with his brother was actually really sweet Not that we need any confirmation on how sweet he is but this was actually really wholesome<3
•ATLAS This man actually deserves the world and all the happiness he can get. All the things he went through and still managed to be strong.
AHHH I'm sure he cannot do any wrong cause even when THAT TRASH RYLE BASICALLY ATTACKED HIM, he still kept calm and EVEN GAVE HIM ADVICE.
If it takes a million kisses for her not to think about the scars that surround her heart tattoo, then I’ll kiss her there a million and one times.
AHHHH WHEN IS IT MY TURN FOR MEN LIKE THIS
