It Starts with Us by Colleen Hoover
4.0
I originally didn’t plan to read this sequel because I was happy with the ending of It Ends With Us and was scared that that would be ruined.
However, curiosity got the best of me and I just can’t let a series go unread! I am glad that I read this book, was it as enjoyable as the first one? No, but that is also an extremely high bar to hit! Was it enjoyable as it’s own book? Yes!
I am content with how Colleen Hoover wrapped up Lily and Atlas’s story, it wasn’t perfect, it didn’t happen overnight and there were still plenty of bumps in the road. This to me made it very realistic and relatable. Real life isn’t like a perfectly curated romance novel and Colleen Hoover somehow still makes something so raw and emotional and relatable super enjoyable to read. How does she do this? I am unsure but I will definitely keep reading her books and keep having my heart torn out by her!
