About this listen
This riveting sequel to the “glorious and touching” (USA TODAY) #1 New York Times bestseller picks up where It Ends with Us concluded and shares what happens next for Lily and Atlas.
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.
Switching between the perspectives of Lily and Atlas, It Starts with Us picks up right where the epilogue for the “gripping, pulse-pounding” (Sarah Pekkanen, New York Times bestselling author) bestselling phenomenon It Ends with Us left off. Revealing more about Atlas’s past and following Lily as she embraces a second chance at true love while navigating a jealous ex-husband, it proves that “no one delivers an emotional read like Colleen Hoover” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author).

He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.

I love this book!!!
This series has got me in AHHH. Especially of how much I have related to this… granted not all same situations but I have been there first hand of domestic abuse… it triggered my PTSD a little in it ends with us. But this book it starts with us. My oh my. It gave me hope. It made me see the light at the end of the tunnel that there is hope and there is a way out of domestic abuse. There’s a way around dealing with their narcissistic Bs. There is hope. The message in these books. TREMENDOUS! And it reads so smoothly. I for one of my book club have to say…… I. LOVE. COLEEN. HOOVER.

I couldn't stop listeningggggg
everything I wanted it to be and a bit more! Give it a chance! It shows the other side of getting out of an abusive relationship. Some ppl say it takes away from the first novel but as a someone who witnessed their single mom escape an abusive relationship with kids, it doesn't end when you move out. You have to live with your child's other partner as they have the right to be in the life of their child but some times they don't act as we expect parents, or decent human beings for the matter, to act-They can use their defenseless children that they are supposed to protect wirh the intendtion to hurt the other parent but ultimately damaging the child's home life where their mental health usually takes shape. it's sad and brought back memories but it also shows healthy relationship which I'd just as important to raise awareness of. I do hope you enjoy. STAY SAFE OUT THERE DEAR READER!

Thank you and it’s Beautifully Done
For such an amazing character created in the first book as Atlas,it is such a reward to the readers to give him the background and story he he deserved. Thank you to the author for giving this to us to read. It was a bright spot in my week. I think it will go down as a favorite. Narrators both did a fantastic performance! Can’t say enough how much I loved it and recommend it if you loved book 1.
