Our Review of It Starts with Us
Colleen Hoover's "It Starts with Us" picks up where the emotional journey of "It Ends with Us" left off, offering a deeper look into the lives of Lily Bloom and Atlas Corrigan. The story begins with Lily adjusting to life as a single mother while co-parenting with her ex-husband, Ryle. The tension between creating a stable environment for her daughter and dealing with her unresolved feelings for Atlas forms a captivating narrative.
Lily's struggle to move past a toxic relationship while finding her footing in a new chapter of her life is portrayed with raw honesty. Her interactions with Atlas, who reenters her life as a source of unwavering support and love, are both heartwarming and poignant. Atlas represents hope and resilience, and their rekindled relationship highlights the beauty of second chances.
The book does an excellent job of depicting the complexities of co-parenting. Lily's efforts to maintain a civil relationship with Ryle, despite their troubled history, add a layer of realism to the story. These moments reflect the real challenges faced by many single parents, making the characters' experiences relatable and authentic.
Interestingly, Hoover was hesitant to write a sequel to "It Ends with Us," fearing it might not live up to the expectations of her readers. However, the immense demand from fans persuaded her to continue the story of Lily and Atlas. This sequel not only meets those expectations but often surpasses them, providing a satisfying continuation for fans of the first book.
Hoover's engaging writing style makes "It Starts with Us" an easy and compelling read. She skillfully addresses heavy themes such as domestic abuse, trauma, and healing while incorporating moments of hope and joy. The book maintains a balance between heart-wrenching and uplifting, ensuring readers remain engrossed from start to finish.
Ultimately, "It Starts with Us" is a touching exploration of love, resilience, and new beginnings. It's a must-read for fans of the first book, offering a fulfilling continuation of Lily and Atlas's story. Hoover's nuanced portrayal of relationships and her ability to weave an engaging narrative make this book a standout in contemporary romance literature.
