The much-anticipated sequel to
Colleen Hoover's gripping
bestseller titled It Starts With Us
was definitely worth the wait.
The book is told from the alternating perspectives of Atlas Corrigan, a top
chef in two popular Boston restaurants, Corrigan’s and Bibs, and Lily
Bloom, a successful florist. Being a single mother and a business owner,
Lily's days become busier after her divorce from Ryle Kincaid. Despite
being so occupied, Lily is still afraid of her ex-husband, who had hit her
and attempted to rape her. She is plagued by bad memories.
When Atlas, her first love, returns to her life, she realizes that her life
has just gotten a lot more complex than before. Terrified Ryle would
not approve of Atlas being her new boyfriend and, more importantly,
Ryle and Lily’s daughter Emerson’s stepfather, Lily can’t bring herself
to confess her feelings either to Atlas or to Ryle.
