"But, then I met you, Lily. And, even though I was nothing, when you looked at me, you somehow saw something. [...] You were the first person in my life to show an interest in who I was as a human."
"I'm exactly where I belong, being loved by Atlas Carrigan."
I was lucky to receive a copy of the book a day before its publication. The tale of Atlas and Lily finally in my hands. And, it really met my expectations.
The book begins immediately from where we were left off in It Ends with Us. Atlas and Lily meet again after almost two years, and it is explosive. They both want to be together, but they both have problems in their lives; Lily is afraid of Ryle, and how he is going to react if he finds out about Atlas, and Atlas' past comes back to haunt his present.
They have to figure out how to merge their lives together despite the obstacles, the difficulties, and the pain. Their bond though is so strong.
To be honest, in It Ends with Us, I felt that I didn't get the chance to know Atlas enough. I wanted to learn more about his past, his character, his life. This book satisfied this need of mine. If you think, you fell in love with Atlas in the first book... well, you will definitely fall in love with him more now. He is so kind, patient, loving, and truly, the ideal book boyfriend. He loves fiercely.
Lily is a very strong female character. I admire her tenacity and her inner monologue. She wants the best for her daughter, and that means dealing with Ryle, who is still fighting for her but in all the wrong ways.
I love how they learn about each other and their pasts. I won't spoil it for you. But, I really enjoyed it.
The secondary characters are a breath of fresh air. Alyssa, Marshall, Theo, etc. are well-written.
It gets emotional, happy and sad, but on the whole, the book ends with the catharsis, we all needed. It Ends with Us was heartbreaking in so many ways. It Starts with Us is heartbreaking in different ways, but you breathe happily and easily.
I read it in a few hours. I truly enjoyed it.
