It Starts with Us

After finishing It Ends with Us, I was really happy to get the chance to return to Lily and Atlas’s story in It Starts with Us. This book felt like the closure that many readers were hoping for.

One of my favourite parts was finally getting Atlas’s perspective. Learning more about his past and seeing his thoughts made me appreciate his character even more. His relationship with Lily felt supportive and healthy, and it was refreshing to read a romance built on trust, communication, and respect.

The book also shows that moving on is not always simple, especially when there are responsibilities and connections to the past that cannot be ignored. I liked that the story did not pretend everything suddenly became perfect, but instead showed the challenges that come with building a new chapter in life.

Compared to It Ends with Us, this book felt softer and more hopeful. There is less emotional heaviness and more focus on healing and second chances.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading It Starts with Us. It may not have had the same emotional impact as the first book, but it was satisfying to see these characters finally get some happiness after everything they had been through.
