Definitivamente Atlas y Lili se merecían una historia bella, sin embargo, es un fan service hecho y derecho (la misma C.H. lo confirma en su nota de autora).

Si quieres darle un cierre romántico y lindo a la historia está increíble, pero para mantener la esencia de la historia creo que hubiera estado mejor que nos contará solo la vida de Atlas hasta antes de conocer a Lily o pudimos explorar la vida de uno de los nuevos personajes que se suman a la trama.

En esta parte de la historia sigo teniendo pensamientos encontrados respecto a Ryle en la vida de Lily.

I like this book, but....

I do somewhat agree with other reviews that this book was not “necessary”. That being said, if you enjoyed the first book and love Atlas & Lily, I believe you will enjoy this. It’s incredibly wholesome and it just felt good to see the two happy.

However, that is where the but comes in for me. It was too incredibly wholesome and good. I wish life was like this, but it's not for most people. Don't get me wrong, I am happy for Atlas and Lily, and Emmy and Josh. But there were two very good story lines that could have been fleshed out, but both just crumbled in on themselves with easy outs, unlike real life.

That being said, it's a feel good contemporary read. Have fun.

3 stars.

The first book broke my trust in all men and this one somehow built it back up

Yup I finished this within 24 hours. I love their love story. As someone who's never known true love this book was a fantasy for me, one that pulled me in for all 320 pages
