It doesn’t have the same weight as “It Ends with Us,” but still has its own charms.

This is the love story Lily deserved from the start.
As soon as the love interests were introduced in the original book, it was clear that Lily and Atlas belonged together. Ryle was never her perfect match.
While this book does feel a little preachy at times - by that I mean, less like I'm reading a fictional story as someone on a soap box telling me what is and isn't okay - I still absolutely loved it. It was a satisfying end to Lily and Ryle, and the new beginning for Lily and Atlas.
I also love Atlas' family story in here too. What a surprise that was!
I'm looking forward to my next CoHo book. (Once I get through some of my backlog that is...)

"Nothing you have done and nothing you could do would excuse any man’s hands on you out of anger."
Just when I thought I couldn't be more in love with a character, they impress me more. Men, we think it's sexy when you support your women... we WILL love you more, I promise. I have never finished one book and moved to another as fast as I did when I finished It Ends with Us (in the wee hours of the morning). Sure, there was an open ending with the first book, but mostly, I just needed MORE of these characters! This was the sequel we NEEDED in our lives. Once you’ve read the first, you MUST read this… life is not complete without it.
As with the first, this story deals with surviving domestic violence and the trauma that lingers with every interaction and memory drudged up. But it’s also a story about fighting and building your happily ever after. Lily has to be brave enough to go after what she wants and realize the value in being and having a supportive partner and found family.
Although there was still conflict to keep us engaged, this book was just icing. Because I am a new #cohort fan, I didn't know there was a world where this sequel didn't exist. So, THANK YOU to the fans for demanding one and THANK YOU Colleen for listening and delivering such a great book!
"How in the world she can make me feel so whole when I had no idea I was only half of myself without her."
