I’m glad that this story had a decent resolution. I hope Ryle has the life he deserves

I loved that she found love again with Atlas.  The second book brought closure to the first.  I'm glad she followed up with this book.  I really did enjoy the series.  I wanted to like Ryles but I just can't.  He needs continued help and he needs to let Lily go.  Sometimes it's hard to let the person you love go for their own best interest.

3 and 1/2 stars.

a friend hand me this one, and it was surprisingly great (?)
i’ve enjoyed the characters more than in the first book. this wasn’t the greatest book i’ve read in my life, but truly enjoyable.
the writing style of colleen hoover hasn’t improved, but the book as boring as it ends with us.

Just an elaborate happy ending to a sad story. Atlas's character felt too good to be true.

I feel like this is more of an extended epilogue than a sequel. It wasn’t bad, it wasn’t good, it just exists.

Super fast and easy follow up to It Starts with Us. It was fun to read more about Atlas and Lily’s life after Ryle.
