I also listened to the audio and really enjoyed the narrators.  I enjoyed this book slightly more than It Ends WIth Us, probably because this one introduce some entertaining new characters and was more hopeful.

It Starts With Us reads as a direct continuation of It Ends With Us.
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...)
