This sequel to It Ends With Us was the perfect happy ending for Lily and Atlas’ story. And  it wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows either (it def had sunshine and rainbows tho), it still showed the challenges of

navigating a divorced marriage with kids, which i really liked. Theo was adorable, and when he brought up the pride parade thing with Josh?! I LOVED that!!<spoiler/> And lily and Atlas. Their relationship is so beautiful and inspiring. A beautiful book for the sequel. ❤️

3.0

Surprisingly enjoyable after detesting the first book 3🌸 

NB I picked up this book expecting to hate & make fun of it, but ended up liking the story. I found it really satisfying & empowering to see Lily call out Ryle’s abusive behaviour & get a second chance of love with Atlas. There are still Ellen DeGeneres diaries but thankfully not as much as book 1 + the inclusion of Atlas’ perspective was a good addition.
