Atlas' mother shows up at his restaurant to ask for help locating his younger brother Josh. Atlas is stunned because he didn't even know he had a brother. Suddenly, the vandalism made sense to Atlas. Atlas waits for his brother and has Lilly's second journal to keep him company. His brother eventually shows up. Atlas feeds him, they talk and Atlas invites him to his house. Lilly is struggling with co-parenting ideals. Lilly meets Josh over Facetime and Atlas tells Lilly he wants to gain custody of him. Atlas eases into the big brother role by asking Josh what he wants. Josh tells him he wants to live with his dad. Atlas says he'll see what he can do, but for now, Josh must return to Sutton. Atlas saves Josh from Sutton's beating.
Lilly contemplates how to tell Ryle that she's dating again. Lilly invites Atlas to be her plus one to Lucy's wedding. Atlas helps Josh to get his life straight. Lilly gets dressed to attend Lucy's wedding. During this time, Atlas notices Lilly's heart tattoo, leading to a calm yet vulnerable discussion between them detailing Ryle's abuse of her. Lilly and Atlas hang out after the wedding. They have a steamy yet gentle encounter.
Ryle is again enraged when he finds out Lilly and Atlas are dating. Ryle is so far into his fit of rage that he chokes Lilly. After the incident with Ryle, Lilly seeks comfort from Atlas. Ryle fights Atlas in another fit of rage. Atlas doesn't fight him back instead he gives Ryle sound advice. Lily and Atlas make plans for the future. In the morning, Atlas gets a visit from Sutton demanding he give Josh back to her. Their disagreement occurs in front of Josh leaving him reeling. Atlas takes Josh on a trip to see his father. Josh decides to stay with Atlas.
Ryle and Lily meet to discuss their visitation agreement. Atlas meets with his mother to discuss her granting him custody of Josh. Atlas writes Lilly another vulnerable "Dear Lilly" letter inviting her to move in with him and Josh. Atlas, Lilly, Josh, and Emerson get their happy ending. Sorry, for divulging a lot of the book's details again. I was trying to keep track of everything because this book has so much to absorb. Overall, this was a great duology. I love Atlas, he is such a sweet, solid man Everybody deserves to find their Atlas in life.
