It Starts With Us by Colleen Hoover

laurensherwin's review against another edition

1.0

1.5 starts. I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. This book did not need to exist. It was so bland. SO bland. The cute parts were cute and I enjoyed reading them so that’s why I’m giving it 1.5 but everything else was unnecessary. Josh didn’t really serve a purpose to the story. He was kinda just there. This entire book consists of only those filler chapters that are boring but you read because it’s a part of the book and feel like you need to but not because they add to anything. The epilogue in It Ends With Us told you Lilly and Atlas end up together and that’s essentially what this book drags out.

Not her worst book but definitely not the best.

Also, “it is my wish for you to be my fish”

I feel like I just read a book about nothing in particular?
