I loved this read. I already miss Atlas and his easy presence in everything he does. I appreciated Hoover showing us Lily & Atlas’s understanding that it wasn’t their responsibility to fix other people. In the lighter moments, Lily and Atlas were so cute to read & I’m glad Hoover gave us this second book so we could see them together.

4.55 ⭐️ highly anticipated what story this book would tell and where it would take lily Ryle and atlas. Lily and atlas were destined to be together ryle was just an obstacle in her path to reunite with atlas. It seemed like everything was going to work out perfectly for them for ever no matter when they found eachother. Atlas was the perfect man, I enjoyed the little brother addition and Theo as atlas’s therapist. Was atlas too goo to be true idk but lily deserved to have it work out with atlas.

The Ellen letters seemed more cheesy in this book than in the first but it was how she worked her issues out. The whole book I was anticipating a big blow up from Ryle and ended up kind-of hoping for it (like lily) so that there would be the proof to protect lily’s rights to her daughter, with the lack of any physical, photo/video I still felt like Ryle could have the upper hand in the future. I liked Alyssa’s and marshals continued support and the cameo of their mom but since there was really no focus on Ryle in the book we missed out on any of their points of view. The main focus was on the vandalism and little brother and exploring Atlas’s history. There were many little peaks but no big climax in this story. Worth the read for sure!!

*This review is just for my memory*

Doesn’t touch It Ends With Us, but I devoured it all the same.

I’m so happy that she wrote a 2nd part! I knew I needed the story to continue after I finished the first one and I was so excited to pick up where the story ended.

I just love the story of Atlas and Lily; how their lives were just perfect for each other. I ended this book with a warm and happy heart knowing that things were so much better for the characters.

J’ai aimé ce livre, malheureusement il semblait trop superficiel. Les scènes étaient trop écourtées alors que d’autres complètement effacées. J’aurais aimé pour lire les scènes où Atlas rencontre son avocat pour Josh, Lily avec son avocat pour sa fille, le mariage de lucy, l’anniversaire de Emmy, comment Atlas a demander Lily en mariage, les dîners de familles avec Josh, les premier mots d’Emma et ses premiers pas. C’est le genre de livre qui a beaucoup de potentiel sans livrer la marchandise. J’ai aimer qu’on en apprenne plus sur le passé d’atlas mais encore là il manquait de profondeur. J’aurais aimé plus de scènes entre lui et ses amis qui ne sont pas au restaurant, des souvenirs quand il était dans les marines, est-ce qu’il avait des amis dans l’armée? Des chocs post traumatiques? On dirait que l’auteur a écrit ce livre à la va-vite pour s’en débarrasser. Dommage, ça aurait pu être encore mieux

Fue como un curita al corazón luego de leer ese primer libro. A muchos no les gustó y se puede notar por ese 3.86 de puntuación que tiene actualmente. Para mí fue un 5 porque pude ver finalmente un poco más de Atlas, que sinceramente creo que es un personaje con características básicas pero que obviamente al venir de leer a Ryle puede verse como "wow", pero siento que Atlas actúa con la decencia básica de lo que deberían ser los seres humanos. Me gustó poder ver el avance de la relación entre él y Lily pero también los acontecimientos con Ryle y los personajes secundarios. Un libro que tiene momentos bonitos, incómodos, difícil pero que cierra de buena manera.
