A review by shelfcarebyken
It Starts with Us by Colleen Hoover

3.0

I was one of many of the almost 2 million people who have read and rated It Ends With Us on Goodreads who gave the first of this duology a 5 star rating. I was obviously excited to read its sequel, even though CoHo herself had admittedly said that this sequel was never in the plan until the popularity gain the first book had from TikTok. I do appreciate an author wanting to give their readers a book that HIGHLY sought after.

While I did enjoy this book, it certainly isn’t my favorite Colleen Hoover book. Some parts felt repetitive of the first book with the multi-page long journal entries of events we’d already read from the first book (+ trust me, I literally will cringe if I have to read another fictional letter written to Ellen Degeneres
