The #1 New York Times bestselling, emotionally rawIt Ends with Us—now a major motion picture—and its powerful sequel It Starts with Usare together in this collection that is perfect for new and longtime fans of the evocative story of Lily, Ryle, and Atlas.
In the “brave and heartbreaking” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author) #1 New York Times bestselling TikTok sensation It Ends with Us, Lily is overwhelmed with passion for the inflexible and proud Ryle. But her too-good-to-be-true romance is suddenly a lot more complicated when her first love, Atlas, suddenly comes back into her life.
Then, in It Starts with Us, read Atlas’s side of the story as Colleen Hoover explores more of Atlas’s past and what comes next for him, Lily, and Ryle.

Title: Excellent read
Review: Was very moving from both ends of the spectrum. Really showcased how an abuser operates and uses love and control over another but it showed her resilience and determination to leave for her daughter and herself to ensure the cycle ended and she found happiness. It also brought forth true love and family bonds. They come in all forms

Title: 5 Forever Unforgettable Stars!
Review: "It Ends with Us" by Colleen Hoover has been on my TBR list forever. I had not gotten to it. Then came "It Starts with Us," the follow-up book. I added that to my TBR list. I had not gotten to that either. So now, this August comes the movie of Book #1, "It Ends with Us." I might actually get to that, so I made a point of buying this duet and reading it before the movie is released.Having finally read these two dynamic books, I see what all the buzz is about. While I have been blessed to avoid any domestic violence in my own life, I know there are many that have not been so lucky. This story deals with not only that, but also with characters who have risen above their upbringing at the hands of parents who were far less than stellar. Lily and Atlas could have followed in their parents footsteps, but they didn't. Their conviction to be better and do better, and their love for each other ultimately triumphs, but not before they each face down demons and hardships that no teens, nor adults should have to face. I found their characters so inspiring. Reading their story was rough yet beautiful and ultimately satisfying.Colleen Hoover's writing evokes in the reader all the emotions her characters deal with throughout their lives. I could feel their pain and revel in their joy as I read. I was completely captivated by Atlas and Lily's story in "It Ends with Us," and I absolutely loved their continued story in "It Starts with Us." I disliked Ryle from the beginning so I'm purposefully ignoring him in my review, easier to do here than it was to do while reading these two stories. I'd love to have a friend like Lily in my life, and wouldn't we all love to have a man like Atlas in our lives? I literally swooned over him throughout these two stories. These are grab-your-heart-and-hold-it-hostage reads with important messages that everyone should make a point to devour at some time in their life. Bravo, Colleen Hoover!

Title: There Is An End
Review: I loved both books. The first.âIt Ends with Usâ, I was spellbound, with the reality of domestic violence, that you can break away. I knew someone who was murdered by her ex-husband. Therefore, this brought back that we need to make sure that these books keep into circulation to help women are abused. Thank you for a beautiful written book I love there was a happy ending to Lily and Atlas. People just need to keep swimming, they will get to where they want to be.

Title: Ends with us is great, the other book not so much
Review: It Ends with Us is a compelling story of strength and resilience. At times I really wanted Ryle to get better and other times I wanted Lily to push him into traffic. Hoover does a masterful job of showing why some women in abusive relationships don't leave, or why they do leave and go to another abuser. I wanted Ryle to get better and for them to live happily ever after, but that was definitely not meant to be.It Starts with Us was extremely disappointing. It reads like a young adult or teen novel with some great adult sex scenes thrown in to make it interesting. It repeats, word-for-word, many of Lily's journal entries from the first book. I wanted true closure with her and Ryle, (whatever that would be), but that is left hanging. The whole book came across to me as an afterthought, hastily thrown together to cash in while Book Tok users were engaged. The ending left me highly unsatisfied, but it didn't leave me wanting more from these characters that were never fully developed.

Review: à incrÃvel como a Colleen Hoover construiu os personagens com base em tanta maturidade emocional e social. Lily e Atlas são as pessoas que queremos ter por perto, ser nossos amigos para compartilhar os altos e baixos da vida. Também pode ser uma leitura terapêutica para aqueles que se identificam de alguma forma com a situação dos personagens, ler os relatos e situações te faz lembrar que vc não é a única e infelizmente não será a última a passar por elas e acompanhar a atitude deles te dá forças para refletir sobre as próprias atitudes. Recomendo muito!,

Review: Both books were wonderful. I read them both so quickly,I wish i had slowed down to savor each page. While dark areas are touched on,the good far outweighs the bad.
