LoveReading Says

Picking up from where the incredible and award-winning It Ends With Us left us in 2016, Hoover finally gives her fans what they're looking for...more from Atlas and  Lily.

Switching between the perspectives of Atlas and Lily in each chapter, you are hooked from the first pages. Running away from domestic violence Lily decided on the birth of her daughter Emmy that she needed to leave her husband Ryle. Now co-parenting, the book opens with daughter Emmy age one, 29 months after the event that led to their separation. Occasional gaslighting and occasional flirtation aside, it’s working. Until it isn't. Until Lily bumps into the love of her life Atlas again, two years since last seeing each other. She crumbles in his presence, he's so easy for her to love, she has an Atlas shaped hole in her life and she admits she’d like to give it another go.

Except, there's Ryle. Ryle, who hates Atlas. Ryle, who she knows will not accept Atlas in her life.

We meet Atlas more fully, and oh who couldn't help but fall in love with him? Although this could be read as a standalone, we highly recommend that you read It Ends With Us first. Instead of coming to the relationship anew, you are already invested in them, their past, their love. As they reconnect and rekindle their young love, now as adults, as grown ups, with complicated lives, you hope upon hope that this time they get it right. That they make it. That they fight for their relationship, and win. Hoover polarises opinion, but like her or loathe her, I promise you'll fly through this and want more.
