this is the sequel to it ends with us. this book follows lily, who is managing being a single mother while dealing with the trauma from her marriage, and atlas, who comes back into lily’s life and ends up having to face his own past.

let me say from the start this book is definitely fan service. i know some people mind that (i personally don’t), and colleen hoover said in the beginning that this book was written as a thank-you to fans of it ends with us, so just keep that in

My Grade: C+ This book is completely a fan service read and I wish it wasn't. I wanted something more. Perhaps the 1st book didn't really need a sequel after all.

The Good

The Meh
-The slow burn was weird. Like come on!

The Bad
-Ryle. Screw that guy and all the friends and family who didn't step in sooner and do something about him. This went on way too long and pissed me off.

Couldn’t finish this terrible book. I can’t anymore with her terrible writing and simple plots.
